698 King StThis is a special night out kind of place. Expensive but worth it!
Pro-tip: between 5pm-6:30pm Mon-Fri, the seafood tower is 1/2 price! We like to sit at the bar, order a glass of champagne and enjoy the seafood tower. Roll like a baller but save your dough!

The tavern burger is a A MUST! It's been named the #1 burger in America! Cute atmosphere. I think it's more of a lunch spot.

If carriage tours are your thing, this is my favorite company. They take amazing care of the mules (not horses.) They have an in-house vet and the mules rotate between downtown and a farm in Johns Island. A carriage tour or walking tour is a great way to learn about Charleston and get a lay of the land. I recommend doing it in the beginning of your trip so you can go back and explore things you like more later.
