Lefty’s Place at Short Story Brewing – 186 Summers St. Pair your craft beer with one of&nbsp;<a href="https://shortstorybrewing.square.site/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lefty’s Pizzas</a>. Made in-house, the crust is thick and fluffy with a crispy and crunchy outer layer. The pies are finished off with a top layer of marinara. Other menu items include pepperoni balls, calzones, and salads. Add garlic sauce to any order to make the meal complete. We recommend ordering pepperoni balls, the Betty White and Room to Roam. Adelphia Sports Bar &amp; Grill – 218 Capitol St. One of Charleston’s most popular sports bars is open late and always airing your favorite games. In addition to award-winning chicken wings,&nbsp;<a href="https://adelphiasportsbar.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Adelphia</a>&nbsp;offers a variety of bar food with a Greek twist.Who doesn’t love fried cheese? Adelphia’s most famous appetizer is Deep Fried Feta! They take a large piece of fresh feta cheese, fry it, serve it on a warm pita with a tomato salad with a drizzle of Yia Yia’s dressing. If you prefer to stick to America food, try one of the burgers or entrees. Fife Street Brewing – 180 Summers St. A menu full of grilled cheese, yes please! There is a reason grilled cheese sandwiches are one of the best sandwiches of all time. And now you can enjoy an elevated version while sipping on Charleston-brewed beer.
