Word on the street
What locals are saying
Graft is widely regarded by Charleston regulars as the city's best neighborhood wine bar — a shop-bar hybrid on upper King Street where you can pull any of ~215 retail bottles off the wall and drink it in-house for a flat $15 corkage fee. Co-owners Femi Oyediran and Miles White (both respected sommeliers) built it explicitly as 'a shop for our friends,' keeping the sweet spot around $20–$30 a bottle and the vibe unpretentious; locals praise the staff as knowledgeable without being snobby. The one recurring gripe is occasional service inconsistency — at least one visitor found the staff dismissive — but repeat patronage and a 4.9-star rating across nearly 200 reviews suggest that's the exception, not the rule.
