Oslo’s

We were in Charew and wanted to get a bite and a drink. The motel clerk recommended Oslo’s as being the place that could provide both.
Oslo’s sits on the side of the highway that runs through this part of South Carolina. It has a pretty big parking are on either side, and there was a fair number of cars. Wednesday night is their pool tournament night. Plus, from the look of the crowd, I’m thinking it might be the locals favorite hangout. The place was packed. Families to seniors, there was a good cross section of the local poplace having dinner or enjoying a beer.
The staff were pleasant and friendly, but a bit taken back that 3 Californians had found their way into this part of the world. They have a full bar, and we put it to use. The chicken wings were big and nicely done, crisp and crunchy on the outside and tender and juicy inside. We also enjoyed an order of the fried onions.
For dinner, I had the hamburger steak smothered ing mushrooms, onions and green peppers with a baked potato. My wife had the broiled Cajun shrimp plate with very good garlic mashed potatoes. Our pal had the Mexican burger… it had plenty of jalapeño rings, but they forgot the tomato and lettuce!!! But he still enjoyed it.
All in all, I would say Oslo’s offers an excellent slice of Americana. The menu is solid, the beers cold and they have 2 pool tables.

Small bar atmosphere. They have good food. The prices are very reasonable and they have a daily special. They have pool tables, tournaments, and karaōke some nights. Very cool place.

Oslo’s is one of the only bars in Cheraw, but I was pleasantly surprised with it. It was the night before a friend’s wedding (Cheraw is his wife’s hometown), & six of us sat around an island-​like counter in the middle of the bar drinking Yuenglings & reminiscing. The music was mostly hip hop & club hits, but the volume was kept to a comfortable level.
Lots of variety in terms of available bottled beer, & a crowd that was diverse & friendly, even if they were all chain smoking. I only spotted one camo hat with a fish hook on the rim, unfortunately.
One point: I’m not sure why this place is called Oslo’s. There was absolutely nothing even vaguely Norwegian-​seeming about it.
