A Virginia-based restaurant with a bawdy-sounding name is bringing a new venue to downtown Charleston.
Well Hung Vineyard will open in February in a three-story building at 49 S. Market St. across from the City Market, according to owner Anthony Herring.
The restaurant has two locations in Virginia. Herring opened a restaurant in Gordonsville, near the company's base outside Charlottesville, in 2019. He launched another location in Roanoke in February.

Herring bought the business in 2016. It started as a vineyard near Charlottesville in 2008 by three women.
The restaurant's wines come from a winery in the Old Dominion that make them from grapes grown in Washington, Oregon and California.
Herring called the menu "eclectic" and said it will be tweaked every three months. Offerings include salads, sandwiches, pizzas, shrimp and grits, and various other dishes.
The Market Street site will include some seafood choices the restaurants in Virginia do not offer.
The restaurant will be open seven days a week with brunch on weekends. The dining room will include the bottom two floors while the third floor will serve as an office.
