LOCATION
our
Poogan’s Courtyard shares its roots with Poogan’s Porch, a beloved Charleston restaurant founded in 1976 and named after a lovable neighborhood dog who greeted guests from the porch. That same sense of welcome, history, and Southern hospitality continues here — just a few blocks away and with a little more space to celebrate.
We’re proud to be a part of the vibrant French Quarter. Iconic sights like Rainbow Row, Charleston City Market, and Waterfront Park are just a stone’s throw from our doorstep. And speaking of doorsteps, ours is located at:

Kind Words from Recent Hosts
- Rowan B.
Thank you so much to Zoe and the team at Poogan’s Courtyard for hosting our intimate June 3rd wedding! Zoe was incredibly helpful and kind throughout the process. Everything was beautifully done and not a single detail was missed.
All of our guests were in awe of the gorgeous venue and kept raving about the food! We felt that Poogan’s offered everything you could want in a downtown Charleston venue for a very reasonable price. Thank you again, we cannot recommend you all enough!"
- Anne K.
Poogan's Courtyard is a beautiful and spacious venue. We enjoyed a lovely cocktail hour in one section and then moved to the main area for a buffet meal that was enjoyed by everyone.
Our event host was always thinking one step ahead and our event was seamless and made for a great memory. Booking and plans were all made online, and my questions were all answered promptly. Every member of the Poogan's team that I encountered was happy to help make our event special and easy to plan."
