We’ve covered where to go for romantic dates, the best Valentine’s Day spots, and where to stay on your wedding night, but what if you’re looking to have a platonic good time with a BFF? Well, Charleston is full of great places to pal around. We’ve picked out just a few of our favorite places to meet a friend in Charleston.

Kudu Coffee & Craft Beer is a local favorite for those who spend time downtown. The coffee is good, the beer selection is top notch, and the lack of wifi means that it’s not crowded with people on their laptops. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the atmosphere of this unique spot.

Waterfront Park

If you don’t feel like meeting for food and drink, then Waterfront Park is a great place to meet up with a friend. You can take a stroll along the waterfront, take a classic picture in front of the pineapple fountain, or grab a swing and talk the afternoon away.

Warehouse

Warehouse is a great place to meet a friend in Charleston. It has great food, signature cocktails, and a couple of lounge areas for you and your pals to relax in. Or if it’s just two of you, meet up at the bar and enjoy the libations and the upscale snacks.

Muddy Waters Coffee Bar

This is the second coffee shop on our list and for good reason. There’s nothing quite like getting your caffeine boost with a pal to share it with. This James Island spot is the perfect place to meet a friend in Charleston. Grab a cup of coffee and chat or look at the art featured in the cafe.

The End of the Cooper River Bridge

If you’ve ever crossed over the Ravenel Bridge, then you’ve definitely seen the pedestrians on the sidewalk crossing from Mount Pleasant to downtown and back. If you want to do something more than sit and talk with a friend, then head on over to Mount Pleasant Memorial Waterfront Park and take a walk across this landmark.

Frothy Beard Brewing Company

Sometimes you just need to have a beer with the guys or girls. Frothy Beard on Sam Rittenburg has the perfect laid back atmosphere to hang out and drink good beer. Plus, they have old school video games and their playlist is always on point. And if you get hungry, Zombie Bob’s Pizza is in the house to satisfy your cravings.
