Mount Pleasant pro tips?

ATL PAW MAN® · 2025-06-19T16:34:25.299Z

You may recall Familia APM is doing our summer vacay in Chawstun/IOP this year. APM has only passed through Mt Pleasant since it got all bougied up. lilAPMette is into bougie. Are there places you would recommend to go or things to see in Mount Pleasant?

Definitely go The Southern for HH

or what we call "The 'Thern", since the outside sign lights have been burned out for at least 5 years. Hank, the owner, is a cheapass and made lemonade out of lemons, and now he won't fix the burned out lights because he a made a T-shirt that has "The 'Thern" on it. If you're looking for a bunch of old men to hang out and BS with, and/or want a good cheesesteak sandwich, that's your spot. (If you ever see an attractive woman there, she probably meant to go to the salad place next door). They also have the smallest TV's of any bar (often heard during football season: "WE'RE NOT A SPORTS BAR!") and grumpiest afternoon bartender in town. Sometimes the AC works. Also, I'm usually there on Thursdays, sometimes Fridays and the occasional Saturday. You never know who will show up. Last Friday I enjoyed a few Natties with Bobby Houck from "The Blue Dogs", and I talked to Joe Cunningham (a former SC senator) a few months ago. I've been lobbying Hank for a Hans Wenzel/Mel Washington/Doug Jones show, but he probably won't pay for that much talent in one spot.

A lot of people like Coastal Crust on Simmons street, but I won't go because:

1) Pizza
2) The younger, hip breeders in S. Mt Pleasant make their time there a chance for their kids to free range after they have apparently broken into the household crack/meth supply.

"Graze" is good eatin', even if it is in a strip mall.

I still have never been to Grace and Grit.

Art's bar is trying to rebrand themselves as a diner/restauarant. i know they get their shrimp from Magwoods son since Wayne died. But it will always smell like vomit to me while Hootie and the Blowfish play "Mustang Sally" drunk in a 6'x6' corner of the bar. Then Kevn Kinney shows up and they play all 3 of Driv'n and Cryin's hits.

Shem creek: It's a neat walkabout in the afternoon. The outside bar at the Wreck (also owned by Hank at The 'Thern) has some of the best sunset views on this side of the bridge. Not many people know that though, so it's not usually crowded.

Muddy's (below Vickery's) is quickly becoming my favorite 'creek beer drinking spot because they don't have floors (it's all sand), they sell Natty light sometimes, they allow dogs, and it reminds me of the Bahamas.

Saltwater Cowboy across the creek from Muddy's has turned into a tourist trap. Maybe it always was, but it was worth going just to see the "influencers" do tequila shots. Red's, is well, still Red's. 24 years after opening, the food still sucks and the beer is lukewarm, but watching people try and dock their boats into a 3 knot flood tide current is always fun.

The rest of Mt Pleasant is a lot of traffic, tourists going to/from the beach, and yankees wishing they were local and didn't live in Carolina Park.

Boat ride to Fort Sumter from Patriot's Point is cool. Love the museum there.

Shem Creek has a nice boardwalk.

The Pitt Street Bridge Park is nice as well.

Wood & Grain for an excellent dinner of seafood and wood fired pizza. The octopus and butterbean app is #### yummy. Lobster roll. Mmmmm. Langdon's and Tierra Al Mar next door. All outstanding eateries. https://owensdininggroup.com/woodandgrainmtp/

Naan is a recent Indian restaurant that we like a lot.

Sullivan's Island Fish Camp (on Sullivan's Island of course) for lunch.

Two Blokes and Hobcaw Breweries off Long Point Road for cold beers, although Edmund's Oast Brewing in Downtown Charleston has the best beers of any SC brewery with a nice outdoor seating area next to Rancho Lewis(Southwestern cuisine from owner of Lewis's BBQ).

Revelry Brewing downtown has a nice rooftop bar.
