Grit vodka and early bird coffee vodka.
Amy Lauren S.

Nestled beside Avondale Wine and Cheese, Cannon Distillery is a hidden gem of West Ashley. I learned about them a few years ago when they hosted a brunch and cocktail event. Due to COVID-19, they haven't hosted events lately, but you can still stop in for a tasting and quick tour. When we visited, the employees mentioned they plan to move to a larger facility on James Island in 2021, which will let them host outdoor events once it's safer. I've tried several styles of Cannon Distillery vodka, but my favorite is the Chai Noon flavor and the Barrel Aged Early Bird (coffee vodka). My husband likes the grit vodka, and we bought several bottles to make cocktails at home. You can buy Cannon Distillery's vodkas in local ABC stores, but I recommend buying directly from this distillery if possible. You can see the process, chat with the distillers, and skip the middleman of distributors and retailers.

Very cute distillery in Avondale. Friendly workers and yummy cocktails. The bookcase door is very cool! I've visited twice now, once for a tour and cocktail tasting and once for a special event they were having. The cocktails were perfectly balanced each time. My only wish is that they could be open later but I'm suspecting this is related to laws.

We had a great time when we popped in on Saturday night. The bartender was great and informative. He had his hands full as he was the only person in there making drinks and answering questions about their vodkas. He explained that because they're a distillery, patrons are only allowed to consume a certain amount of alcohol on the premises. We ended up doing the tasting for $4 and we were told we could have 3 additional cocktails each. All cocktails are $4. There's a menu on the wall that shows which type of vodka is used in the drinks. The bartender explained what was in each drink. We tried the Tic Tac, Mule, and Coconut Mocha. The drinks are on the smaller side but the price is reflective of that. My favorite was the coconut mocha and I would spend all available alcohol on it. They make their own ginger beer and the Mule was great too - just a hint of a spicy kick. Manfriend also tried the Tic Tac which he liked. I thought it tasted like orange juice and grapefruit juice mixed together so I wasn't into it. They do tours as well. The decor is awesome and I'm happy to have this addition to Avondale. Hours are Wednesday - Saturday (I think) 1-7pm.

At a first glance The Schoolhouse appears to be an unassuming business space with rented out…read moreoffices. Once within you see it's not just local vendors but a healing space featuring wellness studios, esthetician services, and meeting places where folks gather for events from yoga to presentations. There's a water refill station inside and a great restroom with sinks available indoor and out of the actual restroom. I noticed some meeting places as well with transparent walls good for community gatherings. Some notable places I've seen are The Sanctuary, DandiLion wax studio, and the Charleston Wellness Studio. Upon reading another Yelp review I loved they offer a venue space as well which would be great for showers or weddings perhaps! Something to look into. Another wonderful addition to the Schoolhouse is the picturesque garden next door. Enjoyed the flowers and greenery before embarking on my next task. Very peaceful space.

The Schoolhouse is a fairly new event center, I believe it has been about a year? More or less,…read morecould be wrong. At any rate, we were looking for a spot to hold our mom's 70th birthday surprise party. We were struggling with finding availability on a Saturday afternoon - church reception halls were booked, other venues were booked, and then other venues just wanted to charge too much for a birthday party (charging us Charleston wedding prices!!). The Schoolhouse actually did not come up in our search, but was recommended to my sister. My sister immediately contacted the Schoolhouse to check availability. They have a couple different rooms that are rentable, depending on size. We didn't need anything too big, so we were able to rent out the Music Room. Small room good for 30-40 people. They supply the chairs/tables with the rental. On the day of, Heather was there to meet us, and gave me her number in case we had any questions. I will say, the only issue was that there was another group that had a function going on in the next room and they had come in and taken one of our tables. So we had to take it back! Not a big issue, since Heather took charge, but it just seems like people don't understand that multiple events can go on. That is the biggest issue that I see with this space, is that people don't understand that multiple events can go on. Obviously, if you are the one renting it, then you know it, but your guests do not. So as we were setting up, we had the doors open so that we could bring stuff in from the cars. Well there were some random people that just walked into and through our room. Do you not see us setting up? Then eventually two people came in and were on the floor giving massages (what in the world??) - not sure if they were tenants or from the other party. Again, do you not see us setting up? We told them we had this space reserved, and they were willing to leave. Then I guess the party next door did not bring enough supplies, coming in and asking us for cups. No, we bought these for our party. I wouldn't say this is a fault to the event center, but a fault to guests/other people renting, to give other people common courtesy. We did end up closing all doors once we got everything inside from all of the cars, and had no other issues. My only suggestion would be to maybe have signs in place by the rental facility showing that "this room is privately reserved today, please do not enter". During the actual party with the room filled, it did get very warm. It was at least a cool night so that we opened the door to the outside to let cool air in. I'm not sure if we knew how to adjust the temperature or if we could adjust it, but that was our means of just letting the building be and letting cool air in. Also, there is ample parking in front and in back of the building. So your guests do not have to worry about having to park and walk or to pay for parking. Overall, I would definitely recommend this space for a party - reasonably priced, with a great setup on how much space you actually need.

I visited Old Town Creek County Park for a Wine Down Wednesday hosted by Charleston County Parks…read moreand Recreation. It was a great event with three types of wine, a food truck, and live music. The event sold out, but I'm glad the participant count was limited so everyone was able to socially distance under the shade trees. All park employees and workers wore masks, and participants wore masks when getting wine or food. I saw (and used) several hand sanitizer stations too. Be careful not to miss the entrance, as the park isn't obvious from the road, but as soon as you drive down the avenue of oaks, you'll know you're somewhere special. The park is beautiful and has a dock with a gorgeous view. This park is normally closed to the public and only hosts special events or private parties. I wish CCPRC hosted more public events there or opened it on a regular basis. I'd love to come out here and have a picnic under a shade tree and just walk around.

The property is not open to the public but instead is used for special events. Wine Down Wednesday is how I was introduced to the park and I immediately knew this was a special place as I was ushered in by the towering trees driving through the majestic avenue of oaks. We had a blast at Wine Down Wednesday enjoying the live music , views and atmosphere. This would be a great place to host an event and I can't wait to visit again !
