Readers' Choice: Name Your Favorite Local Bar

We have relaunched our Readers' Choice contest with dozens of new categories, including local bars.

It may not be a famous as Cheers, but there’s a local bar that has just as much personality in your town.

While it may be a total dive, it’s got charm and personality that is only increased by the people who frequent it.

Is there a great place to have drinks with friends? A happy hour venue, where you don’t mind hanging out with co-workers?

What makes it great? The bartender? The music? Beer selection?

We want to know all about your favorite watering hole.

Nominate it to be part of our “Best Local Bar,” as Patch unveils its Readers' Choice.

Just log in and post your vote in the comments section below. You may nominate multiple places, but please post each nomination in a separate comment so we can make sure they are all counted. Your nominee must be in Irmo, Lexington, Spring Valley or St. Andrews to be eligible.

Nominations are due by July 9.

Voting for Readers’ Choice 2012 will begin in late July and winners will be announced in August.
