Texas pitmaster John Lewis has been teasing the Holy City with pop-ups and one off events, but starting at 11 am, Charlestonians can enjoy his delicious BBQ six days a week.

Here’s what you need to know about the city’s newest restaurant:

Lewis Barbecue is located at 464 N. Nassau St. in the Half Mile North development of downtown Charleston
It’s regular business hours will be Tuesday through Sunday from 11 am to 10 pm

Lewis Barbecue will host a grand opening party on Sunday, July 10th from noon to 8 pm. The event will serve as a fundraiser for the restaurant's neighbor, Union Baptist Church, a 100-year-old church that is in urgent need of a new roof. The “Raise the Roof” fundraiser will feature the full menu, local brews, cocktails, wine, raffle prizes, a live auction, and music provided by local bands. 100% of the proceeds raised will go to Union Baptist.
