Our Story

Our flagship location opened on Folly Beach in 2006. In 2020, we moved into our current location on East Ashley Avenue, in a colorful three-story hideaway in the trees located just steps away from Center Street and a block off the beach. A main-level dining room can serve large and small groups, while the patio deck and "Octopus bar,” featuring a soaring upcycled octopus by artist Jeff Kopish, provide ample seating for families, friends, and sun-kissed beachgoers. A mid-floor services private parties, while the lantern-lit top-floor bar and rooftop deck serve as overflow on busy nights and as a private event space. (see Party Time for details). Street parking available.
