little jack’s tavern

The best burger in town, plus delightful salads + great Irish coffees — talk about a vibe! Little Jack’s is a laid-back, casual tavern located on King Street (near Leon’s Oyster Shop and Melfi’s), which makes it an easy walk to some of our favorite wine bars (pro tip: grab a drink at Graft Wine Shop before or after your meal). This moody spot is open seven days a week for both lunch and dinner; if the weather has you in the mood for an outdoor drink, we’re obsessed with the Instagrammable vibes of Jack’s side patio. Make sure you get an order of crudité (it’s Randi’s absolute favorite appetizer in town) before trying the world-famous Tavern Burger. Little Jack’s offers ample space for large parties in their back room, but make sure to grab a Resy if you have up to 8, or email events@leonsoystershop.com if you have more than 8 people.

Charleston has a few tour groups, but Bulldog Tours is by far our favorite because of how diverse their tours are. Choose from a classic historic tour, ghost walk, and even a food tour of the city!

UASHMAMA has got to be one of the coolest bouqties on King! They sell items ranging from totes and toiletry bags to backpacks and notebooks…but they’re made out of washable paper.

Take the guesswork out of your transportation with Coastal Limo! They’ll scoop you up at the airport + take you downtown, get you to Folly Beach on a Saturday morning, and even drive you home from Upper King late on a Friday night.

Uptown Social

Uptown Social is full of energy and is the perfect place to go for day drinking or dancing under the stars to a number of amazing DJs! This is an upscale sports bar that offers delicious bar snacks and fun frozen drinks, which you can enjoy on the rooftop or their spacious two-story inside venue. Uptown even hosts local exercise classes from time to time, so you can work off all of those pizza bites you ate the night before. I love coming here and watching a game or dancing my heart out (since you might as well be exercising while you drink). Definitely worth a visit and has a big, fun crowd late in the evening.

587 King St | website | instagram

The satellite BAR @ STARS

This might be a hot take according to some locals, but I love Stars. Some of my best Charleston memories have been made on a Sunday Funday after brunch, lounging at Stars & drinking mimosas like it’s my job (which it is, because research). In the evenings, they’ve got a legit happy hour, & it gets rowdy after dark — perfect for those of you who are ready to hit it hard for your weekend of celebration.

The rooftop bar @ The vendue

Breathtaking views in every direction, yummy snacks, and phenomenal cocktails — what’s not to like?! This rooftop bar is at the top of our list. If you’re looking for a fun, upscale place to go before dinner, then the Rooftop Bar at the Vendue is the place for you! They have a multi-level layout that appeals to all parties: music on the main floor, a quiet scene at the top, and skyline views from all around.

19 Vendue Range | website | instagram

Pour Taproom

Pour taproom has a unique system of ‘pay for what you pour.’ Basically you pour yourself however much of whatever you want and you pay for exactly that. No more buying another beer and only wanting half of it! This is perfect if like trying different varieties of beer (they have 40 local craft beers, wines, and ciders to choose from). Order a plate of nachos for the table and take in views of Chucktown’s highest rooftop bar! You can find Pour Taproom located on top of Hyatt Place Charleston right on King Street. Play games, pet some ‘Pour Pups’ and enjoy the view!

560 King St | website | instagram

The Citrus club

Another one of the best views in Charleston can be seen from the rooftop of The Dewberry, which is where The Citrus Club can be found! Head over to the elevators, where a member of The Dewberry will provide a key to access the 8th floor. You’ll notice a Spritz or spicy coconut marg in everyones hands while they admire the views on a comfy sofa. The rooftop also offers some tasty bites, like loaded fries, hummus, lobster rolls, burgers, etc. The Citrus Club operates on a first come, first served basis, so head over there early!

334 Meeting St | website | instagram

market pavilion rooftop bar

One of Charleston’s most upscale rooftops can be found at the Market Pavilion Hotel. With historic and jaw-dropping views of the city and a cascading pool, all you need is a drink in your hand and good company! The checkered floors, doormen, and twinkly umbrella lights make this bar a go-to for late night ‘tinis (the hotel puts plexiglass over the pool when the sun goes down)!

