Word on the street

What locals are saying

The Archer, opened August 2024 by the Berkeley's owners (Marc and Liz Hudacsko), has drawn consistent praise from Charleston press and early regulars as a smart, upscale-but-relaxed neighborhood tavern with a genuinely inventive cocktail program and creative comfort food. Charleston Magazine called it 'another win for the Hudacskos,' highlighting the killer bar program, standout dishes like crispy eggplant and seared duck breast, and a smartly designed interior. The spot flies somewhat under the radar near the Ravenel Bridge on-ramp, but that off-the-path location comes with rare downtown parking — and a late-night kitchen (until 11pm) and daily happy hour have quickly made it a go-to for locals.
