Pull up a seat at the bar and Meet Nate 🖤 a new member of The Establishment family, Nate has been with us for 7 months as a bartender and server. We were able to snag him when he landed in Charleston from Florida. His charisma and kindness are infectious, and his care and professionalism to service is unparalleled. We're lucky to have him as part of our little family. 🖤

Fun Fact: Nate has been a professional special effects makeup artist for 7 years in Miami. This past October, Nate hosted a Halloween special effects make up class for Universal Studios! 🧟‍♂️
