East Coast Roadtrip: The Belmont

So prior to our trip, S read a feature in the Globe and Mail on Charleston.  The Belmont was listed as a hip place to grab a drink with great bartenders making great cocktails……and the writer was right.  What a great casual, low key spot.  Right on the main street (King Street) in Charleston, the bar front is very unassuming, dimly lit with only a small, simple sign.  Once in, the space is beautiful with a shiny ornate tin ceiling, walls lined with banquettes and a 1920s vibe.  The cocktails were definitely tasty and surprisingly, so was the food.  It wasn’t an extensive menu but we were hungry.  We ordered the pepperoni, smoked mozzarella and tomato sauce sandwich and for dessert, nutella and banana homemade pop tarts.  The pop tart was delicious, oozing with melted nutella and warm sliced bananas!
