After more than two and a half decades on King Street, Silver Dollar, a beloved laid-back, no-frills bar, is set to close. Owner Steve Sher opened the spot back in December 1999, and it quickly became a go-to for Charleston nightlife.

“This bar has been my second home. We’ve watched Charleston grow, celebrated milestones, mourned losses, made lifelong friends, and shared more incredible nights than I could ever count. To every person who ever pushed open our front door—thank you. You built this place just as much as I did,” said Sher.
