The Royal American

Bar, kitchen and small indoor concert room on upper Morrison Drive, open since 2011. Capacity is not published by the venue; third-party booking listings cite roughly 150 inside plus about 150 on the patios, and around 320 for full-buyout private events. Open daily 11am-2am with the kitchen serving until 1am. Most shows are 9pm doors, running to 2am; standard cover is $10 and some nights are free. It also runs larger outdoor events in its parking lot - the annual Boogieman Halloween Festival (Oct 31, 2026) uses two stages and about 15 bands from 1pm, and the Biker Oyster Roast runs each December. The venue describes its booking as original music from local, regional and national artists; the calendar skews rock, punk, garage, hip-hop, alternative and country. Contact 843-817-6925 / kirsten@theroyalamerican.com. Parking is on-site lot and street parking on Morrison Drive rather than a garage. About 4.5-5 miles from Mount Pleasant over the Ravenel Bridge - the first exit-side venue after the bridge.
