About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
Bricks & Barrels is a steak and seafood experience voted three consecutive years as Charleston's Favorite Restaurant in the annual People's Choice Awards. Known for its unique ambience that relaxes the mind and rejuvenates the spirit, Bricks & Barrels features four semi-private dining areas that give the sensation of dining inside a whiskey barrel. The restaurant’s interior features wooden whiskey barrels used as dining tables contrasted against the rustic brick façade. But the food & drinks are the highlight, with the Green Tomato Napoleon being a favorite appetizer. The Mediterranean Chicken was nominated for Charleston's best dish by The Food Guy, a local food critic: bone-in chicken breast braised in capers, figs and olives created a beautiful symphony of flavors (sweet, tart, salty, earthy) on a colorful, gorgeously presented plate." Charleston's Favorite Bartender Drew serves specialty cocktails, local craft beer and award-winning wines. Memories are made at Bricks & Barrels.

    The ambience was nice. The barrel table was cool. The fries were to die for, everything else was sub par. Our waiter was l kind and attentive but he way over promised on food taste and quality.

    Early table on a weeknight, so the restaurant was quiet and not at all crowded. Enjoyed a nice glass of Pinot and a wedge salad with grilled chicken. Everyone in my party agreed that our server, John, did a fabulous job.
