👍👍 Great little place, reminiscent of one-offs in cosmopolitan neighborhood bars in DC or Miami. Excellent happy hour that I wish had never ended. The ambience will take you back to your hometown haunt, wherever that may be. Such a gem in Charleston!

Uncork Charleston
Restaurant
👍👍 This was our first time visiting Uncork. Took my wife here for her birthday. They surprised her with a card and complimentary glass of champagne. The vibe was very nice and the self-serve wine bar concept was different in a good way. We had the meatballs and stuffed mushrooms which were both excel...

Last Saint
Bar
👍👍 Cool speakeasy vibe and a great selection of craft cocktails. We like the concept of having to knock/ring the bell on the back door before being able to enter the back room. There are only a few tables and bar stools so we typically will make a late night reservation here if we know it's where we...

Cocktail bar
👍👍 My date and I were searching for the best rooftop spot in all of Charleston. The view was incredible, we think it's the best view in the city! The service was a bit slow for the first few minutes, but they were extremely busy. Once our server greeted us, the evening had a great vibe and pace. We tri...

Port of Call - Food & Brew
Restaurant
😐 We had high hopes for this food hall and we were disappointed. On the website, it listed 6 different food places to choose from but only 3 of them were open when we went on a busy Saturday afternoon. The outdoor patio seating is nice but the picnic tables are old and shaky and the live performer wa...

The Living Room at The Dewberry
Cocktail bar
😠 I had a really bad experience here. It took almost a half hours to get orders, and maybe another 45 minutes to get our food. Something about the kitchen in the back of the building or something. Then another 30 minutes to get the check. I had the Vietnamese crepes, which were tasty, but they weren'...

Southern restaurant (US)
👍👍 Top notch service and excellent fried chicken! Family friendly restaurant but also good for groups and dates. Location is convenient to the historic district and very walkable. We tried the warm seafood dip. It was heavy on the cream cheese and a little light on the seafood in my opinion. I order...
