There are plenty of oyster bars in Charleston, but Pearlz is one of our favorites because it’s centrally located and they have a great Happy Hour. Located in the middle of the French Quarter, this is where to go when you want a dozen oysters, a beer, and a break from activities. Also, on weeknights from 4-7pm, Pearlz serves $1 oysters, $3 champagne, and $4 oyster shooters, which might be our favorite trio in town.
Leon’s Oyster Shop in the West Side serves fried chicken, frozen and draft cocktails, soft serve, and yes, really good chargrilled oysters.
The Obstinate Daughter is where we go on Sullivan’s Island for pizza, pasta, and shrimp rolls before or after a trip to the beach.
The Rooftop Bar at Vendue is one of the more low-key rooftop bars in town and is a great place to escape the crowded French Quarter.
Slightly North of Broad (SNOB) in the French Quarter serves Lowcountry dishes and local seafood and has a lively bar that’s very popular with locals.
The Cocktail Club is where we go on Upper King for really good cocktails, the occasional live show, and a great rooftop terrace.
Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit on King Street serves their famous biscuits and custom sandwiches all-day long, including until 2am on the weekends.
