Local Wine Bar with a good selection of Bourbons. They typically have hard to find brands like Blantons. If you like bourbons, try Revival by Highwire, I was impressed. If you love it as much as I do the distillery is in downtown Charleston. Take a tour if you have time.

Oak Road Brewery

The Icehouse was mentioned under restaurants but the upstairs typically is not advertised by this simi high end restaurant. Take the steep staircase to the top floor for a local favorite night life scene. If you are looking for a late-night bar hop, Montreux, O'lacys and Icehouse are all walking distance and popular until 2am. If there isn't anything going on at Montreux or O'lacys there will be upstairs at Icehouse it tends to be where everyone ends the night.
