Imminent Newcomer 5Church Displays Sign on Market Street

With a new sign, it's official that Charlotte-based 5Church will premiere in Charleston soon. The restaurant group has been hard at work renovating the former Mad River Bar & Grill space to better reflect the aesthetic seen in the original 5Church.

There will be work from local graffiti artist Ishmael on the walls, a reproduction of The Art of War on the ceiling, and lots of chandeliers. As for the menu, chef Jamie Lynch has spent the past year studying local flavors and products to adapt the Charlotte menu to a Charleston audience.

Check back soon for an opening date.
