Last updated on: 1/5/19

It seems Charleston’s food and beverage offerings are never ending. When one restaurant closes, two others open. It’s nearly impossible to keep up with all the openings.

To help you keep things straight, Holy City Sinner has compiled a list of every Charleston area restaurant that has opened in 2018.

Oh…and it doesn’t stop with this list. Click here to see what other restaurants are scheduled to open this year and beyond.
