A Charleston-based frosé bar and restaurant is opening Friday in South End
What could be better than rosé and a slushy mixed together? Charleston-based Co-Op Frosé and Eatery, a one-stop-shop that specializes in serving frosé and gourmet sandwiches, is coming to Charlotte’s South End on Friday, May 26.
What is frosé? The alcoholic beverage is made by mixing together rosé and ice for an adults-only slushy.
The shop first opened in Charleston’s Sullivan’s Island in 2012 and has expanded to Isle of Palms and Kiawah Island in South Carolina, and Nashville and Chattanooga in Tennessee. The Charlotte location will be the shop’s first North Carolina location.
The Charleston locations were awarded several Charleston City Paper’s “Best Of” Awards in 2022, including Best Frozen Drinks, Best Sullivan’s Island Happy Hour and Best IOP Restaurant.
To get an idea of what we have to look forward to, here are some menu items at the restaurant:
