Poe’s Tavern

You might not think of Edgar Allan Poe when you consider famous Charleston residents. However, the legendary poet was once a poet living on Sullivan’s Island. Today, the island honors his legacy with Poe’s Tavern, a great place to have a drink and a hearty bite to eat. Poe’s Tavern has the kind of menu that might cause you to forget your diet momentarily. Perhaps the biggest attraction are the Angus Chuck burgers, which tip the scales at half-a-pound. Some items have playful Poe-inspired names such as “Annabel Lee” and “Pit & Pendulum.” Other treats include fish tacos and quesadillas. If you’re a fan of “The Raven” who’s craving some excellent food and drink, you should come to Poe’s Tavern. Poe himself would hopefully feel touched that his name had been attributed to such a good restaurant. Poe’s Tavern is open from Monday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 12 a.m. Address: 2210 Middle St, Sullivan’s Island, SC 29482, United States
