Right off the harbor, this is a great place to have a drink or a meal. We sat outdoors at the edge of the large patio, enjoyed the late afternoon, and watched the sun set. The bar and restaurant take up the whole roof of this sizable building, and the restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. There's live music nightly, too. It was a great place to unwind after a day of walking all over town. We just ordered appetizers to complement our draft beers, but they were good.
The view is unmatched. Charleston must have an ordinance limiting the height of construction, and only church steeples poke up above you here. You can see the whole expanse of the harbor, the Battery, and out to Fort Sumter. It's worth the cost of a drink just to see the city from here.
