Charleston, South Carolina, is known as one of the South’s most haunted cities, boasting a variety of historic homes, inns, eateries, and forts reported to house the supernatural. Those looking for a spooky spot to eat this Friday the 13th will find no shortage of opportunities to scare up an appetite.

Perhaps the most well-known haunted dining spot in Charleston is Poogan’s Porch, boasting the ghost of a young schoolteacher and the loyal dog of a previous resident. Poogan’s is Charleston’s oldest independent dining establishment, operating out of a restored Victorian home on historic Queen Street. The restaurant is beloved for its fluffy biscuits and hot buttermilk fried chicken, still served on the porch that the original four-legged Poogan slept on every day.

Another restaurant known for its ghosts is the Prohibition-era Blind Tiger Pub. Originally serving as a speakeasy in its prime, former employees and regular customers alike have told stories of a spectral woman in black walking through the bar before disappearing. Others have reported hearing phantom footsteps and feeling as though someone is pulling their hair.

What’s brunch without some sort of libation? We’ve already found some of the best Bloody Marys in Charleston, so now we turn our attention to the best mimosa deals in Charleston. It’s hard to mess up a mimosa as its only two required ingredients are champagne (or other sparkling wine) and orange juice. However, not all brunch spots are created equal in terms of what kind of deal they have on this signature beverage. So we’ve found six places that are a bargain when it comes to mimosas.

Blind Tiger

Blind Tiger is a beloved pub downtown with a great atmosphere. It’s also a prime brunch spot. If it’s warm enough, head to the scenic outdoor space where you can enjoy your $10 carafes of mimosas during a delicious brunch.

With a name like Toast, you can bet the brunch game at this place is strong. And you wouldn’t be wrong. Their French toast is decadent and legendary. Their mimosa offerings are also amazing. You can get a $14 carafe or pay $14 a person for bottomless mimosas.

Triangle Char and Bar

This Avondale hotspot is great for brunch. With good food and a great location you can’t go wrong. But we’re talking mimosas here and Triangle doesn’t disappoint on that front. They have $1 single mimosas or you can pay just $7 for a carafe.

The Tattooed Moose is home to one of the best sandwiches around, the triple decker duck confit club. And it’s also a great spot for brunch. While they have $5 mimosas all week long, during Sunday brunch they are only $3.

Virginia’s on King is home to delicious brunch fare including southern classics like shrimp and grits and biscuits and gravy. But they’re also home to some great mimosas. Of course they have standard mimosas made with OJ and champagne, but you can also use any juice they have on the menu and add champagne to make a mimosa. Glasses are $7 but the better value is the carafe for $17.
