Boathouse East Bay

The Boathouse on East Bay’s culinary lore starts with our “Simply Fresh Seafood” in an array of preparations, our delicious steaks and mouth-watering chef's specialties. The restaurant's spacious setting allows room for a handsome marble serpentine raw bar where fresh seafood and Charleston’s best sushi are served daily. Dine in our vast, open-air dining room or on our enclosed, climate-controlled patio. In February 1999, a 150-year-old warehouse on East Bay Street in downtown Charleston became home to the Boathouse on East Bay, the second of our current three Boathouse Restaurants. In keeping with the more sophisticated architecture of historic Charleston, East Bay is a more upscale version of her island sister, the Boathouse at Breach Inlet. Brazilian cherry, aged mahogany, teak and heart pine were selected for the restaurant's interior, mirroring some of the finest aspects of the wooden boats that once graced Charleston Harbor. The walls are dressed with sails, oars and captivating black and white photographs of local nautical history. From the ceiling, row boats have been tastefully hung. Two very large paintings were commissioned, depicting the 1929 Carolina Yacht Club Regatta with Castle Pinckney in the background.