225 E Bay St | website | instagram

Little Palm Bar & RESTAURANT

Little Palm is the ideal bar for any bachelorette party or girls weekend! Little Palm is located inside the Ryder Hotel, a fairly new chic and boutique spot downtown.

Little Palm is open for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night snacks.

237 Meeting St | website | instagram

GRAFT wine shop

Located a bit further up King Street near some of our favorite restaurants (Leon’s & Little Jack’s, ahem), Graft is a spacious, hip wine shop perfect for grabbing a few bottles to go or staying for a glass or two. A favorite for a low-key night out, Graft offers small bites, unique wines, & a great vibe for your first night in town or a quick drink before the airport on Sunday afternoon.

CALLIE’S HOT LITTLE BISCUIT

Charleston has been blessed with not one, but two Callie’s HLB locations, one on Upper King (this will be closer to your Airbnb) & another on Market Street in case you need a biscuit sandwich during your walking tour of Charleston. We can’t speak highly enough of this female-founded eatery — the biscuits come in a huge variety & our pro-tip is to get a few of the minis rather than being forced to commit to just one flavor. Get a box delivered to your Airbnb for at-home brunch or a midnight snack, bring a box on your charter boat, or just grab a few while you’re walking down King — you won’t regret it.

476.5 King Street or 188 Meeting Street | website

sugar bakeshop

Hands down the cutest bakeshop in Charleston! Sugar is a small batch made from scratch bakeshop, so when a flavor is sold out then that’s it for the day. They have everything from cookies to cupcakes (even gluten free and vegan options). Sugar has year round flavors, but switches things up with a few specialty seasonal treats! You’ll see different options every time you stop in. If you see something you love, but have an idea for a twist, Sugar can do custom-made orders as well. Sugar does carry mini cakes, which we think are just the cutest things! They’d be perfect for a party or if you’re just in the mood for a teeny tiny treat. Our fave treat? Well, we’re torn between the vanilla blueberry and caramel cupcake, so you should probably order both…just to be safe.

59 1/2 Cannon St. | website | instagram

Clerks Coffee Company

Clerk’s is located inside one of Charleston’s newest and chicest hotels downtown, Hotel Emeline. Honestly the vibes in this coffee shop are immaculate. It’s the perfect place for a breakfast date or to catch up on emails. If you’re doing some shopping at The Market and need a little pep in your step, order Clerk’s online and pop right in to avoid a potential line. Once you’re done with your coffee or kombucha be sure to go next door and check out the hotel’s lobby.

181 Church St. | website | instagram

Harken cafe

A cozy establishment with country-chic vibes. Harken has both indoor and outdoor seating, but it’s a pretty popular spot these days, so we do suggest getting there early! Located not too far from King St, Harken is a great mid-day break between shops. Unplug in one of Harken’s nooks over avocado toast or a southern biscuit, which are all made from the finest low country ingredients.

62 Queen St. | website | instagram

the daily

Now with two locations, The Daily is our absolute favorite! Both locations offer a wide selection of locally made items to showcase the talent in the South. At the Daily, you’ll find healthy juices, strong coffee, breakfast toasts, fresh bread and eggs, plus pastries, smoothies, wine, and snacks to go. Pop into the King St location for a quick snack (there’s not a ton of seating), then wander down King Street. If you’re in a hurry or heading to the airport, use their order-ahead feature — you won’t be disappointed! If you’re not in a rush, enjoy your avocado toast and iced coffee at one of their outdoor tables.

652 King Street | website | instagram

huriyali gardens

If you’re in the mood to sip on a smoothie in a garden, Huriyali is your spot! Known for their acai bowls, smoothies, and juices, Huriyali is a great spot to get some healthy options before a day of drinking on King Street. Make sure to go out back to their garden seating!

