In honor of my move in TWO days, here are some recs for people who come to visit Charleston
My favorite bars in Charleston:
The Rooftop at Vendue Inn- Downtown- a rooftop bar that overlooks historic downtown Charleston. It’s a perfect summer bar.
Raval- Downtown- Bar on upper King- there is dancing in the back of the bar on the weekends
The Brick- Downtown- It’s a hole in the wall- Live music, darts, cold beer on East Bay
Pearlz- Downtown- it’s an oyster bar on East Bay that has great happy hour specialsChai's downtown- fun place to get drinks and appetizers
Gene’s- West Ashley- a fun sports bar with shuffle board, pool, board games, etc. with a HUGE beer selection.
Voodoo- West Ashley- it’s a tiki bar with really fun drinks
Red’s Ice House- Mt. Pleasant- on the water with great views. Apparently, you can see dolphins here but I never have. They also let you bring your dogs :)
Chai's- Tapas and drinking- have a cool outdoor bar- Wednesday is reggae night!
Other bars:
Rooftop Pavilion & Hotel- Downtown- Another rooftop bar that is fancier than Vendue. FYI- No sandals for guys allowed.
Henry's – Downtown- On Market Street 5 min walk if that
Meritage – Downtown- Tapas and Wine bar on East Bay
King Street Grill- Downtown- sports bar on King St. with lots of TVs
The Kickin’ Chicken- Downtown
Blind Tiger- Downtown- On Broad
Club Trio- Downtown- If you're in the mood for dancing, go here.. On Calhoun St. close to King
Johnson's Pub- Downtown- Always live music.
Charleston Beer Works- Downtown- Upper King- lots of beer selection, pool table and shuffle board
The next two are at the recommendation of my co-worker, Bryce- his favorite bars are O'Malleys and the Silver Dollar which are both Downtown on upper King.
My favorite restaurants in Charleston:
Wasabi- Downtown- We love sushi and sake and this is definitely one of our favorite places to go. It gets really busy on the weekends and turns into a “club” after 10 but the sushi is definitely worth it. They also have hibachi in the back. Some say Tsunami is better...I care to argue.
Chai’s- Downtown- Upper King- it’s a tapas bar that has great food
Oak- Downtown- Broad Street- fancy steakhouse. Next time, I'm trying the lobster mac and cheese.
Blossoms- Downtown- East Bay- I go here for lunch a lot with work
Cypress- Downtown- East Bay- Dinner only.
Magonila’s- Downtown- East Bay- Southern
Coast- Downtown- seafood
Senor Tequila- West Ashley- it’s a typical cheap Mexican restaurant
Snapper Jacks- Folly Beach- the best he crab soup in town!
Taco Boy- Folly Beach- great tacos at the beach :)
Jestine's Kitchen- Downtown- this one is actually not one of my favorites but A LOT of people like it. It’s very traditional southern food.F
Fleet Landing- Downtown- Great view of Harbor
Basil- Downtown- Upper King- Thai Food
McCrady’s- Fine dining with great wine
Peninsula Grill- Downtown- fine dining
Charleston Grill- Downtown- fine dining
J. Paulz- James Island- FYI, Wed. is ladies night!
