McCrady's Restaurant, in the historic McCrady's Tavern and Long Room complex, has been at the forefront of the Charleston epicurean renaissance since Executive Chef Sean Brock took the helm in 2006.

The original four-story Georgian manse, which now serves as the main tavern building, was constructed in 1767. Edward McCrady, a Charleston barber and Revolutionary War veteran, purchased the building in 1778 and began using it as a tavern. After a brief period of British imprisonment in St. Augustine from 1780-1781, McCrady purchased the adjacent lot and built Two Unity Alley. In 1788, he connected the two buildings with The Long Room, a 75-foot long by 25-foot foot wide two-story double piazza. Over the years, the Long Room has hosted many banquets and performers, including the 1791 Society of Cincinnati banquet for George Washington.

Following McCrady’s death in 1801, the tavern changed hands several times. In 1884, it was converted into a warehouse, and in 1913, the Daggett Printing Company purchased the building for use as a print shop. In the early 1980s, the McCrady building was remodeled by the architectural firm Bentel & Bentel for use as a restaurant.

Sean Brock was the recipient of the prestigious James Beard Best Chef Southeast award in 2010. Prior to McCrady's, he was the executive chef at the Hermitage Hotel in Nashville and the executive sous chef under Chef Walter Bundy of Lemaire Restaurant at Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, VA. He began his career as chef tournant under Chef Robert Carter at nearby Peninsula Grill in 1999.

Chef de Cuisine Jeremiah Langhorne has been running the kitchen at McCrady's, where he worked his way up starting as a line cook. Langhorne has also spent time in the kitchens of John Haywood's OXO in Charlottesville and Rene Redzepi's Noma in Denmark.

McCrady's Restaurant, in the historic McCrady's Tavern and Long Room complex, has been at the forefront of the Charleston epicurean renaissance since Executive Chef Sean Brock took the helm in 2006.

The original four-story Georgian manse, which now serves as the main tavern building, was constructed in 1767. Edward McCrady, a Charleston barber and Revolutionary War veteran, purchased the building in 1778 and began using it as a tavern. After a brief period of British imprisonment in St. Augustine from 1780-1781, McCrady purchased the adjacent lot and built Two Unity Alley. In 1788, he connected the two buildings with The Long Room, a 75-foot long by 25-foot foot wide two-story double piazza. Over the years, the Long Room has hosted many banquets and performers, including the 1791 Society of Cincinnati banquet for George Washington.

Following McCrady’s death in 1801, the tavern changed hands several times. In 1884, it was converted into a warehouse, and in 1913, the Daggett Printing Company purchased the building for use as a print shop. In the early 1980s, the McCrady building was remodeled by the architectural firm Bentel & Bentel for use as a restaurant.

Sean Brock was the recipient of the prestigious James Beard Best Chef Southeast award in 2010. Prior to McCrady's, he was the executive chef at the Hermitage Hotel in Nashville and the executive sous chef under Chef Walter Bundy of Lemaire Restaurant at Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, VA. He began his career as chef tournant under Chef Robert Carter at nearby Peninsula Grill in 1999.

Chef de Cuisine Jeremiah Langhorne has been running the kitchen at McCrady's, where he worked his way up starting as a line cook. Langhorne has also spent time in the kitchens of John Haywood's OXO in Charlottesville and Rene Redzepi's Noma in Denmark.

McCrady's was featured on the Travel Channel's Bizarre Foods America with Andrew Zimmern. McCrady's has been a regular selection on the EATER 18 list.
