Where to Drink Margaritas in Charleston This Spring | Eater

"A proper night out in Charleston isn’t quite complete without a stop into Republic Garden and Lounge, particularly for the bachelorette parties parading through this bustling part of town. Candle lanterns hang from the ceiling of the outdoor bar while cobalt suede couches and glimmering chandeliers fill the inside. There’s an extravagant charm here — so charming that Republic is the setting of a popular reality show about its staff. The Upper King Margarita with tequila and a splash of orange juice is bright, citrusy, and sour in all the right ways, keeping the crowds buzzy on the dance floor where some of the city’s most popular DJs spin sets late into the early morning. While Republic is more known for its party ambience, it’s stocked with a bar bites menu and an afternoon happy hour as well." - Kayleigh Ruller
