Events

Miracle at The Gin Joint
For the month of December, get into the holiday spirit at The Gin Joint as it transforms into Miracle — a holiday-themed cocktail pop-up bar. There are lights, decorations, and a menu filled with holiday drinks including "Bad Santa," "Jingle Ball Nog," and a "Nice and Naughty" shot. The Miracle concept is popping up around the country, and lucky for Charleston, we also get to celebrate in style.

Dec. 2–4, Jubilee
Garden & Gun magazine celebrates its fourth annual Jubilee this weekend at Charles Towne Landing. The event features a mix of sporting events, shopping, food, music, art, and more. There are dog-training demonstrations, a fly-fishing camp, and dinners featuring chefs Linton Hopkins and Mike Lata.

Dec. 4, The Get Down Pop-Up
A few of King Street's hottest food and beverage teams come together for a special pop-up — The Get Down. The event turns HoM into a "Baltimore nightclub vibe" this Sunday with head bartender from The Belmont Joey Goetz serving drinks and chef de cuisine Vandy Vanderwalker from The Ordinary serving hors d'oeuvres. There is a $5 cover with entertainment by DJs Joel Tarpin and Jeff ET.

Openings

Avila
A former food truck, Avila has opened a brick-and-mortar spot in downtown Charleston. Serving Venezuelan cuisine, the menu features items like cachapas (sweet corn pancake stuffed with cheese), patacon (crispy plantain sandwich with various fillings), and carne al coco (pork skewers with a sweet coconut sauce).

Goat.Sheep.Cow. North
The popular cheese-centric retail store Goat.Sheep.Cow has opened a second space in NoMo near Butcher & Bee and Tattooed Moose that is double is size and scope. Beautifully designed, the space is filled with cheese and charcuterie cases, wine, and other accoutrements. Patrons can also order food such as sandwiches, salads, and other fresh bites.
