Turns out we’re not the only ones who love Poe’s Tavern on Sullivan’s Island! In light of Edgar Allen Poe’s 200^th birthday, the Boston Globe featured an article all about the history of Edgar Allen Poe, specifically, his ties to the Lowcountry. Born in Boston in 1809, Poe lived at Fort Moultrie on Sullivan’s Island for about a year. A shrine to the writer, Poe’s Tavern encompasses all that is “Poe”.

From the menu items, to the décor and waitstaff t-shirts, the restaurant radiates the writer’s presence. The article also mentions “Poe-themed” street signs, and the island’s local library’s fascination with Poe. Makes me hungry and ready for summertime!
