The newest go-to place for all things bourbon, cocktails, and champagne in Charleston will be opening its doors sometime in the fall season. Bourbon N’ Bubbles will provide liquor brands not easily found at other locations, setting this establishment apart from any other place in the Charleston Area.

“Our vision for Bourbon N’ Bubbles is the result of years of experience listening to customer needs and wants, which is crucial to standing apart in a crowded marketplace,” said Zach Dennis, Director of Operations, in a press release last month.

This vision entails a high-end selection of champagnes and bourbons from a wide variety of champagne house and distilleries, such as Buffalo Trice and Taittinger, with industry expert staff to guide the guest through their unique experience. The location is said to have an ‘Americana Hybrid” theme, featuring a modern industry layout with 1940’s decor.

Dennis believes, “…Charleston is ripe for this new concept, and our full-bar will provide rare, high-end bourbon and champagnes that no other Charleston venue currently carries or provides as single pours. The caliber of brands that we offer on the menu, along with the unique food pairings, will be a departure from your typical bar.”
