Charleston can be both a difficult and easy place for Dry January. It all depends on your perspective. 

Uptown Social, Share House and Bodega are now serving these brews that pay homage to each establishment. 

All these Charleston holiday cocktails are worth putting on the nice list. 

As you might recall from my latest Bar Tab column on the seasonal Witch's Brew and Hokus Potion cocktails at Harold's Cabin, I love Halloween. 

With summer coming to a close and fall on the horizon, restaurants and bars around town will soon be switching over their seasonal menus. 

A frosé berry kombucha was on tap at the newest establishment to pop up in the Charleston peninsula's Brewery District, Bevi Bene.

There's birthday cake, and then there's a birthday cocktail. You can find the latter at the Park & Grove on Rutledge Avenue.

Why must all the good places come and go so quickly?

Their names are a play on favorite songs and artists, including some who have actually played at the North Charleston outdoor venue.

A locally owned and operated restaurant chain is celebrating Piña Colada Day with a close cousin of the frozen beverage. 

It was a Thirsty Thursday at The Joe, and instead of wading through the $1 beer line, I headed out in search for something I had heard murmurs about but had never tried for myself. 

Earlier this month, we celebrated Cinco De Mayo, many with a margarita around town. That included Santi's, my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant in Charleston. 

The first Bar Tab column I wrote was on one of my go-to drinks in town: The Royal American's rum punch. 

Zero George's restaurant and bar may cater to inn guests, but it's also a sweet splurge spot for locals to check out at least once, if not quarterly as the multi-course tasting menu changes with the seasons. 

The traditional Wisconsin brandy slush was named after the famed Lake Michigan boat race in which Bumpa once finished first runner up in 1962. 

I went in search of a margarita, and instead I found an even better drink. 

Along with a polished new look, Big John's has a fancy cocktail list to go with it. And the bar's signature beverage is a showstopper. 

It's the most scandalous drink on the menu, and it happens to be the most popular.

When I saw The Post and Courier's photo gallery of Last Saint, what grabbed me was the juxtaposition of a high-class atmosphere with a stuffed animal claw machine in the corner.

With a location in St. John, it's no surprise The Longboard on Sullivan's Island has a decidedly tropical feel, despite residing quite a bit north of its counterpart.

If you've made it this far through Dry January, you deserve some applause. And to celebrate, why not try a locally crafted mocktail in your honor? 

If there's one right way to start off a new year, it's with dreams of stardom.

Santa Claus can be found at a pop-up holiday cocktail venture on King Street that's open through New Year's Eve. 

A dive bar on St. Philip Street is the recipient of the $10,000 prize money from an award-winning cocktail submitted by a Charleston bartender. 

Lavender Town is also a reference to the city from the "Pokémon Red & Blue" video game that premiered in 1996. 

The Rum Punch is a favorite at The Royal American. It's been around for a decade.
