Let’s be honest, a Charleston summer has a way of always coming in hot. Thankfully, there are two things the Holy City has to help you beat the heat: beaches galore, and plenty of places to cool off with a crisp drink in hand. However, if you’re not ready to fully leave a long day at the beach behind, tuck into The Darling Oyster Bar at 513 King St., for beautiful coastal vibes, refreshing cocktails, and fresh seafood.
Whether you’re feeling adventurous or sticking to a classic, The Darling’s cocktail menu is full of options that will transport you straight into vacation mode. Fret not, though, there are plenty of wine and beer options too, if it better suits your fancy. Pair that with a round (or two!) of oysters, and you’re set up for the perfect Lowcountry treat.
Hungry for more? The rumors are true–the best way to imbibe is by having a few bites at the ready. While The Darling has a little something for everyone, the preferred approach to keeping cool all summer long is by treating yourself to a few raw bar and pink menu favorites. From shrimp cocktails to rotating ceviches and the seafood plateau, the world really is your oyster at The Darling.
Cap off your visit with a Charleston favorite–a round of house made oyster shooters. If the sweet tooth cravings hit, though, opt for a delectable dessert like key lime pie, cheesecake, or a delicious riff on a s’more, which are all chilled to perfection and great for sharing.
There’s no need to wait! With summer right around the corner, do yourself and your friends and family a favor, and book your table now via RESY.
