Things To Do
Post House
A coastal tavern and inn located in Mount Pleasant, offering seasonal fare, classic cocktails, seven cozy hotel rooms and a bit of salty air. This is one of our Mt. Pleasant favorites! This restaurant is right down the street from the church and we love their brunch and dinner.
Leon's Oyster Shop
A Charleston favorite, you wont want to miss! They do fried chicken, oysters, kick ass salads, cheap beer, soft serve, rosé on tap, frozen G&T’s, tons of grower champagne, and decent cocktails – all in an old garage.
Lewis Barbecue Charleston
If you want a filling lunch before the wedding, we recommend going to Lewis BBQ. The first thing you’ll notice when you pull up to Lewis Barbecue are the massive, custom-made smokers, welded by the pitmaster himself. Inside you’ll order at the counter, where John Lewis is slicing up true Central Texas barbecue, cut-to-order. They also have a huge bar and backyard patio to keep you entertained year-round. This is a Craig Family favorite!
Poe's Tavern
We went here on our first date! Needless to say, we love it here! Check it out if you are spending time on Sullivan's Island. They specialize in ground in-house hamburgers, fish tacos, sandwiches, salads- and don't forget the beer!
Melfi's
Melfi’s is a grown-up, clubby, classic Italian restaurant in downtown Charleston with fresh pasta, salads, larger plates, and Roman-ish thin crust pizza. A fabulous dinner spot, and a Craig Family favorite!
167 Raw Oyster Bar/Bin 152
Another one of our favorite date night spots! For wonderful seafood, we recommend visiting 167 Raw for lunch or dinner. If there is a long wait, pop over to Bin 152 for a glass of wine! They offer many wines by the glass, plus cheese & charcuterie, in an art-adorned, rustic-cool space.
Brown Fox Coffee
If you are in Mt. Pleasant and in need of some caffeine, Brown Fox is the place to go!
Harken Cafe
Nestled on quiet Queen Street, and around the corner from The Gibbes, this petite hideaway serves up sweet treats, succulent salads, heavenly sips and a unique take on the traditional biscuit.
Daps Breakfast & Imbibe
Great spot for to-go coffee or a quick breakfast! A great Sunday spot before you get on the road!
WELTONS TINY BAKESHOP
This Tiny Bakeshop is located at 682 King Street with the vision of supplying naturally leavened, seasonally inspired, and European influenced sweet treats to the community here in Charleston.
The Living Room/The Citrus Club at The Dewberry
Experience the gracious hospitality and effortless style of a true Charleston living room. Outfitted with mid-century furnishings, a curated reading library and a showstopping brass bar, The Living Room is a warm and welcoming destination for afternoon cocktails or an evening aperitif. If the weather is nice, head upstairs to The Citrus Club for wonderful rooftop views of the city and delicious drinks.
Blind Tiger Pub
One of our favorite places to grab a drink downtown Charleston! Upscale bar food in an alehouse dating back to 1803, featuring a charming, brick-walled courtyard.
Charleston City Market
One of the nation's oldest public markets and the cultural heart of Charleston. This market is home to more than 300 vibrant entrepreneurs, and is open every day of the year except Christmas!
Sullivan's Island
If the weather is nice, check out Sullivans Island. Take a walk on the beach or pop into Home Team for an Irish Coffee or Game Changer!
Hampton Park
Hampton Park is a public park located in peninsular Charleston. At 60 acres, it is the largest park on the peninsula. It is bordered by The Citadel to the west. Brandon spent a lot of time here when he was at The Citadel and now we love to go on walks here.
White Point Garden
White Point Garden is located in the heart of the historic district downtown. This park provides beautiful views of Fort Sumter and of the Charleston Harbor. The park features lots of grass space, shaded by beautiful old oak trees. The park has a gazebo in the center and features a rich display of history, including an impressive display of Civil War cannons, and several monuments and statues.
Pitt Street Bridge
Once a trolley bridge that connected Sullivan's Island and Mount Pleasant, the Pitt Street Bridge is now a scenic public park for recreation and relaxation.
King Street
If you feel like shopping, walk down King Street and pop into some of our favorite stores, including M. Dumas & Sons!
