Keyla was the best waitress. Food was to die for. And best espresso martinis I've ever had

Found this place quite by accident and what a find it was . The blue crab fondue was so incredible, I had to ask for more bread . The order of shrimp cocktail were jumbo and the deviled eggs with caviar were out of this world .i can now recommend this place to all my friends !!! read more

The service was AMAZING!!! The meat and cheese plate is good and the chicken lollipops are very good. The steak frites is okay. If you are unsure of what drink to get just get the bartender special and have them surprise you. Perfect for a date night. read more

Bourbon N' Bubbles - lolipop Fried Chicken Lollipops and steak frites - Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Menu had looked great but not all the food was up to par for the price. The spritz you could tell weren't made fresh but the old fashions were good. The deviled eggs were served warm which was not so good. The gumbo was amazing as well as the Brussels sprouts. The layout of the rooms were very narrow and the tables were small. I would say this is a place for a drink and not much else. read more

The foods pretty good. The prices are a bit higher than expected for sure. The king crab dip and death by chocolate were great! We both had the gnocchi dish. It was ok but not out of the world. For the price. Not worth it. The server, while very nice, was very slow and we hardly saw her compared to others. The staff definitely need a more standard uniform. Some in jeans some in faux leather it's all over and looks bad. The interior of the restaurant is gorgeous but just doesn't match the food or service. It's a little pricey for me for what it is but I will be back for that dessert. read more

Bourbon N' Bubbles - Death By Chocolate Cake - Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

Service was excellent, ambiance was nice-different, good location near a lot of other food and bar options and parking was close. I got the Blanton's which was nice. The food, was just ok , the price-a little high for the quality of the food. My catch of the day-red snapper (so they said), was way over cooked and a little rubbery. Almost needed a knife to cut through the coating. Fish was hot, but the sauce and veggies underneath, cold. I returned my meal and they did take it off the bill. The deviled eggs were overcooked and the caviar was low quality and why, if most parties are 2/4 (usually an even number), would you serve an odd number of eggs -5. I will probably not go back. But it was on my list to try. read more

Bourbon N' Bubbles - Deviled eggs - Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

This could definitely have been an off night, because the bartenders clearly knew the people sitting next to us. But, the result of that was limited service. I had one old fashioned, which was simple and delicious. No notes. Wifey had a bubbles flight, which was just 3 glasses of bubbles. No presentation, and for a place called "Bourbon and Bubbles" I would think they would show off their bubbles. Would probably have been a 2 star if we hadn't ordered the baked crab dip. That was freaking fire. I literally scooped up the last bits with the spoon. Amazing. read more

We were lucky enough to land in Charleston for a three month stay right as restaurant week was happening. Now, I've been duped by restaurant week in the past in various places. Prix fixed menus that actually end up costing more money than if you were to order a la cart. However, Bourbon N' Bubbles HOOKED IT UP. A delicious 3 course meal for a decent price. First off, if you're a drinker and enjoy good whiskey, this place has the biggest selection of whiskeys I think I've ever seen. Service was very friendly and knowledgeable about the food, offering recommendations that were on point. The ambiance in the front room is dimly lit and romantic, giving vibes of a place from back in the prohibition times. The food was just outstanding. Chicken lollipops were crispy, tender, accompanied by a sauce I wanted to lick off the plate (I held back). Main coarse was the short rib - perfectly tender and delicious. For the dessert, the blueberry cobbler cheesecake just got the spot after a satisfying but not overly filling meal. Looking forward to checking this place out again for a romantic date night. Give it a shot; you won't be let down. read more

Went with my wife, as this restaurant was highly recommended. I ordered an espresso infused bourbon, as it was a novelty; could barely taste the bourbon...don't recommend it. We then each ordered the Wagyu Hamburger with the Truffle Fries...definitely decadent...loved it. The one annoying thing that happened, and I hope it doesn't spread, is that I was charged over $5 Credit Card Service Fee. I have traveled all over the world, eating at high end restaurants, and I have never been charged this. Credit Card companies used to police this practice...I guess they don't anymore...disappointing read more

