A group of us went recently to this little event. I went in with zero expectations, which makes…read morethings easier to enjoy. The plot was a bit confusing, but I feel the actors did a great job. Yes, they want you to laugh and have a good time. That's the point! And yes, if you need a hard drink, you'll have to go to the hotel bar to get one. The food, well it needs serious work. But again, I did not come for the food. I came to have fun with my friends and enjoy a unique experience. And that is exactly what I got. I would recommend this show. I am even considering going back to see if I can play a bit part. Very interactive and engaging! For entertaining purposes five stars! My only warning is be careful who you sit next to as they be the killer!

It was hard to find much to like about The Dinner Detective experience. The actors and servers were…read moreall very nice and lovely people, but my goodness, the whole production was long and boring and the entire narrative of the murder mystery story was disjointed and made no sense -- and that was true even if you could hear what was being said, which was very difficult. The actors should have mics!! And the food wasn't much better. The tortilla chips that were on the table for an appetizer were stale, and the entrees were mediocre, which all would have been fine if the performance we were there to see was fun. We were a group of 8 and so spent quite a bit of money. It ended up not being worth the money, so we left after the 2nd act.

It's usually pretty organized and easy to get around, even during super packed events. My only issue is of course, pricing. Everything is crazy overpriced.

It's a decent haunt attraction located at Holy City Brewery…read more There's 3 tickets options: - general admission $20 - RIP access : includes expedited entry into haunted house , a beer and access to a separate seating area.$35 - Get Buzzed : you get a beer and a burger from Holy City Brewing plus a flash art tattoo from Stardust Tattoo Park Circle plus expedited entry into the haunted house and access to the separate seating area. $155 We did the RIP access. It was a Wednesday night sooo we later realized we didn't need the RIP access but of course they don't tell you that when you buy the tix . There was no line and the private seating area was a bit lame so we didn't even sit in there. I don't really recommend the "get buzzed" tour unless you want a tattoo ? Kind of a weird combo . Anyways , you can order a burger on your own independent of this ticket and not pay $100+ for it . Do general admission or RIP access. The haunted attraction itself was pretty good . We had a fun time walking thru it . Took us maybe 10-12 minutes to walk thru . There was a good bit of scare actors and the haunt did not heavily rely on animatronics. My favorite was the possum mask one of the actors was wearing lol . I definitely think this makes for a fun date night or night out with friends .

If you are attending the Spoleto Festival in Charleston, it's important to realize there are 2…read moredifferent festivals. There's the well known Spoleto Festival, then there's also the Piccolo Festival held at the same time. The Piccolo Festival hosts art and artists that are more regional in scope, whereas the main festival is International. But there's lots to experience at the Piccolo Festival. I particularly like the Early Music performances, which were spectacular. There are also literary events, dance, music, plus a juried show.

Hands down the best escape room I have ever done! We were a group of 7 to do the Egyptian adventure…read moreand wow was it fun. They were ready for us when we arrived. Quick introduction and away we were. This was super well done, and I loved that we needed to backtrack a few times because the clues we needed were behind us. The challenge level was just right and the staff gave us hints when we were badly stuck. Lots of jump scares too which was fun. We all had a great time, and everything was appropriate for a family as long as you don't mind some fake blood. Incredible attention to detail and design of the sets, and easily the largest escape room I have ever done in terms of square footage. Real hidden gem in the Charleston area. J.Ja

We had a good time. I went in a group of 4 people. We tried the Egypt and Future escape experience…read more I don't think that this was an easy experience to solve, so we definitely had to use our clues. We used up all of the time allotted. The staff mentioned that they change the themes often, so you can keep coming back for a different experience. 4 Stars

My husband and I attended the 2015 Charleston Food Film Festival last night at The Cedar Room at…read morethe Cigar Factory. It was our first time attending the event and it did not disappoint!! We arrived early for the VIP Access to Edible Adventure #14 where we were treated to yummy appetizers and drinks. Five short films were shown last night: Cuda, Cultured Craft Beer, Growing Local: Seeding a Dream, Sollo and Ain't That a Blessing. During each film, food and/or drinks are passed down each row. During Cuda, for example, samplings of the Cuda hotdog from Perfectly Frank's in Summerville were given out to each attendee. So you see the food on the screen and then you're eating it! Genius! After the films were complete, there were tons of samples availble from local breweries and restaurants including Coast, Twenty Six Divine, Closed for Business and more. We definitely are looking forward to attending again next year!

Along with some friends, I attended Friday night's Food Film Festival that was held at Growfood…read more They're planning to make it an annual event and I'd highly recommend attending the next one! I went with a couple of friends and we had the best time. It was a great event at a great venue. How many times have you watched a film (for me, it's the tv show Top Chef) and saw something that looked incredibly tasty and wished you could sample it? The idea of the Food Film Festival was born from that very desire. I went to Friday night's event which was called Edible Adventure #007: International Meal of Mystery. Some of the offerings weren't necessarily international per se (there were some films/food from Chicago and Canada) but we'll let that slide because honestly who cares when you're stuffing your face? For the price of a ticket (with a discount code it was $45), we got to watch about 8 short films (ranging from 45 seconds to around 12 minutes), beer and/or wine and a plethora of different foods to sample. While you're watching these films, there will come a pivotal time where you'll say to yourself "wow, that looks great. I wonder what that tastes like." And then, right on cue, out comes the food and you get to taste the very food you're watching on the screen. We enjoyed pretty much everything we were offered, from the savory pocket pies to the amazing doughnuts, all of which were either prepared on site or flown in overnight, with a lot of the food being served by the same people featured in these films. The big showstopper meal of the night was the ramen that was made by the star of the documentary, Ramen Dreams. This was real authentic ramen made by a ramen master flown in from Japan. This is not the $1 ramen that got us through our college years. It looked amazing and tasted even better! I missed out on going to Saturday night's event but if it was anything like Friday night's, I'm sure it was just as great. These unique kinds of events is what makes us so fortunate to be living in a place like Charleston. I thought it was such a fun experience and can't wait to see what they'll bring us next year!

The music was fantastic and so much fun. There was great art, comedians (which I didn't get a chance to see - next time), food trucks, dancers and of course - The Vogue OFF!!! I can't even begin to explain how much fun the Vogue Off was. What an impressive, fun group of dancers. The only thing I wish they had was mixed drinks instead of just wine or beer. But the event was so amazing, even in the cold, I'd go even if they had nothing to drink. Definitely worth the money. I can't wait for spring.

I always love seeing the new artisans, artists, and performers come together and do what they love! The music was great as usual. Garage Cuban Band added a wonderful Cuban flare to the event! They were so good! It made me wish I was eating Cuban food while listening to their mellow vibe. The comedy line ups might have been the most popular event of the night. Before every set there was a line outside the door! Maybe it was because it was freezing outside and people needed warmth, or maybe it was because of hilarious comedians like Jeremy McLellan and Dusty Slay who filled the room with constant laughter. I really enjoyed the self-portrait exhibit. Where anyone could come in, look into a mirror and draw themselves. Although I didn't draw myself, It was really interesting to see how others perceived themselves. Simply becoming designs had some amazing original vintage inspired jewelry! My brother in law was able to buy a unique one of a kind necklace for his girlfriend. The fire pits were such a great idea for such a cold night. Everyone was able to enjoy all of the performances outside while still keeping warm. I always appreciate the Yelp Booth with their fun photo booth and check in swag. One thing I really wish is that they had more food venue options rather than the same ones every time. I know it's a small lot and you can't fit many trucks but it would be cool to have a more options. I also would like to see more places to sit outside. I still really enjoyed this event and will probably be back again!
