About
SEANACHAI WHISKEY & COCKTAIL BAR
Founded in 2011 on Johns Island, Seanachai has grown into a Charleston landmark with it’s signature cocktails, extensive whiskey list, and a Chef-driven menu with Irish classics and unique creations all their own. Owners Jason and Marissa Myers bought the Pub from founder Gerry Kieran in early 2019 after falling in love with the Johns Island establishment and everything it stands for. With a warm and welcoming interior and hand-built wooden bar, Seanachai focuses on elevated cocktail and food offerings while keeping the experience grounded and reasonable for their patrons. Always in the running for Johns Island’s Best Happy Hour, Seanachai also has nightly food and drink specials, unique Cocktails of the Week, and a Sunday Brunch that’s become ridiculously popular as of late.
WE SUPPORT LOCAL
With an effort to support local artists, artisans, farmers, purveyors, distillers, brewers, and craftsmen, Seanachai embraces the vibrant local community as much as possible. A large lush patio out back invites celebrating long into the night with a fire pit, darts, outdoor bar, and plenty of seating and space for children and dogs alike. This patio has also hosted some incredible music and fundraising events such as the Travelin’ Kine and the annual Veteran’s Day Oyster Roast in support of local Veteran’s group Vantage Point.
