Poogan's Smokehouse

Charleston’s French Quarter has its share of legends, and Poogan’s Smokehouse is proud to be part of the story. We share our roots with Poogan’s Porch, a beloved Charleston landmark that first opened in 1976, where a stray dog named Poogan greeted guests at the door and stories of friendly spirits became part of the charm. At Poogan’s Smokehouse, we kept the hospitality, traded the haunted history for some hearty smoke, and built a menu around slow-smoked barbecue, satisfying Southern sides, and our house-famous ribs.
Since opening in 2015, we've also earned a reputation for our extensive bourbon and whiskey list, complete with curated flights perfect for sipping and savoring. Whether you're craving a plate piled high with barbecue or a drink worth lingering over, Poogan’s Smokehouse is where good food and great company come together.
