Ribaut Social Club is a restaurant and social space for Beaufort locals and visitors to mingle over cocktails and impeccable regional cuisine.
Our aim is to capture the incorrigible spirit and convivial atmosphere of the original Ribaut Club, established at the Anchorage in 1891. In its heyday, the Club hosted performances, grand parties, dances and even gambling—a raucous getaway from buttoned-up social strictures of the time. Today, guests can cocktails and dinner with unrivaled water views or a sophisticated brunch surrounded by 300 years of Beaufort history.

  • High Wire Distillery Bourbon Dinner

    US$130.00 per person

    18 Mar 2025 only
    We are thrilled to have High Wire Distillery from Charleston partner with us for our first ever bourbon dinner on March 18th at 5pm at the Ribaut Social Club! Founded by Scott Blackwell & Ann Marshall, High Wire was born of a desire to explore a range of flavor that might be found in lost and forgotten grains. Their roots in farming and organic baking drive them to approach distilling with the palate and curiosity of adventurous cooks; the exuberance of enthusiastic eaters — and the devotion to regenerative practices like no-till farming and seed preservation. It’s all part of their mission to enhance flavor, celebrate farmers, preserve rural lands, and make drinking an agricultural act. Alexander Helms, High Wire's Head Distiller and Brand Ambassador will be joining us to present each bourbon and cocktail that will be paired with Chef Rob's latest creations. Each course will include a taste of bourbon neat and a cocktail. The menu with bourbon pairs are as follows, cocktail pairings are coming soon: Amuse: Steak Tartar Crostini, Creamy Sherry Dressing, Capers, Cured Egg Yolk, Caviar Paired with Jimmy Red Sherry Cask Finished Bourbon 1st Course: Fried Green Tomato, Peppadew aioli, Bourbon Peach Chutney, local Greens Paired with Jimmy Red Classic Straight Bourbon 2nd Course French Onion Slider Red Onion Jam, Gruyere cheese, Bourbon slab Bacon, garlic butter toasted bun Paired with Jimmy Red Bottled-in-Bond Bourbon 3rd Course Smoked Pork belly Grits Cake, Sriracha Whiskey Glaze, Napa Slaw, Crispy Shallots Paired with Benton’s Smoked Jimmy Red Bourbon Dessert: Whiskey Strawberry Glaze, White Chocolate Mousse, Sponge cake, Chocolate Balsamic, Pistachio Crumble Paired with Revival Abruzzi Rye Whiskey

    We had a wonderful experience in the dining room of this great home, now hotel. If the weather is nice, sit on the porch overlooking the marsh and the harbor. The menu is limited but everything was delicious.

    The restaurant is in a stunning setting of one of the very old buildings in the city and across from the water. The service and food were exceptional. We were a party of four and seated next to a front window. Most highly recommended establishment!

    The setting is charming - like being in an old mansion home and eating in the dining room. The food and service were wonderful. It's not a large menu, but we all found something delicious. The tables are an ok distance apart. The evening we were there, other diners were quiet, and the ambience was nice, more of an intimate setting so that you wouldn't expect a large rowdy group! I think in warmer weather, drinks and or dinner can be on the front porch and upper porch, which overlooks the river with sailboats randomly anchored - so Beaufort!

    The place is lovely. Sarah our server did an exceptional job . The food was good. I had the filet mignon Oscar. I had requested it medium rare to the rare side and it was definitely medium. That was a disappointment. We ordered a bottle of wine that was very good.
