Tonight is the series premiere of Bravo’s brand spanking new Southern Charm spin-off series Southern Hospitality! The show promises a Southern spin on the network’s popular Vanderpump Rules show as it documents the behind-the-scenes drama between staff members at Leva Bonaparte’s Republic Garden & Lounge in Charleston, South Carolina.
Republic is actually owned by both Leva Bonaparte and her husband, Lamar Bonaparte. It is one of four restaurants belonging to the Southern power couple, but Republic is definitely the crown jewel of the Bonaparte empire.
If you’re considering catching some of the drama in person, and you’re wondering just how much it will cost you, I looked up the drink and food menus from Republic and posted them below. Not only will the information help Charleston party-goers budget appropriately, it will also satiate the curiosity of novice Bravo foodies like myself! (I blame Top Chef and Below Deck!)
This article may even be of historical, economical, and anthropological significance a decade from now when Southern Hospitality Season 10 airs and people are curious about how things used to be. It’s possible, right?

Republic Garden & Lounge Drink Menu
As you might imagine with a super swanky restaurant and club, Republic’s drink menu offers several opportunities to drop some SERIOUS coin! You can go the low brow route with a $5 bottle of Michelob Ultra, or you can loosen the Chanel purse strings and splurge for a $700 bottle of Don Julio 1942 tequila!
For those patrons wishing to distinguish themselves as king and/or queen of the Republic, you can opt to “ACE the Night” for $2,000. That package serves up to 15 people and includes a magnum of Armand De Brignac “Ace of Spades”, unlimited Red Bull and Fiji water, and your choice of (2) Tito’s, Bulleit or Avion Silver!
