Sip on this: Visit Saint Urban’s a cozy wine bar

We love the European vibe. | Photo by the CHStoday team.
We’re fortunate to explore Charleston + discover all the amazing spots and activities it has to offer. The Holy City is home to some of the best small businesses, and we love sharing our local adventures. Keep reading for our latest find.

Recently, we visited a place that feels like an intimate European wine bar — but get this: it’s located right here in the Lowcountry. Enter Saint Urban’s, a wine bar with a patio in the I’On neighborhood of Mount Pleasant, which has been open for a year.

We spent the evening chatting with Warren, the owner, while enjoying imported wines and a charcuterie board. We really loved the goat cheese. Guests can also stop by and pick up a bottle of wine, tinned seafood, and rare chocolate finds. We were able to try one of the chocolates and it was sprinkled with truffle fries.

Stop by and try the cozy vibes yourself and stay tuned for our next local adventure.
