  • Featured photo from Blind Tiger

    Blind Tiger

    36 Broad St, Charleston, SC 29401, USA

    The term “Blind Tiger” was coined in the late 1800s to describe the illicit drinking and gambling establishments opening their doors as temperance legislation swept across the country. The first “Blind Tiger” in South Carolina sprung up in the Holy City in 1893 as a defiant rebuttal to the dispensary laws. Local lore suggests Broad Street was home to many houses of “ill repute” throughout the years. In 1992, ninety-nine years after the first “Blind Tigers” appeared, the Blind Tiger Pub opened in its current location, paying homage to a historic tradition. Despite changing hands several times throughout the years, the Blind Tiger Pub has always remained a fixture of Charleston society. In 2016, after painstaking restoration, the Blind Tiger Pub was reborn. Striving to continue to honor the legacy of its previous caretakers, we invite you to join us in celebrating this Charleston institution. Hand-crafted cocktails, chef-inspired menus and historic Southern charm will create an event experience unlike any other.

    Upstairs at Vincent Chicco's

    39 John St, Charleston, SC 29403, USA
    • Spaces for 80-100 Guests
    • 1 Restaurant

    Vincent Chicco's private dining room may accommodate up to 100 people for a business meeting or a special occasion. This unique space boasts vaulted ceilings, exposed brick, and subtle elegance above our Italian restaurant in the center of upper King Street in downtown Charleston. History and tradition, like its namesake, influence Vincent Chicco's now-modern take on classic Italian-American dishes. Vincent Chicco's is a peaceful sanctuary tucked back on Hutson Alley, serving exquisite Italian food with fresh ingredients, handmade pastas, and house-made sauces. During the prohibition era, Vincent Chicco, an Italian immigrant to Charleston, managed a number of saloons and was a leader in the local anti-prohibition movement. Chicco's arrest was the first since Governor Tillman signed a dispensary law. Because many Charlestonians opposed the law, Chicco's arrest became well-known. Vincent Chicco's is thrilled to serve enhanced old-world authentic Italian cuisine that pays tribute to one of Charleston's forgotten heroes.
