Fuel Restaurant
One of my favorite warm weather spots near Midtown is a relatively new restaurant/bar called Fuel. It's located on the corner of Rutledge and Cannon, which is just two blocks from Midtown. The building was an old gas station, and the owners have given a nod to the building's history by incorporating a vintage filling station inspired theme into the design for the renovations. It sounds strange, but it's really cool. The interior of the restaurant is wide open in the summer, and lets a lot of breeze in. There are some tables and a bar inside, but I've sat outside every time I've been there. The back patio is amazing because you feel miles away from the heart of the city. They've put a large patio in, and done a privacy fence around the whole area, and added some nice landscaping. The result is that the street noise is almost completely blocked, and it almost feels like a remote tropical garden. There are lots of tables outside. Some are covered by a big open roof, and some are open to the sky. They have a great bocci court, too, for those of us who like a little friendly competition while enjoying our beverages of choice.
The menu is Carribbean inspired (I love the fish tacos), and they also grind the beef for their burgers in-house. The prices are really reasonable for downtown Charleston, too. They have nightly Happy Hour specials, and they have a Fuel beer on tap, which is $2 all the time. They have about 15 different wines, and you can get all of them by the glass. I definitely recommend checking it out on a warm night. It's a great place to go with friends or on a casual date. For more info, including the full menu, go to Fuel's website.--
