Charleston's late night, “elevated Desserterie” The Honey Hive, has been open for one month at 563 King St., offering both sweet and savory bites and a craft cocktail list named after famous women throughout history – like Rose Kennedy. The business’s interiors also feature prints of a diversity of women from local artist Lucy Boland, along with an impressive dried floral chandelier in the “Bubble Room” from Willow Event Designs.
