The Rarebit

As 2025 comes to an end, we find ourselves closing a chapter that has meant more to us than words can express.

It’s  hard to believe it’s been 13 years since we realized our vision of a cocktail bar inside of a dog track in 1962, fittingly named The Rarebit🐇.

Our goal was to create a place that was as stylish as it was comfortable, with cocktails that would fit the era and food that would rival the best diners in the world.

Businesses rarely know what they will become known for, but it was the Moscow Mules that put us on the map as much as our chicken and waffles.  It seemingly became a right of passage to leave with one of our mugs👜. We scratched our heads for months before accepting it as flattery and “good marketing”.

For many years, it wasn’t a night out without stopping by for a mule or a late night breakfast served up by our incredible staff.  We can’t name each and every one of you here, but please know how grateful we are that you chose to be a part of our dream.

The Rarebit was more than just a bar or restaurant, it was and is a family.  Nothing lasts forever, no matter how great, but the memories and friendships made here will last a lifetime.  We are so honored to have been a part of everyone’s journey, and we hope that Charleston will always keep a small place in its heart for a spot that meant so much to so many, especially us.  

Happy New Year everyone, and take it easy!  We’ll see you around❤️