401 Huger Street | website | instagram

carmella’s cafe & dessert bar

Coffee, cake, ice cream and alcohol, what more could a person need!? Stop by in the afternoon for a sweet treat by The Market or grab a little night-cap espresso martini because Carmella’s is open until midnight! Carmella’s offers all the things when it comes to sweets. Most of their desserts are pretty large, so we recommend getting a few and everyone sharing. This way, everyone gets to try a little bit of this and that! Carmella’s is widely known for their petite cakes, so make sure to grab one of those.

park + grove

Park + Grove - One of Charleston’s best top spots to try! Park + Grove is great for a quick happy hour, late night bites, or even Sunday brunch. They offer reservations, which we recommend taking advantage of. This restaurant does change it’s menu seasonly, which means that the food is constantly changing with new and fresh picks!

730 Rutledge Ave | website | instagram

hall’s chophouse

Hall’s is known for the upscale fine dining experience that they provide to their guests and for being the steakhouse in Charleston. Heads up: the menu can be a bit pricey, but the dishes are truly to die for and Halls’ ambiance is next-level. If it’s your first time at the steakhouse, a server will come to the table with a fancy display of steaks and explain the story behind all of them (soo VIP!). We can’t emphasize how superior the service is at Hall’s! If nothing else, head to Hall’s on Sunday for their Gospel Brunch which is always a good time!

434 King St | website | instagram

southbound

Southbound just opened their doors in 2023 and we couldn’t be more thrilled! They’re located right by all of our fave AirBnBs too, making it just a hop, skip, + jump to some delicious food and cocktails! Southbound’s menu changes daily. It’s important to note that the restaurant can only accommodate parties of 6 or less due to the intimate seating. Some call Soutbound a “wood-fire-fueled treasure”. Make a reservation ASAP to see what the buzz is all about in this vintage Charleston home-turned-restaurant!

72 Cannon St | website | instagram

the co-op frosé + eatery

The Co-Op is one of the coolest spots in all of Charleston! They’re known for their all pink branding (keep an eye out for their hot pink Moke or Jeep outside), giving off all of the fun and flirty vibes needed for a good time! Aside from frozen rosé, The Co-Op also has $1 coffee and tasty food options for breakfast or lunch.

2019 Middle St | website | instagram

the obstinate daughter

We recommend making a reservation far ahead of time at The Obstinate Daughter because of how popular it is. It’s a Southern restaurant, but influenced by French, Italian, and Spanish cuisine. You can order anything ranging from pizza and pasta to seafood with their raw bar! Check out their ‘gram when reviewing the menu because their pics are up close and personal, showing exactly what’s on the menu!

2063 Middle St | website | instagram

mex 1 coastal cantina

Grab some chips + guac before heading to the beach! Mex 1 serves light and fresh dishes with the freshest flavors.

2205 Middle St | website | instagram

Saltwater cowboys

While Saltwater isn’t right on Sullivan’s Island, its just a short drive (5 mins) away! It’s right on the water and boats are docking up to grab a bite during all hours of the day. You may even see a dolphin or two in Shem Creek if you’re sitting by the dock! You’ve got to try their trash can nachos; they’re the best and everyone can snack on them.

30 Mill St | website | instagram

Rita’s Seaside Grille

Just a walk across the street from the beach and you will find Rita’s Seaside Grille! This restaurant is owned and operated by the Halls Management Group, who has an outstanding reputation, so you know the food + service will be 10/10! They have live music on their patio, so you can enjoy some tunes while eating a burger or the infamous Halls Chopped Salad! Rita’s has a brunch on Saturdays & Sundays; however, we do recommend getting there early, because the wait for this spot can get long pretty quick!

2 Center St | website | instagram

Bohemian Bull

You’re definitely going to want to check out this spot on your way to the beach!! Bohemian Bull has some of the most creative + tasty cocktails in town. They are constantly releasing new cocktails. If there’s one thing that I would recommend as a must eat, it’s the mac & cheese bites!! Fried to perfection and served with the tastiest dipping sauce.

