TRAVEL POST 🚗 Another Charleston, SC gem: philosophersandfoolschs! This cozy spot is Charleston’s ONLY bookstore bar and is independently owned and operated by Jenny Ferrara and Michael Bourke. The shop was recently recognized by USAToday as a top 10 Best Indie Bookstore and has become a favorite hangout in the Cannonborough-Elliotborough neighborhood. 📚 Behind the bar, you’ll find a rotating selection of wine, beer, and n/a selections plus snack options like popcorn, a pickle trio, and a cheese plate. They also have a fantastic lineup of weekly events, including bingo, trivia nights, guest lectures, and Sunday’s “Crosswords & Croissants” meetup.
We absolutely loved chatting with and bonding over books with Jenny! As someone who loves to read (and eat and drink), this place is for me. ❤️ Thank you for having us in!
