The best restaurant in Charleston in our opinion. No reservations, small menu, spicy. Try the okonomiyaki with pork candy and anything with shishito peppers.

Our favorite spot on Folly Beach, they do awesome acai bowls in the mornings, and have a very small eclectic menu for the evenings (Goat Curry, what?!) Also they always have a great beer selection.

Always a lot to do here. Local craftsmen come out every Sunday for a farmers market, also several food trucks (Brava Bowls and Dashi are our faves), plus an outdoor bar slinging local brews while a band plays on the open stage. If all of this is too much hustle & bustle, then there is an upscale brunch spot (The Lot) on premises.

This area represents a collection of small restaurants and bars that each specialize in something different. You can spend a whole day here easily. Try Triangle Char and Bar for brunch, Al Di La for a romantic dinner, Mellow Mushroom for great pizza and beer, Pearlz for fresh seafood and local oysters when they are in season, and Voodoo for great mixed drinks, live music and nightlife (look up their monthly "full moon" parties; bodypainting and general shenanigans). Across the street, there is a sports bar (The Roost), intimate brewpub (Oak Barrel Tavern), a wine and cheese shop (Avondale Wine and Cheese), and old-school German brewpub (Gene's Haufbrau), and probably the best CHS brewery.

On the Guy Fieri circuit, this is a great little spot. Their duck club and duck fat fries are simply amazing, they always have a large selection of local brews, and there is generally some live music or wacky event such as inflatable water slides or human slingshot. Part of the premise is that visitors get to "decorate" so feel free to leave your message somewhere on the bar top, walls, or even the furniture.

Eclectic bartenders slinging fancy cocktails and the best moscow mules in the area in a small, intimately lit Irish atmosphere. Downtown quality at West Ashley prices. They have a "wee kitchen" making small plates of Irish staples such as boxtys and Shepherd's Pie. Highly recommended; we guarantee that Jerry the bartender will make you one of the best cocktails that you have ever had after you give him your preferences (and some leeway!). They also have live music and a great back patio with firepits, come chill!

One of our favorite breweries, they are making some great beers right now. Will generally be a food truck on premises as well, great place to take a quick stop when coming from or going to one of our local beaches.

Best beach in the area. $10/$15 admission but it is well worth it to get away from the loud crows at the other local beaches, especially during tourist season. Read more about this beach online, it is very highly regarded. Awesome tide pools form quite frequently, the pristine white sand stretches for miles.

The "party" beach, heavy volume of people, but also a lot of great little restaurants and shops, and a LOT to do. You will have a great time here.
