You're going here anyways, but it's pretty fun during the day too. No flip flops.
Our first date. Well made cocktails, great food, easy atmosphere. We love Bar George and also hate it. We even got matching tattoos about a bad experience we had there once..... but still whole heartedly recommend it. Get the Peruvian Chicken (Top 3 dish in this city) and the donuts (some of the best you'll have). No flip flops.
"Tapas" restaurant (it serves 'pinxtos' technically but that's a whole other discussion). It's a bit hipster but really good, Spanish food. Take the risk: order a 'porron' of cider or rose (you'll see). No flip flops.
A breakfast staple of ours, just good classic breakfast food. No flip flops.
Craft cocktail bar. It was our second date (if you know what I mean....) No flip flops.
Good breakfast food, run by hipsters. No flip flops.
Our newest favorite, small quiet wine bar. No flip flops.
Our other newest favorite- It is a bit pricy but world class cocktails and food/bar snacks. No flip flops.
Okay, so you have to get there probably before 11:30 (when he is out, he is out) but it's one guy (Craig) who just makes amazing sandwiches (260 a day) and is only open when he is open-- usually Wednesday to Saturday but check his Instagram. No flip flops.
McVay helps run this but truly awesome sandwiches (they are huge and there is no seating, more "order and go"). No flip flops.
This is the only Taco Bell in Charleston that is consistently open. Flip flops allowed.
Pretty good bagels. Looks like you're at the DMV in a post-apocalypse movie. No flip flops.
Friend's of ours and some of the best coffee in Charleston. Small, family owned, good to their employees, great coffee. No flip flops.
An antique mall that we regularly visit (we found your postcard invitations there!), anywhere from classic antiques to fun vintage finds. Not too pricy overall. No flip flops.
Hidden gem inside a small brewery outside of downtown. Fantastic Filipino/Asian food. No flip flops.
The best ice cream you will have in this city. So good we even recommend their vegan flavors because you probably can't tell the difference. Also local and family owned. No flip flops.
Open a few days a week for lunch, very simple. Chicken or steak burritos, pressed, red or green salsa. Awesome and simple. Uncle Matty (Trace's brother) is a douchebag friend of Johanna's and McVay. No flip flops.
This is kind of on here as a joke... but it is kind of awesome. Fire trucks since the 1800s, cool simple museum. We don't actually care about fire trucks that much, don't take this the wrong way. No flip flops. This is closed now but Johanna is too sad to take it off the website. RIP
McVay thinks they are fancy apartments. They are not. Very cool park/historic site/zoo kind of thing. No flip flops.
Small craft boutique store for paper goods, pens, stationary, etc. Local, small business. No flip flops.
Johanna used to run this place. It's probably not as good now. But if you like candles you should go. No flip flops.
Just go on a walk here. It's so beautiful. No flip flops.
It's not so much about Paddock and Whiskey but more about "Sushi Ninja" the sushi pop up located inside of it Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. Simple rolls, fun rolls, great sashimi. It is just one dude who loves sushi, making great sushi. It happens to be inside of a Whiskey bar with a very extensive bourbon selection if that is your thing. No flip flops.
It is tiny, it is cute and it is the truly one of the best bakeshops. There is always a (short) line, limited seating but worth a stop while checking out the city. No flip flops.
Charleston's only underground bar, it has a speakeasy feel with French driven cocktails. It is dark, fun with a great "cave" vibe. The entrance is hard to find (just ask the restaurant on the corner above them) and they do serve food (from that restaurant, but you have to ask). No flip flops.
