McCrady's

About McCrady's

It all began with a hankering for an excellent drink. In 1778, Edward McCrady built a four-story Georgian house on East Bay Street and opened McCrady's Tavern. Unbeknownst to him, this eponymous watering hole was the origin of what would become part of this very restaurant over 200 years later. In 2006, new owners with a keen appreciation for the history of the building and for Charleston set out to restore the property to its original grandeur. Thus, McCrady's Restaurant was created with deep roots in tradition while representing the best of new Southern fine dining. Under the helm of Chef Sean Brock, McCrady's offers a contemporary look at Southern cuisine. A James Beard Award-winning chef, Brock brings creativity and passion to the McCrady's kitchen. McCrady's exudes a commitment to peak-season and sustainable ingredients, sourcing from the restaurant's rooftop garden and Lowcountry farmers, artisans and fisherman. The menu, which changes daily, is a celebration of this commitment combined with an illustration of Southern flavors.
