Booking programs
For today’s appetizer, we are serving up the apps that are most popular for booking in Charleston.
Resy | This program is popular across the peninsula to book hot spots ahead of time.
OpenTable | We like to use this app for the ability to search for the exact time, party size, and date your group needs.
The bar seats at Melfi’s look incredibly comfy.

Be a bar regular
Most places will serve a full menu at the bar and you can get to know the staff a lot more than sitting alone. Fun fact: by doing this we have gained a lot of story ideas for what you read in CHStoday.
Here are some of our favorite barstools in the Holy City:
Halls Chophouse | The chophouse has multiple bars serving up a great burger for those who want a quick bite.
Melfi’s | This restaurant has a stunning wood bar to try its mouth watering pizzas.
Sorelle | Grab a seat at the bar for your best shot at trying the Italian flavors of this new eatery.
Take it to go
When all else fails, grab your picnic basket and head on over to White Point Gardens or Pitt Street Bridge for a carryout picnic.
