Where to eat after 10 p.m.

We’ve all been there– you’re leaving an after-hours show downtown and the midnight munchies hit. But where to go? While most nights, the King Street bars can be seen crawling with people, the Lowcountry seems to close up shop on the early side as far as restaurants go.

But you don’t have to go hungry. Whether you’re in the mood for cheap, delicious bar snacks or a full-on meal– we’ve rounded up over 30 late-night joints where you can eat your way to a good night’s sleep.

From pizza to fine dining, bookmark this list for the next time you’re starving after-hours.
