Food Scene
I love to support our local farmers and the food here is amazing. My favorite restaurant and where I eat the most. Their brunch on Sundays is very popular. It's located adjacent to The Charleston Pour House.

They have a great dinner menu, but I mostly go here for late night food or to watch football on the TVs. Great bartenders and beer selection!

Tradesman Brewing Company
1647 King Street ExtensionDrinks & Nightlife
I bought my house to be close to this music venue. THE BEST in Charleston and sought after as a place to play by bands throughout the country. Free live music on the outside deck stage daily, rain or shine (partially covered bar). This is where the locals hang and tourists make Charleston a destination for shows here. The Lot next door is an amazing restaurant and there is also a Cuban food truck if you are looking for budget friendly options.
Great beer and spirits selection!
