To get there, take a leisurely walk from downtown or hop on a pedicab. For parking, there are garages nearby or street parking if you arrive early.

Charleston Culinary Tours
If you're a foodie who likes efficiency, we recommend a culinary tour! We have personally done this tour and really enjoyed it. However, there are a number of other tour and history options to explore downtown as well.
Edmund's Oast Brewing Co.
Stop by one of our favorite breweries in Charleston while you're here! If you're a sour fan, this spot is for you. But don't worry, their options are not limited!
Revelry Brewing Co.
Revelry is one of our go-to breweries in Charleston. We love the laid-back vibe and hanging out on the brewery's rooftop, especially during sunset. Be sure to check out Palmetto Brewing Co. nearby on Huber street as well!
