"Bartenders Choice" cocktail experience is so neat. Definitely try it. It's very dark, so older patrons will need their flashlight to read the menu. Cocktails were well-made, staff was informed and friendly, and the place is just cool as hell.

One of the best bars we have EVER been to! I have a degree in Hospitality and I can tell you this is the place to go whether it be for food or drinks! Kayla is the best bartender ever, give that girl a raise!

This place is so intimate and has such a cozy vibe. We visited in the evening by candlelight and it had a really romantic feel.
We tried a few different drinks, and they were all creative and unique. I like the "Something Different" section of their menu where they highlight creative pairings.
Highly recommended for a date night or catching up with a friend.

Excellent cocktail bar in Charleston. Knowledgeable and friendly mixologists, fully stocked bar, amazing signature cocktails or have them mix a special one for you.

Excellent cocktails. Highly recommend the pretzels. Our server, I wish I could remember her name, she was fantastic! We’re in town visiting for a few days and she gave some solid suggestions for good bars and restaurants!

One of my favorite cocktail bars in the city. Cool atmosphere, talented mixologists, and delectable and beautiful cocktails. Get their Bartender’s Choice: you pick 2 words from a list of adjectives and then mix up something just for you!

It's been too long for a return to one of the best cocktail joints in Charleston!
Tonight we sat at the bar and it was so much fun watching them make all the different drinks.

If you like gin or just great cocktails in general I highly suggest visiting this spot. Keep in mind they close around 10 pm on weeknights so I would suggest going a little early so that you have time to try all that they offer. We sat at the bar and had the best experience with the bartender. You could tell he had a ton of experience and really enjoyed his job which we appreciated even though we came in about 30 minutes to close. I got a unique drink that I would suggest to anyone. It was the Good Fortune Friend and my husband chose the bartenders choice where you pick two words like sweet and bubbly and they will make a drink. It’s soo good! I plan to go back for sure!

We really enjoyed our experience here. We were able to be seated on the patio without a wait. The staff was super informative and friendly. I ordered the Bartenders Choice & went with smokey & sweet. The bartender whipped up a Haitian divorce cocktail, amazing. Hubby ordered the Bottle Service, which was a great blend of their gins brought to the table in cute bottle & poured into a martini glass. He also had a glass of ice with garnishes to choose from. The drunken seafood bowl & pimento cheese were outstanding!
