If you’re just tuning in– last month, we asked our readers to send us the most eligible bachelors + bachelorettes in Charleston. After sifting through nearly 100 applications, three couples were chosen by y’all’s votes to meet for a blind dinner date– courtesy of Prohibition.

So how did the dates go, you ask? We met each couple at the door to help introduce the pair– then left them to take it from there.

After their date, we followed up with a short Q+A asking how the evening went. Here are their post-date reactions.

The pairs:
💕 Shayna + Tim
💕 Kelsey + Juan
💕 Jessica + Andrew

Shayna: Nope, I kept it all a surprise!
Tim: No.

Kelsey: I did not google them. All my friends tried to, but had no luck finding him. I did tell him that!
Juan: No.

Jessica: Nope.
Andrew: No and no

How was your experience at Prohibition? Was it a good place for a first date? How was the food/service?

Shayna: Prohibition was excellent– food and service were awesome!

Jessica: For sure, you guys did a great job– everything was on point and the food and drinks were amazing. Thank you very much for the opportunity! I'll definitely be going back.
Andrew: Prohibition was great all around.

While all three couples said they had a fabulous time, some did disclose that they weren’t sure if there was a romantic connection. So while we won’t hold our breath for any wedding invitations– we’re glad to have at least help spark a potential flame.

P.S. If you haven’t already been to Prohibition– make sure you head to 547 King St. and check them out… you may just find love there waiting for you (and if not– at least a great cocktail and delicious bites). 💋😋
