9Pmon (BRAVO)

Leva Bonaparte manages Charleston’s very own “it” crowd — better known as her larger-than-life staff at Republic Garden & Lounge. Leva and husband, Lamar, own four restaurants along the city’s famous King Street, but Republic is the crown jewel of their kingdom. It’s the place to go for pleasure, business or both. The team are forced to compete for prime positions and the best tips the city’s nightlife has to offer.
