37 Best Wine Bars near Johns Island

“Always a wonderful experience, the food and service are excellent“

“What a great addition to Johns Island. Jordan has an incredible knowledge of wine and terroir. The small group wine tastings are a great combination of learning, tasting wines from really small wineries, and making friendship, all accompanied by their delicious cheese plates. Can't wait to go to a wine and cigar pairing night soon.“

“Small plates were great especially the delicious asparagus risotto. Friendly bar staff.“

“Lunch...terrific. started with fried green tomato blt sandwich that was off the chart. Sinfully delicious... now that I have your attention please note this sandwich was paired with deviled eggs. An over-the-top combination that takes you to an over-the-top state of pure bliss. Rest assured that you will be in a dream state after this meal.“

“Many of the local restaurants are overrated, but not Charleston Grill. Great ambiance, service, and the food is fantastic. The knowledgeable staff will help with a wine or cocktail selection to add to your experience. I recommend a jacket for men as this is an upscale venue. Go here, it's worth it.“

“I come here all the time and have nothing good to say about the servers, food, and atmosphere. Sometimes they have live music which is really a plus!!! Located right on king with a great happy hour and great cocktails!!! Rachel was my server/bartender tonight and she did a great job! The cassara is best in town!!!!“

“6/5! Visiting Charleston and had an amazing meal here, best of the trip. I ordered the oysters (to die for), scallops (pretty good) and Brussel sprouts (best of my life). My wife got the salmon. We were celebrating our baby moon and they made us feel special with amazing service and free champagne/sparkling cider. Very professional wait staff, excellent vibes and ambiance. Would definitely return! Be sure to get a reservation or show up right when they open.“

“Made a reservation at Maison for our last night in Charleston. It was a wonderful meal from start to finish. Our server Allie was fantastic, lots of detail about flavors and highlights of the menu. The food was great, chef had different takes on classic French dishes. Maison will definitely be on the list of restaurants to visit when we return to Charleston.“

“Out of this world. If you are looking for the best spot in Charleston for a wonderful dinner with your partner, this is the only option. The varied dining locations provide plenty of reason to go back for round 2 as well.All of the staff are super professional and knowledgeable. We were greeted with champagne, a rose, and a card since it was our first anniversary. We dined on the back patio which was nice and secluded with only three tables. Every course was top notch and we paired it with a different one of their phenomenal cocktails for each.Seriously this place can't be beat. Stay at 86 Cannon and go here for as many meals as you can.“

“An old quaint building in Charleston that was beautifully updated. I would recommend to sit at the bar with a view of the kitchen! The food was creative and balanced…everything was excellent. The wine pairing was amazing and exceeded the value of what we paid! Definitely will be back!“

“One Dish kept this from being a perfect meal Our waiter, (Dexter), was great. We started this meal with Mussels and frits. The frits was prefect vessel to soak up butter, coconut lime broth For our second appetizer we shared softshell crabs. This crab was served on a bed of corn, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, sweet peppers and gnocchi. The corn medley was so good, I think Nico should incorporate it into their daily menu. If I could do it over, I would have taken the option of adding a second softshell and made this my main dish. The wife's Scallops were perfectly cooked served on top of an excellent coconut rice with snap peas and a green curry beurre Blanc. My Duck L'Orange, was the single miss step in our meal. The dish was a bland and the duck slightly undercooked. Compare the picture I posted with this review, to the picture on Nico's Facebook page, and it is clear this isn't the same dish. We finished with 2 deserts: Mine was a very nice Crème brûlée that was fired table side.“

“Whether you intend to host a party or just drop in for a glass of wine and a bottle to take home, Wine & Company has you covered. Exceptional selection of rare retail and by-the-glass wines, including some with age, and all with character. Wine & Company is a shining example of Charleston culture at its finest.“

