Things To Do
King Street Shopping
Middle King, from Market to Calhoun, is the King Street Fashion District. Accurately named for its mix of charming locally-owned fashion boutiques and well-known national brand shops. With some of Charleston's trendiest stores, Middle King was named one of the country's "10 Top Shopping Districts in the USA" by Forbes Traveler.
Isle of Palms Beach
Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway just 12 miles from historic Charleston, is the beautiful Isle of Palms Beach.
Sullivans Island Beach
Sullivan’s Island is a two and a half-mile long barrier island near the entrance of the Charleston Harbor. This is known by many to be the local's favorite beach and is home to many unique restaurants including Poe's Tavern and The Obstinate Daughter.
Kudu Coffee and Craft Beer
Whether you are looking for a coffee, beer, or both in downtown Charleston this is the spot. Kudu Coffee also has great breakfast snacks and lunchtime sandwiches.
Bin 152 Wine Bar
Bin 152 is Charleston's oldest and arguably most respected wine bar. In addition to wine they have cheeses and charcuterie all served a la carte with freshly baked bread. However, it is the great atmosphere and friendly bartenders that make this a truly special experience.
Lewis Barbecue
We apologize to Rodney Scott and Home Team BBQ, but Lewis Barbeque is the best Barbeque experience in Charleston.
The Obstinate Daughter
The Obstinate Daughter is a Southern restaurant that is influenced by French, Italian, and Spanish cuisine with a wood-fired oven. You cannot go wrong with any meal, but the Obstinate Daughter brunch is our favorite in all of Charleston.
Oak Steakhouse
Many of you will think Halls Chophouse for steak in Charleston and you cannot go wrong here. However, after an amazing New Year's Eve experience at Oak, this is our favorite Charleston Steakhouse.
Melfi's
Melfi’s is a classic Italian restaurant in downtown Charleston with fresh pasta, salads, larger plates, and Roman-ish thin crust pizza. This is our favorite Italian food in Charleston and the picturesque atmosphere does not hurt either.
Husk
Husk is located in historic Charleston and is our favorite traditional Southern cuisine. It is difficult to find a reservation, but if you get the chance to try the daily changing menu at Husk you will not be disappointed.
Pearlz Oyster Bar
Oysters are plentiful in Charleston and you cannot go wrong with anywhere, but there has to be a favorite. Pearlz Oyster Bar is home to our favorite Oysters in Charleston. Pearlz has a very laid back atmosphere, great happy hour, and is even a great place to do an oyster shooter.
167 Raw
167 Raw is a New England style Oyster Bar in the heart of historic downtown Charleston, SC. Their menu highlights the outstanding seafood mecca that is the East Coast, spanning from New Brunswick, Canada to local waters in Charleston and beyond. This is arguably the best seafood in Charleston, but it comes at a cost. 167 Raw is very popular and does not take reservations so be prepared to arrive early or wait in line.
