Poogan's Smokehouse
188 E Bay St, Charleston, SC
40 Capacity
$1,040 to $2,720 for 40 Guests
Located right on East Bay Street in downtown Charleston, Poogan’s Smokehouse brings a different expression of Southern cooking to the Poogan name. Our roots trace back just a few doors down to Poogan’s Porch, a Charleston institution since 1976. When Smokehouse opened in 2015, we took that heritage in a new direction: slow-smoked barbecue, Southern staples, a deep whiskey selection, and the kind of easygoing hospitality that has always been at the heart of Poogan’s.
It makes for a gathering place with plenty of character and very little pretense. From rehearsal dinners and welcome parties to corporate gatherings, birthdays, and milestone celebrations, events here feel distinctly Charleston while leaving plenty of room to make them your own.

People Often Ask
Yes! You may update your guest count up to 72 hours before your event. Your guest count at that time becomes your guaranteed minimum. A minimum of 15 guests is required for all semi-private and private events. If your guaranteed guest count falls below 15, you will still be charged for 15 guests at the adult package price.
If you need to cancel, we require written notice at least 72 hours before your event start time to avoid food waste and adjust staffing schedules. If you provide at least 72 hours’ notice, your deposit will be refunded in full to the card on file.
Because guests tend to mingle and move around during events, we require one host check for all pre-selected event food and beverage packages. If friends, family members, or coworkers would like to contribute, partial payments can be applied toward the host check, but all event food and beverage selections will remain on a single bill.
We're proud to offer a wide selection of options, including beers, wines, and spirits. Our bar packages start with a two-hour minimum and are priced per guest over 21. We also offer a consumption bar, where drinks are charged per order on the host’s final bill, or a cash bar, where guests pay for their own drinks. We kindly ask that no outside alcohol joins the party.
Events are scheduled for three-hour intervals. Please inquire if you need additional event time. The host may have access to the space 30 minutes prior to the event start time for setup and decorating. After the event, the host will have 30 minutes for cleanup and breakdown.
We are happy to accommodate any allergies or dietary restrictions. We do request ample notice for allergies in the event that we need to place a special food order.
