Lowcountry Cuisine Summer/Fall 2019

LC 22 www.LowcountryCuisineMag.com | www.MountPleasantRestaurant.com | www.CharlestonRecipes.com lowcountry cuisine S ummer has officially begun in Charleston. The humidity is increasing each day, as well as sunburnt skin. It’s my favorite time of year, and one of my favorite ways to enjoy summer in Charleston is by sipping on a cocktail at a rooftop bar. Charleston is fortunate to have a multitude of rooftop bars around the city. One of the best things about all of them is that they offer different views of the city. I decided to pay a visit to a few of what I have deemed “the best rooftop bars in Charleston” and soon discovered that these rooftops have nothing short of great and refreshing summer cocktails, as well as delectable food to pair them with. FIAT LUX Fiat Lux, on top of the Hotel Bennett, is brand new and offers a plethora of dining options, including a gorgeous rooftop bar. Fiat Lux has a small inside-dining area that offers bar seating, as well as limited seating around the bar and on the outdoor rooftop deck. The bar offers views of Marion Square, surrounding church steeples and you can even see as far as the Battery and the ocean beyond. It’s truly a stunning view. Fiat Lux has a cocktail on their menu called Ancho Want More that is sure to help break that summer sweat. It’s made with Milagro Silver tequila, Ancho Reyes Verde liqueur, BY LAURA DONNELLON, CHARLESTON FOODIES ON A BUDGET Charleston’s Rooftop Hot Spots Drinking and Eating on Top of the World
