One night only, and then it was gone.

Highlands Bar & Grill opened its doors last week for a rare aperitivo hour, bringing Marie Stitt and Edward Crouse of babas on cannon & babas on meeting & babas on wentworth home to the bar where Marie grew up. She found the ritual studying food in Northern Italy and built a life around it in Charleston. For one evening, she brought it back to her father Frank’s bar, alongside Pardis and Weston Stitt.

The night’s over, but the ritual doesn’t have to be. We built a full guide to hosting your own aperitivo hour at home, three recipes, no reservation required. Link in bio.
