Here's a word from the owner, Aaron Siegal:
We're renovating a building with great history and our goal is to carry on the spirit of Bert's with emphasis on the community while providing a fun and lively place in which locals can call their own.
The first location, situated in West Ashley, was founded in 2006 and has won many awards like: Best BBQ, Best Ribs, Best Jazz and Blues Club, Coldest Beer and Best Bar Staff in Charleston.
So, check out their Web site as early spring draws nearer. It'll be a great addition to Sullivan's Island.
