Charleston is no stranger to culinary creativity, but now the spotlight is turning to a dish that’s often overlooked when it comes to craftsmanship: the chicken wing. On Saturday, September 13th, Flat & Drum Wings will officially open its doors, offering a bold menu that puts wings center stage and promises to satisfy both classic cravings and adventurous palates.

More Than a Wing Spot

Flat & Drum is built on the idea that wings should be more than an afterthought they deserve their own dedicated stage. Here, the age old debate between flats and drums isn’t just acknowledged, it’s celebrated. Guests can embrace their loyalty to either side, knowing that whichever they choose will be served crisp, juicy, and full of flavor.

A Menu with Wings That Sing

The heart of Flat & Drum is its menu, carefully crafted to give every type of wing lover something to cheer about.

• Dry Rubs: For those who prefer bold, seasoning-forward bites, the dry rub selection is second to none. Think Cajun spice with a Southern kick, fiery Jamaican Jerk with just the right amount of heat, and Old Bay—a nod to coastal flavor traditions. Each rub clings to perfectly cooked wings, offering a crispy, crave-worthy finish.

• Specialty Flavors: Flat & Drum is also pushing the boundaries with inventive combinations that you won’t find anywhere else. The lineup includes Havana Heat, a smoky Cuban inspired flavor with a peppery punch; Mambo Madness, a sweet and spicy sauce inspired by D.C.’s go to wing flavor; and Pineapple Riddim, a tropical, tangy glaze that hits all the right notes. These specialty wings are the perfect choice for adventurous eaters looking to explore new flavor profiles.

• Wet Sauces: Of course, no wing menu would be complete without the classics. Flat & Drum delivers on that front with saucy favorites like rich, smoky BBQ, savory-sweet Teriyaki, and creamy, indulgent Garlic Parmesan. Each one is a crowd pleaser, offering the sticky, finger-licking experience that wing lovers crave.

The menu is rounded out with shareable starters like crispy fries, collard greens, mac and cheese, and fresh salads to balance out the feast. Whether you’re looking for a snack with a cold drink or a full on meal with friends, there’s something for every appetite.
