Such a great independent bookshop, with very friendly staff and some lovely touches such as ‘blind date with a book’. I did the ghost tour with Brian the night before Halloween and it was brilliant. I’m not ‘into ghosts’ by any stretch of the imagination, but Brian is clearly a very gifted storyteller and entwined Charleston history and ghost stories with amazing skill and enthusiasm - I learned a lot. A rendition of an Edgar Allan Poe poem at the end was especially moving. He also made some great recommendations for photo opportunities. I was gripped for the entire tour and would definitely recommend, even for ghost sceptics!
We did a ghost tour and our guide, Bryan was exceptional! We went during Halloween weekend on a full moon so you can imagine it was pretty busy out but Bryan made sure we saw everything and had plenty of picture taking opportunities. Bryan is a masterful storyteller and our whole group had the best time. Highly recommend this tour group and the bookstore itself is charming.
In Charleston for work and as my custom for travel I always try to visit the local bookstores. Buxton did not disappoint. Great selection of books and great customer service. Highly recommend if you're in the area.
Must go if you’re on King Street. Beautiful and well-organized shop in the heart of downtown! Employees are friendly and helpful. They carry books of all genres for all ages. Small and mighty! And they have ‘blind date with a book’ specials; wrapped books which only give a brief synapsis at a discounted price. You could spend much time here!
As if I hadn't already fell in love with Charleston enough, this made it when better! This bookstore is beautiful and so cozy, the staff was so sweet, and they have a great selection of books. I was able to come across a signed copy of Where the Crawdads Sing and was over the moon! For any book lover, this is a must see place when in Charleston! Happy Reading 📚
Cute bookstore, lots of good books and gifts! Had a great time on the ghost tour with our enthusiast and knowledgeable guide Joe. What a fun and informative experience!
Joe did a fantastic job; personable, friendly, informative, and engaging. I’m a local, and had my out-of-town friends in tow– we all enjoyed the experience; seeing a different side of Charleston and learning about the history. Would definitely recommend!
Can't express enough how awesome of a ghost tour we had with Big Joe. Not only was he extremely well versed in Charleston history but his story telling skills and passion made the tour even better. Joe also did a fantastic job of connecting with everyone in the group in between stories. Highly recommend!
We used this for a party- had a blast! It had so many activities and even outdoor area. The bartenders were great and so friendly. The space was not only fun but beautiful. Would highly recommend for a party.
It was a beautiful studio unlike any others in town with interesting use of the space to display the artwork. I especially love the elephant in the room upstairs and the swing in front of the art work on the ground floor. I went back a few times duri

I stayed at The Pinch with my 2 yr old daughter for a girls weekend and we had the BEST experience! It feels like you are staying in a cozy apartment. Everything is clean and adorable. Loved the full kitchen, washer & dryer, breakfast in the morning,
Palmetto State CrossFit is the best box in the area! Everyone, from the owners to the members are so welcoming the minute you walk in. Tom and the other coaches like Hope and Chelsea are extremely knowledgeable in the movements and are always coachin
We are headed to Charleston next week and will stay at 86 Cannon for the 4th time. We are building a home in the area and have made this hotel our home away from home whenever we are in town. Not only is the property lovely, but the staff is beyond