“So freaking good omg. So glad I started working within walking distance! I've had a couple of their sandwiches but the Italian boy is by far my favorite. It's so delicious and filling that it usually lasts me two meals. Unfortunately there was a car accident a few weeks ago but they're still open and making the most out of a terrible situation. I would highly recommend coming here“

“Great place, excellent food, reasonably priced, and fantastic service. It's an absolute gem on James Island worthy of downtown Charleston. Never had something I didn't like. From a fine Charcuterie board to an Italian BLT... steak to chicken and waffles. Lovely outdoor seating area and an elegant yet comfortable bar. It's definitely worth a visit.“

“Truly one of my favorite restaurants in Charleston. I've been twice and have loved every bite while there. It's a smaller space so if you have a larger group not a bad idea to get a reservation. Also do not sleep on their happy hour - it's a great deal with food and drink. Their Caesar salad is unique and has the best crunch with the seeds addition. We also tried the Korean chicken which was a great share item for the table and packed with flavor. All the pizzas are great but the tiramisu was one of the best I've ever had. I tried to get my husband to go back the next night just to get me one to go. Also - the house ranch and hot honey?! You really cannot go wrong with either. Love everything about Renzo.“

“They have a remarkable well researched wine list with selections seldom seen elsewhere. In my case I found a Bomfim from the Portugal Pinhao Region I had not seem since visiting in 2015. Also a Shiraz from the Adelaide McLaren Vale Region we had not seen since visiting in 2017. Great to find somewhere with wines out of the ordinary and able to enjoy wines from past travels again.“

“Wonderful meal prior to our show! I had the clams with house made linguine and the pasta, buttery seasoned sauce was delish. My husband had a lamb meal and it was excellent. My daughter had a small plate as her meal and her girlfriend had a Cesar salad! Drinks were phenomenal and so was the service. Our waiter was very attentive and we even got a visit from the Maitre d! We will definitely be back.“

“Nice little place. Thanks to Jane, they were open, despite planned being closed for the night. Beer was cold and refreshing. Great conversation with the young lady. Despite her only working there once per week, she's certainly knowledgeable about the bar and the beers.“

“From exquisite presentation to unparalleled freshness, every bite is a symphony of flavors. The ingredients were fresh, the dining ambiance was intimate and the wine pairings were perfect! The omakase experience is a masterpiece of tradition and innovation, leaving you craving more. A must-visit for oyster and raw fish aficionados seeking luxury and impeccable service. We can’t wait to go back!!“

“Cutest eatery in Avondale. Amazing wine selection and best charcuterie by far. Went on. Friday early evening. Staff were fun and shared all of the Women's' Month specials. I enjoyed the wine flight from all female owned wineries. My spouse enjoyed multiple tastings of cabs. We each brought a bottle home. The cheeses are davine - whipped feta is our favorite. Recommend going early as fills quickly.“

“This place is a gem! Awesome local taproom. Great selection of beers - IPAs, stouts, sours, they have it all. The bartenders really know their stuff, and is a Bills fan, who helped me pick out some winners. The vibe is chill and friendly. Definitely a cool spot to kick off a night on King Street! ??“

“We visited this place while we are waiting or our turn at 167 Raw Oyster bar. Bin 152 is a hidden gem. It has a great selection of wines from all over the world and cheese and charcuteries. They recommended the wine once we told them that later we would be having oysters for dinner and moreover they recommended the cheese and charcuteries to accompany our wine. Great service, will definitely revisit.“

“Coziest most lovely wine bar in a former home! More than just a place to grab a drink while waiting for your dinner rez. Worth staying here for dinner. The burger and carbonara were delicious and very affordably priced for downtown! One of my favorite spots.“

“Great little neighborhood bar that was within walking distance to my Air BnB. It has a decent beer and wine selection. They have snacks as well. Vivian was friendly and had several suggestions for restaurants in the area. I was here early so no one else was in here but I'm sure it's a popular place. Wednesday nights is open mike night and live music every Friday and Saturday. Come check it out!“