Great place for date night! Love the ambience and the drinks. We easily got seats at the front bar. We were quickly attended to by the bartender, which was impressive given the fact that they only had ONE bartender working that night. Be warned, the drinks are definitely on the higher end when it comes to Kings Street, about $15/drink whereas you can grab one for about $10-13/drink. I opted for the Palmetto 75, which was pack full of grapefruit flavor. The boyfriend got the Howitzer and I'm pretty sure the bartender poured a double because there was lots of bourbon in the drink. read more

Bourbon N' Bubbles - trutti de cutita - Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

We stopped in here to grab a couple of drinks while walking thru the area. The kitchen unfortunately closed by the time we walked in, which was strange because it was still semi early in the night. Oh well, still grabbed some drinks. Cool bar, comfy seating. Just a strange atmosphere. The staff were a bit akward, they stood in front of the bar glaring at us the whole time, which would make sense if we were a rowdy group but it was just my husband and I having a drink before moving on to the next place. Probably won't be coming back here, honestly. Also, sidenote for any beer drinkers, no beer on tap. The beers they supposedly did have, they were out of at least three of them. read more

During our trip to Charleston we decided to dine with Bourbon N' Bubbles. This is a Black-Owned restaurant located in Upper Kings. They offer premier champagne and handcrafted cocktails. We sat alongside the bar and enjoyed watching the mixologist create the unique drinks. This is definitely a spot to checkout during Happy Hour! I recommend ordering the Champagne & Sparkling Flight. We were not too happy with our food selection. The King crab dip lacked flavor and our shrimp and grits didn't seem to have any seasoning. We were pretty disappointed with the food because this place was highly recommended. When were reached back out to our source about the food they said they recommended sticking with the drinks and appetizers only. read more

Ambiance is great! Nice lively spot to hangout with your friends or significant other. Drinks were cute/fun but the food was not the best. Had the skirt steak and it was a fail. Lacked in flavor and was not cooked well. I would certainly still come back for drinks but not food. If you plan on drinking multiple drinks o would suggest lining your stomach with something basic like fries, or eat before you come. MAKE RESERVATIONS on weekends. Gets super packed! read more

Great music. They were so kind to fit us in last minute. We had a big group for a Bach party too! We ordered a bunch of dishes and just shared family style. The king street crab dip is a MUST ORDER. It was delicious. The beef medallions were also good. read more

This place is sexy. Felt like i was walking into a Las Vegas lounge, in a good way. Visited for restaurant week and was not disappointed. The Blue Crab Fondue is a must. The chicken lollipops were jam packed with flavor from the batter to the ranch spread. Skip the deviled eggs imo. Couldn't make up our minds on dessert so tried the Blueberry Cobbler Cheesecake which tasted exactly how it sounds (almost like a blueberry pop tart too but not too sweet) and death by chocolate cake (good, a little dry). Our handsome server was great too. It's pricey, but it's downtown so what do ya expect. read more

Excellent bar. Classic. Modern. Amazing cocktails. Attentive service...Basically explains the experience. Had cocktails before dinner and honestly such an awesome experience.

Bourbon N' Bubbles - Cocktails at bourbon and bubbles - Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

2020 This place has fast become one of our fav last night lounge/ bar to hang out at. Excellent drinks, great bartenders who make the best drinks. I had the B n B 75 which is my go to. Their Manhattan's never fail because hubby never complains about it and he usually has a issues with how most places make the Manhattans. Great music, excellent vibes and all the feels. Prime people watching location. 2019 This place is fantastic, definitely a chill place to hang out and have a super expensive drink. Great bartenders, good service. Hubby ordered an old fashion that was $43. They have $1800 bottle of champagne, need I say more. read more

Finally had dinner at Bourbon and Bubbles in Charleston this weekend. The restaurant did not disappoint. For starters, we had the King Crab dip. It was succulent. An insanely rich dip that I must have with my next visit. The cocktails were superb. Pictured is the espresso martini and a signature cocktail, "Love at First Sight". n eclectic mix with the featured liquor being vodka. My entree was the grilled scallops. Oh M Gee! Cooke perfectly and so filling. The ambiance is nice. A little loud because the restaurant is so small.

