Since I am recently engaged, I thought it would be fun to put together an itinerary for a Bachelorette Weekend in Charleston, mainly focused on food and drinks.

If you’re planning a trip to Charleston, South Carolina, let me be your personal food guide! A little bit about me: I’ve lived in Charleston, South Carolina since 2014 and have been actively involved in the food community ever since. I love sharing the many culinary gems we have here in the Lowcountry on my Instagram and TikTok, but if you would rather have those guides in writing, you’ve come to the right place. Not only do I love to explore Charleston restaurants from a diner’s perspective, but I’m also a food writer for Charleston City Paper, Charleston Living Magazine, and Mashed, so I usually have the inside scoop.
Finally, a use for the awkward amount of pumpkin left in the can after you make a recipe. This cocktail is perfect for when you want pumpkin spice latte feels, but it’s too late in the day for coffee. This hot cocktail will keep you feeling cozy from the inside out and is super simple to make. Hot chocolate isn’t just for the kiddos anymore.

Spring Street is blowing up with new restaurants and Pink Cactus is a welcome addition! They specialize in authentic Oaxacan cuisine with plenty of tequila and mezcal cocktails to wash it down. We started out with shared apps and moved into a 4-course meal paired with cocktails. The menu items look familiar like chicken tacos and enchiladas, but you get hit with a flavor bomb from the authentic mole sauces that have such depth of flavor like you’ve never had before!

Y’all know I perk up whenever I hear talk of a new happy hour. I have been to the Grocery once for my 20th birthday brunch (tbt) and I had a decadent stuffed french toast that was bomb. Since I didn’t get to have a boozy brunch back then, I made up for it by checking out their new happy hour, which runs from 5-7pm Sunday-Thursday. All the food is $5 and under and the drinks are $6 a piece. For $6, you can normally get a vodka soda that’s mostly soda, but The Grocery is serving up complex cocktails on the cheap and I’m all about it!
I don’t think there are two words that excite me (and most Charlestonians) more than booze and brunch. HoM is known for their happy hour, great burgers, and epic ping pong games. They are bringing that same excitement to the brunch crowd by adding their own twist to classic brunch favorites such as mimosas and brunch burgers. Keep reading to find out what these twists are!
For those of you who don’t know, the Charleston Wine + Food festival is 5 days of heaven for foodies and pretty much everyone else. My experience at the Charleston Wine + Food festival was completely unique because I had a different role each day. I worked as an intern for the Culinary Talent team, took photos at 3 events, and attended as a guest on Sunday. Every role I had was as exciting as it was challenging. I learned a lot and ate a lot over these 5 days, so come along with me as I recap it.
