"This prized Esplanade Avenue patio has a new, British-accented identity as of November 2024, a creation by acclaimed Charleston restaurateur Brooks Reitz. The Bell is a very plaid, emphatically masculine pub and restaurant decked out with Union Jack paraphernalia, rich fabrics, and quirky mementos, serving a menu of classic American bar snacks (like shrimp cocktail, smoked fish dip, and broiled oysters) and a few UK favorites (like carrot and onion bhaji, fishmonger’s pie, and a crispy fish sandwich). Keep an eye out for the oyster bar pop-up on the patio." - Clair Lorell