This was such a nice vibe! The service was amazing and the decor was beautiful; it's very much a vintage, art deco vibe. Even though the wait time was slightly longer than I would have liked, the food was amazing; very well seasoned and beautiful presentation. The drinks were nice and strong, and the espresso martini is the best thing on the menu! If I'm ever back in the area again I definitely want to make this place a staple. read more

What a joke. Came in for a nightcap and had to send the espresso martini back it was so bad. One, does not contain espresso, and two Titos is the base vodka you're using and selling at those prices? No. 2nd drink was an old fashioned. So bad. Just tasted like syrup that was barched out to resemble the taste of an old fashioned. What? How do you mess up a standard cocktail? I'm sure this place will survive a bit longer on Hype and Instagram posts, but once people actually start to evaluate the product they're putting out there things will either change or they'll be gone. SAVE YOUR TIME AND MONEY! Go across the street to one of the many other bars that actually know how to craft a cocktail. read more

Bourbon N' Bubbles - Sad excuse for an old fashioned. - Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

My boyfriend brought me here for my birthday dinner last Saturday, and everything was *chef's kiss*! The cocktails were amazing, all three courses we had were superb, and the service was exceptional. Both the duck confit gnocchi and beef medallions were perfect, and the chocolate cake was to die for! This is the perfect spot for a special night out on the town. Apparently it's also a great place to grab a happy hour app and cocktail on a Friday, as some out-of-town friends found out during their visit this weekend. Don't miss it read more

I was expecting a lot more from this place since it was posted on Southern Charm. I did not order any food just drinks so my ranking is not on food. I ordered an old fashion and to me it wasn't that great. I order a lot of these and (again maybe I expected more) it was below par. The bar seats are not comfortable but the staff were friendly. read more

Big big fan of this place. Not what I expected AT ALL. It smelled on the inside but the ambiance is super cozy and classy. I enjoy the bar set up. My friend and I went early and sat at the bar but got sat at a nearby table. The servers, managers, and everyone in between were so attentive. Our server Nicole and bar tender Will were fun and bright. I think this is a hidden gem and the food was insane. My menu was accidentally an old one due to changes and the manager came up, apologized that what I wanted wasn't on there, went to the back and gave us a free app. They were busy but you never felt like you were lacking in service. I lived it for sure. Food was hot and perfect portions. read more

I feel this needs to be posted. I love yelp- you could call me a review stocker. Headed to Charleston for a short visit. Have to hit the bourbon bars. This was a disaster. Could not find it called- oh the website has the wrong address- ok- walk another 1/2 mile to address given. Nope no such place... call again... you are so close... what are you near....nothing click... keep circling around... 15 minutes later...call again.

This place makes me feel sexy and sophisticated the minute I walk through the door. It has such a great vibe, especially at night. They have comfy seats, great music, and intimate lighting. It's perfect for a date or for a before/ after dinner drink. The main bar is large and there's also a second bar of good size in the back. The bourbon selection is impressive! They even have a few unicorns. Though the wine and cocktail options are not as abundant, I was very pleased with what they had. As for their food menu, it's surprisingly large. And like their cocktails, everything had great presentation. Literally everything that I saw come out from the kitchen looked amazing. Overall, I really like this place. However, this may sound weird, but my only complaint is that if you sit at the bar in the back, there's a massive column behind the bar that blocks the bar display and it somewhat takes away from the entire vibe. It's hard to explain, but it's especially noticeable when sitting at the center of the bar. I took a pic of it. But other than that, Bourbon N' Boubles is great place with awesome, knowledgeable staff. read more

Went for New Year's Eve. I have to agree with some other reviewers - for the prices and reputation I expected much better service and the food to be better as well. I had the beef tenderloins which was just ok. Should have been better. Some of the cuts were tougher than they should have been for the price tag. My date had the Farmers Plate - and she did enjoy this - this the three stars rather than 2. It was clear the server had either something more important to do or he had too many tables. My suggestion is to try one of the other restaurants in town. read more