1531 Folly Rd | website | instagram

lost dog cafe

If you’re for a laid back beach cafe, then this is the place for you! Lost Dog Cafe is open as early as 6:30 AM for those early risers in the group.

tavern + table

Known for it’s location along Shem Creek in Mt Pleasant, Tavern and Table is the perfect spot for any size group! They have a designated room for larger parties. You just have to give them a call in advance about using it. We’re big fans of their brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. They have some of our favorite brunch cocktails and offer live music on Saturdays! Once you’re done at Tavern and Table all you have to do is take a quick stroll next door or across the creek to your next spot for a drink.

100 Church St | website | instagram

However, if your large party (13+) wants to sit at the restaurant, you can easily reserve online. Rancho Lewis will work with your group to set a customizable, prix fixe menu.

1503 King St | website | instagram

church + union

Located along Charleston’s historic market street area, Church + Union is the perfect spot for a quick drink before dinner or a great Sunday brunch spot! The inside of this restaurant is breathtaking. We recommend popping in just to see the interior decor! The building was previously a church and the restaurant repurposed the property while keeping the history in place, like the original stained glass windows and hardwood floors!

32 North Market St | website | instagram

frannie + the fox

One of our absolute favorites is Frannie & The Fox, located inside the divine Emeline Hotel in the heart of the Charleston City Markets. It’s the perfect place to stop for some delicious wood-fired Italian food after a long day of strolling through the markets and exploring the endless (no really we mean endless) shops Charleston has to offer! They have a beautiful patio area which is perfect for any group, whether you are sitting down for a full meal, or just stopping by with the girls for some drinks and snacks during their happy hour!

181 Church St | website | instagram

Home team bbq

With 4 locations in the Charleston area (downtown, Mt. Pleasant, West Ashley, and Sullivan’s Island), this is a great spot for drinks or cheering on your favorite sports team while watching a game! Each location has just a slightly different menu. Their main focus is BBQ, but the different restaurants put their twist on some of the items. Home Team is famously known for their frozen drink, the gamechanger, which is why we recommend taking an Uber!

the cocktail boys

Brunch, game night, pre-game, or pool party — have the Cocktail Boys join you to take your party over the top! The boys are here for your group to shake drinks, serve bites, or conduct games; think of it as your personal butler service, but the boys are cute + not wearing as much ;) Fun fact: I had The Cocktail Boys at my bachelorette in Scottsdale, and they totally took our pool party over the top — it turned the whole afternoon into an event, rather than a time when everyone probably would’ve gone to take naps.

American theater

You might recognize this theater from a well known movie, The Notebook. That’s right, this is the theater where Ali and Noah go on their first date!

If you’re a fan of the Notebook then we definitely suggest making a stop by the theater!

Pineapple fountain

The Pineapple Fountain is located in the center of Waterfront Park. The reason for it’s name? Because it looks exactly like a pineapple!

This is a great spot to take a walk during the warmer months and to capture a classic Charleston shot!

Corner of Murray Blvd + King St, E Battery St

Angel oak tree

The Angel Oak tree is like any other tree you’ve seen before! The tree is 400-500 years old and stands about 65 ft. high. While it is a little bit of a drive to get to this location (Johns Island), it’s a very unique spot to capture a picture. If you decide to head to the Angel Oak Tree, the Charleston Tea Garden is over there too!

cooper river (ravenel) bridge

Take in the beautiful views of all that the city has to offer and get a workout in at the same time! The Cooper River Bridge stretches across the Cooper River and connects downtown to Mt. Pleasant. The bridge is about 2.5 miles long, but has an area to sit and rest if needed! Every year, about 40K runners meet in CHS to run over this bridge in a 10K race, so it’s a pretty popular spot to get those steps in! If you’re staying downtown, head towards the Cigar Factory (parking) and you’ll see the bridge’s walk/bike lane across the street. If you’re on the other side in Mt. Pleasant, start at Mt. Pleasant Waterfront Park Playground.

magnolia plantation + gardens

Travel and Leisure named Magnolia “One of American’s Most Beautiful Gardens”! Aside from the beautiful views, Magnolia Plantation offers numerous ways to explore the property, including a botanical garden tour, zoo, plantation house tour, and even a nature tram tour. Oh, and this is also where Allie + Noah are pictured rowing in a canoe (Audubon Swamp Garden)!
