Bar Rollins Now Open in Charleston | Eater Carolinas

"I visited the new natural-wine spot that officially opened its doors at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 24, at 194 Jackson Street in Charleston. The bar offers a selection of natural whites, reds, and rosés by the glass, a few non-alcoholic options, and snacks of meats and cheeses. Owners Chris Rollins and Jess Vande Werken spent the past few years drumming up excitement for their bottle selections with pop-ups featuring chefs like FIG’s Jason Stanhope, and they describe the place as a “wine dive bar.” The space is charmingly appointed with mismatched bistro furniture, exposed brick, and shelves of colorful bottles; Rollins and Werken renovated the room themselves (with help from architects and designers Evan Smith González and Diego A. González) after finding it down to the studs—Rollins even notes it was the first time he’d done limewash and painted floors and ceilings. It reads as a casual-yet-hip spot for friends to gather and sip selections handpicked by Rollins, and it’s open Thursday through Monday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., located on Jackson Street amid a wave of newer businesses reflecting rapid change in the East Side neighborhood." - Erin Perkins
