The Bar/Lounge at The Dewberry Charleston

"The food is a mix of French technique and Southern ingredients, with dishes like duck in preserved rhubarb sauce, steak frites, and, of course, local oysters"

"Husk, a city institution serving locally sourced Southern fare in a dainty Victorian setting, is 15 minutes away, as is Minero, a dynamic brick-walled taqueria with an exhaustive tequila menu and The Victor Social Club, an Ernest Hemingway-themed bar stirring up Havana-inspired libations"

"Off the lobby is The Living Room, where bartenders in white jackets serve expertly crafted cocktails to locals and tourists alike"

"Upstairs, the 155 rooms, many of which face Marion Square, feel modern and fresh, thanks to spacious marble bathrooms with oversized showers, large, patinaed mirrors that hang over the beds, and locally sourced art—look for the sweetgrass baskets and armoires that feature hand-illustrated wallpaper by local artist Becca Barnet"

"Built in the renovated Federal Building overlooking Marion Square, the Dewberry exudes style and sophistication from the travertine marble to the mahogany and walnut that adorn the lobby and in-house bar and restaurant"
