How do you get into Skull Tavern?
We have not confirmed it. Skull Tavern is in the directory because it calls itself a speakeasy, and that is the whole of what we can stand behind about its door.
The drinks at Skull Tavern
How the venue describes itself: “Foursquare is the industry-leading geospatial intelligence platform. Power your business with 100M+ POIs, foot traffic data, and location-based solutions for marketers, developers, and analysts.” (from its own website, retrieved 9 October 2026)
Beyond what the venue publishes we have not verified a list, so what follows is the period rather than the bar: Jack Rose, Diamondback, and Brown Derby are all drinks of this era, and each links to its origin and its build.

Prohibition in South Carolina
South Carolina did not wait for the federal government. Statewide prohibition took effect here in 1915, five years before the Eighteenth Amendment came into force nationally on 17 January 1920. By the time the Volstead Act was being enforced across the country, South Carolina already had an established illegal trade and the habits that went with it.
