Located on Sullivan’s Island, Poe’s Tavern is named in honor of Edgar Allen Poe, who was stationed for thirteen months on the isle at Fort Moultrie. The restaurant (which turns into a local hangout late night) is decorated with the author’s quotes and artwork-depicting characters from his stories. In the bar area, you have to check out the author’s portrait painted on the brick above the fireplace. It’s as creepy as the author’s work.

Poe’s offers indoor and outdoor seating and everything on the menu is worth trying—from the nachos to the chicken sandwiches. You won’t be disappointed.
