Things To Do
Leon's
A must! Get the smoked mahi dip and char-grilled oysters.
Post House
One of our favorites - right across the bridge in Mount Pleasant.
The Ordinary
Upscale seafood in a 1920's bank.
Delaney Oyster House
Get the blue crab rice and a shattered martini. The restaurant is in a cute, restored home on Calhoun.
Husk
Upscale Southern cuisine in a restored Victorian-era home. You can also grab a drink at Husk Bar (separate from the restaurant).
Home Team BBQ
Get the dry rub wings with Alabama white sauce.
Chubby Fish
A favorite seafood spot for locals - come early (~5pm) and put your name in for a table (no reservations; walk-ins only). Very small and quaint!
The Obstinate Daughter
On Sullivan's Island - 25 min drive from downtown, so plan ahead. Go for a stroll on the beach to burn off the pizza!
82 Queen
Classic Charleston dining. Come here for the She Crab soup, fried green tomatoes, and shrimp and grits.
Felix Cocktails et Cuisine
Great spot to post up for cocktails and bites.
Millers All Day
Classic breakfast spot. Pro tip: sit at the bar to avoid the wait.
Revelry Brewing Co
One of our favorites on the Charleston brewery scene. Good rooftop.
Edmund's Oast Brewing Co.
Great brewery, surprisingly good margaritas, and in a fun courtyard. Hit up nearby Rancho Lewis for Mexican food.
The Watch Rooftop Kitchen and Spirits
The rooftop at the Restoration Hotel. Great views of downtown Charleston.
FIG
The burnt eggplant + cottage cheese appetizer is very good - trust us!
Local Attractions:
Charleston is a walking town! Make sure to take some time to walk around and explore South of Broad. Church Street and Legare Street are 2 of our favorites. Other fun attractions: Rainbow Row, the Battery, Waterfront Park (look for the pineapple fountain), the Huguenot Church (one of many pretty churches in the Holy City), and Colonial Lake if you're looking for a spot to run/walk. Don’t forget to snap a photo on Prioleau Street!
