Little Jack's Tavern

"The owners of Leon's decided to relocate their King Street coffee shop, Saint Albans, in favor of opening a new restaurant, Little Jack's, in its place. Little Jack's officially debuted in Charleston in 2016 and it's already proven to be a true throwback neighborhood tavern with dim lights; green and white checkered tablecloths; old-time-y photos of Frank Sinatra, boxing matches, and racing horses; super cold drinks; and an on-point menu. Try the crudité with avocado mousse, the old school gin “Kennel Club” martini, and the Tavern Burger (American cheese, sunchoke relish, sesame bun)."
