Reviews of Charleston Rifle Club (Bowling Alley)

Wes Stallard

Awesome private club. Drinks are reasonably priced for the area, private 12 lane bowling alley, great views of the Ashley River, and an excellent place to rent a dance hall.

Luberta Dawson

I was here for a wedding.... great location

CHRISTY CAWLEY RASP

Always a great time playing trivia with friends!

David Jones

Racism is not cool. If you don't support the KKK then don't support these "good" people.

I guess Jim Crowe is a member of this club...either change your racist “traditions” or shut your doors for good!

Russ Johnson

Low price drinks, local crowd, everyone has a good time.

Brian Shirley

Performed here with Tracy Smith and I've also been here when it was used as a staging area for the cast of "Mr. Mercedes "

Firstline Firearms Academy

Racist club with majority of racist members.

Andy Schellhaas

Unlike race, gender, and sexual orientation, membership to this club is optional. 100+ years of white-only membership, and all of the members are now claiming that this is the first they're hearing of racist policies, and that few are speaking for the majority. This is a culture cultivated over decades, not simply a mistake made last month. Sorry to hear that this club and it's members treated Dr Brown so poorly.

Roger Williamson

I was there as a guest of friends for a private party. Very reasonable alcohol and food prices. Beautiful views of the marsh and waterfront. Had an incredible band.

Harvey Dick II

Good people, great place!

David Duranceau

I joined this club several years ago because of the friends I met who belong there, it’s long history, and the new friends I met as a guest before joining. I joined the club for the way it is. I did not join so I could change it to be something different. The staff there are terrific, the entertainment and club activities are great, and I would not change it at all. Love the club!

Joe Pinto

Private Club, Great Place, cheap drinks

joslyn jelinek

This club doesnt admit African Americans for membership. Full stop. They haven't and they won't. Not today and not in the future. Please don't plan your parties here or join friends if you support this policy. Women cant have membership without a father of husband sponsorship. Ha!

Tyler Atwood

Great bowling facility

Steve Berry

Great bowling. Lots of events. The membership is prestigious for a good reason. The dance floor is packed and bands are always very well received on nights scheduled way in a advance. The officers of the club care a lot about this club.

Kim Collins

The biggest Exchange Club in the United States meets every Thursday at noon here.

michelle craven

Love this private club!

Paula Montague

Apparently POC are not welcomed. This is a WHITE ONLY establishment. Although that may be what attracts your members.

Eric Magee

A great place and good people! Awesome bowling league and did I happen to mention the good people!

veezy X

It’s sad that in 2018 you don’t want to bring people together by simplest thing of bonding with friends and family by shooting and trying with firearms

Charles Benci

Billie Attaway

Great club, bowling fellowship

Jen Sommer

Full disclosure- I’ve never set foot in this club nor had known of its existence until I heard about the club’s decision to blackball Dr.Melvin Brown, MD, a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, retired Navy doctor, and a highly respected member of the Charleston community. The fact that he is African-American apparently was enough to convince six members of the club to veto approval of his membership. Of the 14 up for consideration, only he was not deemed worthy of joining the all white club. Kudos to the three members who endorsed Dr.Brown’s application. Would be interesting to know the names of those who vetoed it and hear in their own words why they were against his membership.

This place smells and the food is just meh. Roaches and rats were seen in the kitchen.

Michael Peifer

Great facility for events. Large Ballroom and very friendly staff. Huge dance floor with a stage. Affordable fee.

Robert Resurgent

Any club, individual or organisation deserves the right to privacy and freedom from harassment.Stand strong against hate.

Blair Zelasko

Pretty

William Isaksen

Attended a private party here recently. I was very impressed with the Charleston Rifle Club. Evidently most negative reviews listed here are purely political from people (sheep)who have never been here!!! The grounds and building were impressive and very clean. The staff very friendly and professional. Food and drinks were good and very reasonable. They even have a bowling alley!!!!! This is the type of club we all wish we had in our town. If I didn't live 800 miles away, and only visit a few times a year, I would look into getting sponsored to be considered for membership. Thank you Judy, Steve and the Charleston Rifle Club for a memorable evening. William Leo Isaksen-guest of Mat Moore, My son in law.

Nathan Smith, MBA

Charleston Rifle Club deserves 0 stars, not 1 star!!!!! Denying membership based on race is not cool at all.

Robert Carbonaro

Great private club... Been a member for years... In here playing darts with my wife tonight.

Dawn Nettles

Membership required. Not open to the public.

André Johnson

SAD

Brenda Dunn

Visiting with friends, had a wonderful time

Scott Curry

(Translated by Google) Excellent coming (Original) Excellent venue

Brendan Richardson

Can't give it Zero Stars, sadly. My wife is a med school classmate of Melvin Brown and a Mt Pleasant native. After reading the article and hearing about Dr. Brown's Naval service, commitment to community and stellar reputation, all I can say is "Wow". All praise to Dr. Brown for applying and his friends who nominated him and nothing but pity and deep seated shame for the anonymous members who blackballed him. I hope the Club can change but until it does, we will never attend an event there or support it in any way. We will definitely be going to Mel's (Harold's) Cabin though. Those are the kind of people we want to associate with. People who judge others based on their character, their selflessness and service to others and their commitment to a just and sane world. Dr. Brown clearly stands out and above in those categories. If Harold's decides to institute a "membership"policy, I'll be the first to apply.

Mike Smith

It's old and it needs some remodeling done on it.

Robert E Saxon

I support and welcome them.

Nicole Fagala

Nice facilities

Leonard Ripley

This used to be one of the finest clubs in Charleston. No more!

Yvonne Mills

Been a member for over 25 years. This place is full of ppl who are like family to me.

David Syd

It's stunning that even today, organisation can be run by members who regard people, not on the content of their character, but the color of their skin (apologize to Martin Luther King, Jr.). What otherwise looks a fine establishment, should be boycotted universally. If those members are unable to see the errors of their ways through basic societal norms and expectations, then I urge a signifcant drop in patronage to assist them in seeing the light.

Douglas McCants

It has a nice atmosphere, staff is very friendly and willing to assist you at a moments notice. It is clean and well kept. I would truly recommend Charleston Rifle Club to everyone.

Bobby Russell Jr

Classic and Timeless!

John Butler

Friendly people nice open place.... also was at a party. Didn't know it mattered so much to folks. But therw where women and people from many races there. Had a very enjoyable time.

Monique Marion

Very nice an clean an spacious

Jeffrey P Richards

Outstanding group!

Gene Coon

Attended another great Exchange Club of Charleston meeting at the Charleston Rifle Club.

Karen Miller

Fun place to be

Lisa Berry

Good times, good people!

Stephen Jameson

I was impressed with the facility

David H

A whites-only private club. More virulent racism from the South, how shocking.

leonardv2

Never support a club that supports racism. I would have given 0 stars if I could. In 2018 we are still dealing with horrible racist people. We should find out who were the people that decided to not vote Dr. Melvin Brown in. Internet justice will prevail. With his background and current state, he should have been accepted. Such a shame.
