Indulge in Champagne, caviar pairings, and coastal Italian-inspired sips in the heart of Charleston — a perfect prelude to your evening.
Summer in Charleston unfolds with an effortless elegance. Sunlit afternoons stretch into golden evenings, and sea-kissed breezes drift through historic streets. The lingering light invites you to slow your pace and savor each moment. At Zero George, the season is best embraced in true European fashion: aperitivo in hand, meaningful conversation, and nowhere else to be.
Tucked behind wrought-iron gates in the heart of downtown, The Caviar Bar at Zero George offers an elevated prelude to any Charleston evening. Here, Southern sophistication meets aperitivo culture. Each glass of grower Champagne or crisp white Burgundy pairs beautifully with an indulgent selection of caviar.
Whether seated beneath the palmetto-framed piazza or at the marble-topped bar, this ritual encourages more than just a toast. It invites conversation and connection, allowing for a leisurely unfolding of the evening ahead.

Coastal Aperitivo, Reimagined at Costa
For those who crave coastal Italian flair, the aperitivo experience continues at Costa — Easton Porter Group’s seafood-focused restaurant located downtown at The Jasper. Inspired by the breezy charm of the Italian Riviera, Costa’s menu celebrates pristine seafood and fresh flavors. The beverage program centers on the art of the aperitivo — the cherished Italian pre-dinner ritual.
Settle in with a perfectly balanced spritz or a chilled glass of Vermentino. Allow the rhythm of a Charleston summer night to take hold. Whether you choose a crudo to complement your sip or let the evening evolve into a multi-course affair, Costa offers an experience like no other. It embodies the spirit of rilassato yet refined coastal dining. Every moment feels as effortless as an evening on the Amalfi Coast.
