Islander 71 Fish House and Deck Bar, situated next to the Isle of Palms Marina overlooking the Intracoastal Waterway, officially opened on May 14, 2022. This laidback restaurant and bar is a nod to the easy-going beach life of IOP in the 1970’s. Islander 71 offers Southern cuisine with an emphasis on seafood, boat drinks, and cold beer. Charleston Guru stopped by to get a look inside this new waterfront destination.
