“Classic friendly dive bar, everyone was so friendly and the beers were cold. I was stopping through Charleston on a larger Amtrak trip and this was one of my favorite watering holes I discovered during my time there. I was there for an hour or two during Jazz night too which was an even more fortunate coincidence.“

The food? Absolutely fabulous. Morgan is a standout—not only a rockstar business owner and creative force, but a true asset to Charleston. Her commitment to building community, supporting the arts, and keeping downtown vibrant is something our city is lucky to have. Rock City Cake Company isn’t just a bakery or a venue—it’s a whole vibe!“

“We ordered from Swiftwater to cater a Christmas lunch. I can't say enough about how smooth the process went. They called a couple of times to confirm the order and delivery address. The day of the event, they were on time and set everything up for us.

The quality of the food was great. We had sandwiches, wraps, pasta salad, potato salad, and pepperoni rolls. Portions were generous.

I would definitely consider Swiftwater for catering. We will use them for future events.“