We visited Bourbon N' Bubbles for a bachelorette party. We were charged $125 per person for a prix fixe menu as a group of 16, and made a reservation for a private room that included unlimited alcohol. When we arrived, it was immediately apparent we had been cat-fished, as we were seated at bistro tables pushed together next to the bar and told that they did not have a private room. The individual that made the reservation and confirmed via email showed the email, stating "private room" to the manager and she shared there was nothing they could do. Service was quick, as we had a dedicated server that immediately started orders of the same few appetizers: truffle fries, arancini, and tempura shrimp. The appetizers were fine for what we ordered. We also quickly learned that "unlimited" alcohol had limits, similar to that of a wedding bar with wine, beer, and three types of liquors with one mixer. While the atmosphere of the bar is very cute, it was not the appropriate space for a "private" dinner, and definitely had only a bar scene. I would recommend coming for drinks only, as our entrees left a lot to be desired. We had a choice between hanger steak, gnocchi, or a spring salad with chicken. No one that ordered the steak was able to eat it because it was so tough. The gnocchi and salad were both fine. Towards the end of our meal a few individuals ordered another round of drinks and were met with "you've reached your bar tab" as a response, which created a lot of confusion for a party that paid for unlimited alcohol. The manager came over and offered us a "final" round of drinks and apologized for the confusion. She also tried to sell us on a "VIP" package at a nearby club for over $1000. Overall, our entire experience left a lot on the table. While I wouldn't return, I would recommend one checks out the bar for a quick cocktail before moving on to many of the other great establishments in Charleston. read more

Bourbon N' Bubbles - Bars Near Me - Charleston, South Carolina

This establishment is split between a 'Boubon' bar and a 'Bubbles' (Champaign/mixed drinks) bar. I like the ambience of the bourbon bar, dimly lite to show off a multitude of bourbon varieties. Comfortable seating at bar, cocktail tables and booths. Smooth music sometimes live. Bartenders are well-knowledgable on the brands of bourbon. There are various availabilitylies to tastings and are described to you. Great time for kicking back and chillin out. I highly recommend this side. The Bubbles bar side from what I saw was brightly lit, comfortable seating, and jovial atmosphere. Brings out the lighter side of tasting different mixed drinks. This is good place for various occasions (birthdays, etc). Baemrtenders are upbeat and fun. Food wise, I recommend crab dip with homemade crostini....yummy. overall I would give this establishment a 9 out of ten. Go see for yourself. Management is friendly and customer oriented especially Matt Curtis. For a good time get over there. read more

I didn't love my drink. It sounded good on the menu but just wasn't executed well, it needed more or less of something. One waitress' skirt was so terribly short I saw her underwear for a second.

Went for restaurant week and had the most wonderful flavorful dinner!! Service was a bit slow but didn't mind because we were in a date night.

I am telling ya, this place kicked butt tonight. The place was packed due to restaurant week. This crew did not miss a beat. Hostess, servers, bartenders, bar backs, managers..,,, they all came with their game face on. Food and drinks amazing. But this staff...crazy good. Just a few names I remembered.. Henry, Liz, Katlyn, Saquan, Jada, Robert.... And all the rest. read more

Jada and Riley are the most personable and welcoming bartenders. They knew exactly what I wanted before I wanted it! These girls are both hardworking and an asset to this place. To be kind AND able to multitask is a true gift. Give these ladies a promotion! Gerald is also so awesome at the front door. He welcomed us with laughs & took his job seriously. I will be spreading the word about how happy I was leaving here. Everyone needs a taste of Bourbon N' Bubbles! read more

Me and my friends had dinner at Bourbon N' Bubbles for their 21st birthdays. We made reservations prior to arriving and we're immediately seated in the back of the restaurant. The bar and seating area was absolutely gorgeous and such a great vibe. The staff was awesome and very attentive despite being very busy. I started off my meal with the King Street Crab Dip which was delicious and so creamy. I could've eaten 10 bowls of that dip! I recommend getting it, but beware if you run out bread to dip it in they will charge you extra for another round of bread (which wasn't disclosed when I was offered this so I was a little upset when I saw the extra charge on my bill). For my main dish I ordered the chicken wings off the appetizer menu and those were also amazing! Overall my experience here was a 10/10 and I will be returning in the future. The food was delicious, the service was great, and the atmosphere is unlike many restaurants in Charleston. read more
