Whether you walk or run, come toast completing the best race in Charleston with a pint or pitcher of our handcrafted microbrews. New on tap this weekend is our seasonal beer, Citra Rye Pale Ale, which is a great race-finisher.

Our full food menu will also be available including Southend favorites such as Smoked Jumbo Chicken Wings, Southwestern Nachos, large Salads, and Southern favorites Fried Green Tomatoes and Southend Fried Chicken. Our famous Brick Oven Pizzas are perfect for sharing with your running team.
