Red Bone Alley

Red Bone Alley Work Hard, Play Hard, Eat Good. Head to our website to order online or stop in for some good eats! He imagined opening a place of his own. A sports bar and grill.

Dale Barth understood at an early age what makes a restaurant great. While studying biology at the College of Charleston, Barth waited tables and worked as a bartender and cook. A dream restaurant with good, fresh, and innovative cooking. Attentive and friendly service. An atmosphere that would offer diners an escape from the everyday. Quality food and wine for adults. A fun place to be for kids.

Years later, when a former J.C. Penney department store space became vacant at the Florence Mall in 1992, Barth seized the opportunity to make his dream a reality. After an extensive market analysis combined with a capital investment of $1 million, Barth hired a builder to tear off the roof and add another story. The massive height and open space offered the perfect foundation for recreating the outdoor cafe experience of Charleston. A steel two-story facade was then designed and built to flank and overlook the streetscape meandering throughout the space. The result was dramatic -- very much like a theatrical set. A two-story high space with an open atrium. A back porch with glowing lanterns. A children's area with patio seating next to an old ice cream truck. An upstairs balcony overlooking the alley. Lowcountry landscape murals painted by Charleston artist David Boatwright. All in all, a little something for everyone. In 1993, Barth's dream became a reality with the opening of the first Red Bone Alley Restaurant & Bar in Florence, SC. The restaurant took off. Lines formed and critics ate it up. The restaurant immediately realized a profit and a complete return on investment in just sixty months. Named after Barth's daughter's redbone coonhound, each restaurant offers an extensive bar, live entertainment and a clothing line featuring the Red Bone Alley hound. The food is fresh and innovative South Carolina regional cuisine. Closely tied to the land, sea, and rivers that abound in the region, South Carolina's cuisine is influenced by hundreds of years of French, Mediterranean, African, English and West Indian cooking. Dedicated to offering his customers the freshest food possible, Barth and his staff start every day early by gathering the day's ingredients -- produce bought directly from local farmers, honey gathered by South Carolinian beekeepers, Darlington County rice, freshly caught Atlantic seafood, and the highest quality aged Western beef flown in daily.

Get your tickets NOW! This is one of our favorite weekend events of the year and we are honored to be invited back! Let’s gooooo!! Florence Wine And Food

So proud to welcome back Brandon Collins and JJ Leonard who took over one of P*e Dee’s largest and most iconic restaurants in July of 2024. Red Bone Alley has been a staple in the Florence area for over 30 years, and Brandon and JJ wanted to keep Dale Barth’s vision alive and well while growing more than ever and putting their own flare on it. 🔥

JJ grew up in Hawaii and moved to the mainland at the age of 18 to pursue his dreams of music. When he finally made his way to Florence SC, he met his wife Lauren, and they have since had two beautiful daughters Penny and Callie. JJ worked back of house for some years in the Hartsville area, then moved over to Food Sales for 10 years prior to taking over ownership of Redbone and has a strong passion for people and food.
Brandon worked at Redbone in the early 2000’s where he developed a large interest in the Hospitality business and a great relationship with Dale. Brandon moved to Charleston to manage a couple concepts under GlowFisch Hospitality Group after leaving Redbone, where he and his wife Katherine married and had their son Lawson. When his family moved back to Florence, he began working in Food Sales, which allowed him and JJ’s paths to cross.
They are both highly motivated to keep Redbone Alley a staple of Florence and bring new and innovative ideas to such a special venue. Together, they hope to continue the tradition of providing delicious, southern-inspired cuisine to the community of Florence for years to come and help take the local restaurant scene to another level! We are so grateful they are part of this festival & the food scene in
