Downtown Options
Downtown (Market): Even though this restaurant is on the first floor of the Emeline hotel, it could easily stand alone and be one of the best patios in Charleston! The courtyard patio has an outdoor fire place as the perfect setting for their comfort food and cocktails! We love the cocktail named "Tear down this wall." They also have a fun happy hour! Local secret: fresh limoncello shots are given out at 8PM at the bar :)

Downtown (Cannonborough) : If you love something that is eclectic, out of the box, and spicy- head over to this amazing Asian experience! XBB offers exciting dishes from all over the map, and it is adored by locals and very hip. They definitely operate with a cool, relaxed vibe, so if you want speedy customer service this might not be for you. Would not recommend for families! All of the flavors are for adult palates :)

Downtown (Upper King): Charleston locals are obsessed with this food-truck to brick and mortar success! The garlic chili noodles are their famous specialty. Interiors are absolutely beautiful. It is a small space that utilizes counter service so not great for a big group.

The Meeting Street establishment offers butter chicken, lamb samosas, biryani, and nalli nihari in a hip and vibrant dining room. The music is loud and the cocktails are unique (each drink can be made without alcohol or with the addition of Delta-9 THC). It’s an experience like none other in Charleston right now.

This is a warm and cozy natural wine bar in a restored Charleston single house! Occasional small plates available but ultimately all about the drinks. Where the cool kids hang!