“I would go here more often if it was open on weekends. Over all delicious. The chicken burrito I had was so good and the sauce made everything even better. It only took 10 minutes to get our food and they had a little courtyard with shade behind the building. The prices are pretty standard for Charleston (not that cheap) but it wasn't outrageously expensive. The courtyard does have free water. The burrito has pico, fries, your meat of choice, cheese, and avocado. I would recommend going here if you're in the area around lunch time on a week day“

“My husband and I really enjoyed the entirety of our evening at Muse. Great bartender and cocktails, great wine recommendation, and great service and meal. We were visiting from out of town and thought this place was fantastic. All the staff go above and beyond.“

“Says dessert bar, but really a bar with desserts.Desserts are thick, heavy and sweet. Would try, but probably have to wait a bit before trying another.Got a Salami Goat and Turkey Asiago, Cactus Pear Spritz and Key Lime Pie. Pie was like cheesecake. Cactus was interesting.Both sandwiches were tangy. Salami probably from the vinegar, and turkey from the cheese. Appreciated the fig jam to cut through all the tang. Made me want a drink, so maybe that's intentional.Probably wouldn't go here for the food.Only a single room bathroom for everyone, male/female/handicap.“

“The best dining experience we’ve ever had hands down. Thank you Glissianna and team. My family were expecting a delicious lunch by the water but this experience was so much more than that. The biscuits were fluffy and warm, the best we’ve ever tasted. The shrimp and grits, oyster po boy, tomato soup, roasted beet salad and blueberry bri fried chicken sandwich were all top notch. We were celebrating two birthdays and they treated us to champagne with orchids and berries on top, cheesecake with berries, roses and very fancy chocolates. The best service we’ve ever had.“

“What a great little find. Extremely friendly and courteous and the coffee was delicious. The decor is very comfortable and has a very nice 'soft' 'calm' feeling about it. It took me by surprise actually as it's in a strip mall and I was expecting just a generic coffee shop. Whoever designed it and runs it....well done!“

“Such a great idea! So happy there’s an amazing cafe and wine bar out there with cats from shelters to give love to and adopt! The staff are very friendly and nice to talk to, great place overall! We need more places like this around to help cats find their home and to have a space to roam and be loved onin replacement to them being in a small kennel at a animal shelter“

“Love the ambiance at Vintage Lounge. The speakeasy inspired, Architectural Digest award winning design, pairs beautifully with the craft cocktails. Service was attentive and friendly. We didn’t order any bites here but it looked delicious.“

“We attended a Freemark Abbey wine dinner at FortyEight Wine Bar & Kitchen in April. The food was outstanding as was the service and ambience. The wine and food pairings were delicious. That being said, they served two beef entrees with red wines. I probably would have paired the last cabernet with a chocolate dessert. We also had lunch there on another day, sat outside and had a tasty lunch. Highly recommend FortyEight!“

“There are many rooftops bars in Charleston – unfortunately we’re not able to experience all of them, but we did this one and our server Dana made it five star quality such an enjoyable experience talking to her. She took such good care of us. - she knows about Customer Service and that can make a break a restaurant.“

“For an expensive fine dining restaurant, the food was adequate but the side dishes selection was minimal. They really need to add some items like Charleston rice, sauteed Brussels, etc the potatoes were average; nothing spectacular, and chunky...Dessert selection ok.“

“It was our first time visiting Charleston and we had lunch reservations as this restaurant came highly recommended. Well, it didn't disappoint us! Our server, Ben, was amazing! He absolutely made it a great experience! Ben is the best!“

“The ambiance is second to none and I love the The Art of War element, even though, or maybe because, I only made it to page 10of the book. Very unique. The drinks and food seems to be fairly priced, while expertly prepared and presented. And our server, Sam, was knowledgeable and enthusiastic without being pushy. He is adorable and definitely rounded out our 5 star experience. A wonderful spot for date night (us), girls night out (the table next to us), or a celebratory dinner (most of the restaurant, graduation weekend). Cheers!“
