Charleston SC

[JulianB1]

I’ve heard good things about Commonhouse, Rusty Bull is another new brewery on the north side of town. Edmunds Oast Exchange opened after I last visited, it’s been a couple years. Interested to hear some local recs too.

I haven't been to Commonhouse but I've been meaning to check them out.

Also, if you go to Mt. Pleasant to visit Westbrook or otherwise (and Westbrook is always worth a visit, their lager and IPA game is really on point these days), Two Blokes is a good one to check out. If you really want to tick you can also go to Ghost Monkey, but I don't particularly recommend it. House of Brews, Coleman Public House, and some other good craft beer-related destinations also make the trip to Mt.P worthwhile.

Nice, I haven’t been to Mt. P yet. Looks like there’s plenty of options to explore though. What do you think of Craft Conundrum? Sounds like they get some wild drafts.

Craft Conundrum is definitely a good one to check out. Also one of the few spots on the same general side of town as CTF.

I'll let you know if I think of anything more downtown-ish. If you're going out towards the beach (James Island/Folly Beach specifically), The Barrel is probably one of the better spots, and Bohemian Bull is also good. If you like Texas-style/brisket BBQ, be sure to check out Lewis BBQ. If you want Carolina-style pulled pork, go to Scott's BBQ. Swig & Swine is out in the same direction as CTF and has good BBQ, a solid beer taplist, and an excellent selection of bourbon if you're into that sort of thing. And there's a thousand great restaurants in Charleston generally, I couldn't even scratch the surface. Just depends on what you want.

Awesome, thanks! Lewis BBQ is on my bucket list for sure. Last time we stayed downtown a couple nights then out at Folly Beach. Probably will stay with friends in West Ashley next time, Swig & Swine is one of their local spots. My highlights were Husk, Closed For Business, Craftsmen, Revelry (beer week event), Edmund's Oast, CBX, and Rarebit chicken & waffles.

This was a good thread to stumble into. I'm going to be in Charleston next weekend. Should get there late Thursday night, I'll be free Friday, Saturday is the christening of my brother-in-law's ship but we're free otherwise, Sunday we get back on the road for Connecticut. Not much time. I got some recommendations in the vacation thread, but I realized me and my wife's family aren't as fancy as those folk. Plus, my wife and I being vegetarian is limiting.

Let me check with my buddies on vegetarian recommendations (a couple of them are and always find the best spots in the Carolinas).

Are you driving down I-95? If you feel like a pit stop in Florence at Seminar Brewing (it's my local place - about 5 minutes off the freeway, 2 hours from Charleston), let me know and I'll meet up with you if schedules allow.

Yes, we're driving down 95. Stops are essential on a long drive. I'm not really sure how the day is going to break down, but we'll definitely need to makes stops along the way.

Doing some looking into it on my own I've bookmarked Butcher and Bee, Hominy Grill, Prohibition, and The Grocery. There are options for my wife and I without being an all vegetarian menu since my wife's family are not vegetarians.

I've eaten at Butcher & Bee one time and definitely recommend it for a mixed veg/non-veg crowd. It's also right next door to Edmund's Oast which is great for some beers/cocktails/bourbon before and/or after dinner.

The Revelry is worth stopping at and thier new neighboring spot “The Hold” for sours. You can easily walk between the two locations.

Cheers

Edmunds Oast is a little fancy, but def has delicious vegetarian options. The popup kitchen at Charlestowne Fermentory often has vegetarian options, but the menu changes constantly.

I was looking at the Edmunds Oast menu, it does have vegetarian options, but while Charred Broccolini is under "plates" not "sides" it still doesn't sound like a meal.

I def got full there off veggies and cheese plates. Don’t remember any vegetarian protein though.

Mex 1 Cantina is the best for veggie options, three locations now I believe. Dellz is also good and Gnome Cafe downtown.
Sesame burger has good veggie burgers and some food trucks around town but often hard to nail them down...

Oh yea, totally forgot about Dellz.

Butcher and Bee is my kind of dining experience. Mercy.
