This was simple mix of high end with a lounge feel. The drinks were great there famous for Moscow mule with self made ginger beer . The food was fun French/American. Great place to hang out also

Amy Alexander

The food was great! I had a Caesar salad and fries . My husband got a vegan burger with fries . It didn’t come with a bun but it was still good. We both got pie . It is pricey but in my opinion worth it!

Eater

The Rarebit is a throwback bar , both in its decor and drink prices. The cocktails are bright with housemade sodas , and breakfast is served all day. Go for the drinks.

Lauren Martiello

A visiting New Yorker's opinion...: a MUST try. Hot chicken , grits and the Moscow mule rule. Great interior and a great vibe. Southern meets Brooklyn.

natalie kay

Chicken & Waffles is on point. Honey butter is so good. Mac and cheese is a great side option. If you're craving eggs , get the huevos rancheros !

Vash'Ti Walker

The atmosphere was amazing ! Great vibes !! Great music selection. Aesthetic were beautiful. Moscow Mules were my favorite. Wish they had a mimosa special. Menu options great. Flavor was ok.

Sarah

The Dark & Stormy is a delicious cocktail ! Probably one of my favorite cocktails of all time. They make their own Ginger beer and I believe the limeaid is freshly squeezed.

JL

Cocktails are incredible. Brunch is incredible. It's barely been open a month and I'm there multiple times a week. Hands down one of my new favorite places in Charleston!

Nick Shiers

Vegetable rarebit is delicious but on the small side, however if you order a side of fries after the meal comes you get a whole plate! Good food and reasonably priced.

Elizabeth Poore

Drink menu is fantastic. They have 4 different julep versions. The Moscow mule is delish, they also make a great aviator

Kiley LoCascio

Moscow mules is best I've ever had as well as the French toast . I like mine not soggy and light egg taste. This was perfect for me

Jordan M

Moscow mules and carrara marble bar ????????

Natalie

Best place for a Moscow mule ! They make their own ginger beer .

Ab

Good eats at great prices in a nice place. Service is efficient enough and their bathroom uses a simplehuman can #nerdperks

Laura W

Weekday Happy Hour 4pm - 7pm $5 Moscow mules , or greyhounds. House red , white, and cava for $5 and $4 draft beers

Peter G McDermott

Leave the copper cup to the ladies and step up to a dark and stormy . Definitely underrated!

Jennifer Shaw

Chicken and waffles with a side of fries ! A must!!

Kamaria Mion

Mac and cheese is great, & they know how to do fried chicken right ????????

Victoria E

Chicken and waffles are delicious ( but a little on the small side. My sidecar was very good but minuscule

Allie Mahler

For vegetarians : Huevos rancheros were amazing. Mac and cheese . Grilled cheese with tomato soup .

Alex Ravenel

Good lunch . Po boys and huevos rancheros were great.

Christina Lor

I wasn't impressed by any flavor. Came for lunch , dined at the bar . It was a little warm thankfully the marble bar provided some relief. Left wanting to go grocery shopping & doing better.

Tyler Bennett

Have the Moscow Mule ! It's a wonderful drink! Goes great with a bacon , egg , and cheese sandwich at midnight.

CC T

I had the fried catfish with the mac and cheese . The catfish was bland and the mac and cheese was grainy.

Jillian Patton

If you come here and don't order a Moscow Mule , God kills a puppy. Just do it. Trust me. Think of the puppies.

Chris Plunkett

Do this: the Hot Chicken w/ a side of buttermilk ranch, Mac n Cheese & an old fashioned.

Joseph Moreno

The best Moscow mule ; food is well priced and tastes great!

Ab

Solid bar tending. Try the cocktail on tap or gin and tonic .

Shayna Frey

Everything we ate was delicious, but the mac n cheese was fantastic!

Lauren Candies

If you order a burger always get a double... If some is good then more must be better. #doubledown

Tracy Simmons

Great atmosphere! Great food! And we tried several drinks...all good!

Sarah

The Mac and cheese was also quite good... Dryer rather than a creamy type.

Etty Elise Dafni

Super awesome bartenders . Friendly and cool beyond belief.

Greg Taggart

Great brunch for a good price.

Shower head-style faucets give a robust and pleasant hand-rinsing experience. A++

Come on Wednesday nights to listen to some awesome local music !

Jan Petrie

The best Moscow Mules ever!!!! You've got to have one here!!

Super busy! Entrees aren't too expensive . I'd suggest sitting at the bar at least until it isn't "new" and you can find a seat.

Aalok Patel
