Charleston (SC) - Food and cocktail bars
Posted on 2/2/22 at 9:27 am
Posted on 2/2/22 at 9:27 am
Heading to Charleston in March for a wedding. Should have a couple free days, so looking for recommendations on restaurant and cocktail bars. Have a pretty good handle on breweries around the area.
For lunch, fine with something quick/casual (i.e. have been told plenty about soul food and BBQ - where should I be going?). At dinner, money isn't an issue, but would prefer something with a "lively" atmosphere. Currently have reservations at Husk and Maison, but not tied to it. Always love cocktail bars, so looking forward to a few ideas!

Wife and I are going at the end of March Thursday to Sunday.
From my research, here is my list for the 5 main meals:
the darling
167 raw
FIG
Prohibition
Husk
My backup lunch is 82 Queen.
My backup dinner is SNOB.

Doarbros and Proof were great cocktail bars.
Felix's was a great spot as well.
SNOB was pretty good. I wouldn't call it a lively atmosphere though.

The ordinary is my favorite Charleston restaurant

Husk was excellent. Did 167 Raw, but didn't get understand the hype. Waited way too long to get into a place way too small to eat the same raw shellfish I could get a dozen other places in that town. I enjoyed Pearlz much more than I did 167 Raw.

Whatever the name of the bar is at the top of The Dewberry is a must. Citrus Lounge maybe. Hotel is awesome. Worth the splurge.
We ate at SNOB for lunch. Really great. We ate at Peninsula Grill that evening. Really nice experience and excellent food.

Over the years there have been lots of food threads about Charleston. Can probably get some help from them.
Use to travel there regularly on business but haven't been in 4-5 years now so maybe my views are dated.
BBQ
Can highly recommend John Lewis BBQ. He's a Texas guy lost in Charleston. Texas's loss is the Lowcountry's gain. Very good joint.
Another good BBQ joint in the area is:
Swig & Swine BBQ
Few other places that are solid but void of any wow factor are:
Fleet Landing
Pearlz
Edmund's Oast (great corn bread)
Shrimp & Grits is one of Charleston's calling cards. Fleet Landing would be a good option to try this for lunch while in town.

Went a couple months back and ate at Husk and 5 Church was pretty cool.
Mostly drank and did the sight seeing

Pearlz
Delaneys' Oyster
Tu
Xao Bao Biscuit (my favorite in town)
Hall's Chop House
Paige's okra grill in Mt Pleasant (great for breakfast, low key)
Husk never does it for me. It's where all my friends' wives make sure to check in on instagram and it's not bad, but not worth the hype.

P's Okra Grill is always a solid. Not great but very consistent. The gf and I always hit it when I was in town.

From my post on a charleston thread on tOT. Got back a week ago. Things we weren't able to do that we wanted were The Ordinary, Lewis bbq, and Prohibition. Bolded items are the things I'd recommend. Best bites of the trip were the seafood and grits at Magnolias, the seared scallops at SNOB, and the chicken at Leon's.

Just got back yesterday, and we did some work down there over 4 days and 3 nights.
Food and drinks at:
- 167 Raw Bar (x2)
- The Darling - great happy hour
- SNOB
- Magnolias
- Husk
- Leon's
- Edmund's Oast
- Bay St Biergarden
- Callie's Hot Little Biscuit
Actually had fried chicken at Husk, Edmund's, and Leon's all on the same day (Leon's was the best). Had many oysters and many old fashioneds.
Had drinks at:
- Bourbon and Bubbles
- O Bar - good happy hour
- Church and Union
- Our hotel (Emeline)
Activities included:
- Carriage ride, got the South of Broad neighborhood, which was awesome
- Fort Sumter (froze our asses off)
- City Market
- Walking the city checking out the architecture, parks, waterfront, and generally just exploring
