The Wine Bar, Mount Pleasant

Heralded by the staff of Charleston City Paper for its "cozy, candle-lit atmosphere" and selection of dozens of wines, The Wine Bar caters to enophiles with bottled and by-the-glass varietals from the world's major wine-producing locales. Artfully arranged platters of artisanal cheeses, charcuterie, and gourmet chocolates complement sundry reds and whites, as well as a lineup of craft beer. Those tasty morsels, along with cabernet-colored paintings and modern exposed-brick walls, prepare wine lovers for a comfortable session of decadence.
