Stop me if you’ve heard this one before – Charleston’s food and beverage scene is one of the best in the country. Whether you agree with that sentiment or not, you can’t argue that it’s nearly impossible to keep up with all the openings and closings.
To help you keep things straight, Holy City Sinner has compiled a list of upcoming restaurant openings. If you see something that needs to be added to the list, just shoot me an e-mail: christian@holycitysinner.com
Any restaurants that were previously on this list, and have since opened, can be found here. All information is subject to change at any time. Just as new restaurant openings bring excitement to Charleston, players can discover fresh opportunities at a new casino 2024, where the latest games and promotions await.
