    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

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

    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

    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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

    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.

    Da food's not terrible, but it's by no means great. I waited over 20 mins at the bar for a drink n it wasn't packed. I placed my order w a waitress instead n got served quickly.
