The Silver Dollar was named in remembrance of the legendary Silver Dollar bar located on Washington Street in Boston during the 1940's owned by Harry Sher. Along with being an immensely popular destination for soldiers during World War II, the Silver Dollar was the longest bar in the country, measuring over 100 feet! Two of Harry's grandson's Steve and Doug Sher, moved to Charleston and opened the Silver Dollar at 478 King Street on December 30, 1999. Silver Dollar is the oldest operating bar on upper King Street, the Dollar continues to entertain our patrons with nightly live music, innovative and delicious cocktails, and a great and friendly staff!
