Drinks & Nightlife

Moe's has atmosphere in town! It has great wraps, burgers and all-around bar food. It's also our favorite spot for Sunday brunch. If you want a seat, get there right at 10:30am!

Cooper River is the closest brewery, but there are many! It's an easy walk and there are terrific views of the marsh and Ashley River on the way. They usually have food trucks and live music on the weekends. There is seating inside and outside and you can play cornhole, ping pong or watch sports on TV.

Revelry is a rooftop brewery in the neighborhood. Definitely check it out while the sun is still up to see 360 degree views of the city. They also have a full-time sushi food truck that serves an awesome sushi burrito! The downstairs patio usually has live music on the weekends too.

Parks & Nature

Hampton Park used to be a horse track so they loop around the park is exactly a mile. There are many ponds and historical monuments within the park so make sure you venture off the paths. There is parking available on either side of the loop.

Brittlebank is a couple miles away near the Riverdogs stadium (local baseball team owned by Bill Murray - Chief Officer of FUN). This park has excellent views of the marsh and long pier to fish from. It's also a great spot for a jog. There is ample parking available.

Rutledge Cab is the closest restaurant. Our favorite items on the menu are the fried chicken sandwich and the french onion burger. Definitely try a milkshake if you save room! They also serve breakfast all day.

Sightseeing

This is our favorite secret spot that won't be a secret much longer. It has stunning marsh views and is great for a quick jog. You may only see another person or two. It's .75 miles from our house to the far end of the bridge. We like to walk out there and then stop at Cooper River Brewing for a beer afterwards.
