Bricks & Barrels is a steak and seafood experience voted three consecutive years as Charleston's Favorite Restaurant in the annual People's Choice Awards. Known for its unique ambience that relaxes the mind and rejuvenates the spirit, Bricks & Barrels features four semi-private dining areas that give the sensation of dining inside a whiskey barrel. The restaurant’s interior features wooden whiskey barrels used as dining tables contrasted against the rustic brick façade. But the food & drinks are the highlight, with the Green Tomato Napoleon being a favorite appetizer. The Mediterranean Chicken was nominated for Charleston's best dish by The Food Guy, a local food critic: bone-in chicken breast braised in capers, figs and olives created a beautiful symphony of flavors (sweet, tart, salty, earthy) on a colorful, gorgeously presented plate." Charleston's Favorite Bartender Drew serves specialty cocktails, local craft beer and award-winning wines. Memories are made at Bricks & Barrels.

    My friend and I went to the circus and ate at Brick's and Barrels afterwards. I'm so very glad we chose to eat there and not somewhere else we were thinking about. Service was great and it looks awesome inside. Our meals were absolutely delicious!!!! I got the Mediterranean Chicken and she got the pork chop. We both love our meals and would definitely go back.

    Food was good, but wait staff seemed rushed and disinterested. Poor way to celebrate our 19th anniversary.
