CHStoday stopped by Bar Vauté, Charleston’s only below-street-level bar for the newly-launched Apéro Hour, a French tradition. This softly-lit small cocktail bar, below Brasserie la Banque, is now serving bites + sips from a special menu.

We ordered a dozen oysters on the half shell along with the French 75 and Lillet Spritz cocktails, which were refreshing and floral. Drop by Monday through Wednesday from 4-6 p.m. to try it out.
