    A cute little hole in the wall cocktail bar. They have excellent happy hour Monday through Saturday from 5 PM to 7pm. You don't want to bring too large of a crowd as the biggest table is a four top and it is a pretty small space. It is in an alley off of King Street. The cocktails are delicious and the vibe is great as well.

    This is a fantastic little cocktail bar downtown, great cocktails, fun service, super cool vibe. I have only been a handful of times but I've enjoyed every cocktail I've had and every experience at the bar. I've seen tiki nights advertised and I'd like to try one in the future. Happened to go on a service industry night once and they offered some specials as well as merch. Highly recommend for great drinks downtown and not super crowded!

    We were on the early side for this small, cozy bar. It was empty but supposedly gets busier later. Good drinks, chatty bartender.

    Great spot on a backstreet of downtown Charleston! Found this place after leaving dinner on Valentine's Day and saw a crowd gathering. Cozy space with a DJ and was totally black lit. Bartenders were very helpful and they had a creative menu! Definitely a nice surprise that we stumbled into and added to our night. Expresso Martini was also well made and exactly what I needed to stay moving on a busy night!

    Great bar right on the heart of the action, but a bit hidden to keep it private and cozy. The drinks and cocktails are spectacular and the service is friendly and impeccable. I had the cocktail of the day, which was a unique midori cocktail which was refreshing and fun. I love the happy hour and the fact that it is later than the average bar right at opening . Amazing spot and location for great value! Check it out.

    We walked down here after eating at Bourbon and Bubbles. We immediately felt welcome and he turned out to be one of the owners. It's a very cool atmosphere and is small, but that makes it more intimate. There is also outdoor seating. The drink menu was vast and also delicious! It seems like a place locals hang out and yet we still felt included. We'd love to have this place in our area. Definitely worth a visit while in the area.

    Dalila's BOTTOM BAY couldn't have said it better themselves "We Went All Out Tiki on This One" Gin, Banana, Falernum, Pineapple, and Citrus and man oh man was it tasty. Not pictured is the Dirty Chai which is what I ordered and was absolutely delicious. "That Boozy Breakfast Drink You've Been Wanting" of Vanilla Chai Bourbon, Java Rum, Cold Brew, Coconut Cream and Contains caffeine. Your new espresso martini? I think so. #bergerknowsbest

    Would not have known Dalila's was there if it wasn't for participating in Women's History Month Bar Crawl. Small bar on Spring St. The bartender, Fabiana, was very welcoming and had lots of energy. Made us an awesome drink. One if the best on the crawl.

    I liked the cocktails. I don't believe they have food or bar snacks. The menu seems to change often which provides a lot of variety. It is located on a slower spot downtown, but conveniently located close to king. A good spot for pre-dinner drinks. I enjoyed the music selection.

    entrance is on Spring Street

    This place is great. Mike (the bartender) is terrific at answering your questions and making drink suggestions. Everything he served me was delicious. While the address is listed as Meeting Street, it's actually on Spring Street.

    One of our bartenders at dinner recommended Last Saint for a cocktail, so we stopped by after our…read moremeal. The space was super vibey--dark, moody, and filled with candlelight. It felt cozy without being stuffy and was a great spot for people-watching. The cocktails were well made and balanced, and we got lucky enough to snag a table. The space is pretty small though, so by the time we arrived the bar was full and a lot of people were standing with drinks. Even so, the atmosphere was fun and energetic. Definitely a great spot for a nightcap if you're in the area.

    My first time visiting a speakeasy since living in Charleston, and the Annex absolutely blew me…read moreaway. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was intimate, beautiful, and the perfect setting for a relaxed Saturday night cap. What made the experience truly special was the bartender. There's no traditional menu, instead, he takes the time to learn what you like and crafts drinks based on your taste. I've never experienced anything like that before. The level of knowledge and creativity behind the bar was incredible. Every drink he made was stunning and tasted even better than it looked. I was honestly so impressed that I couldn't even remember all the ingredients he mentioned because I was too busy being amazed at how good everything was. It was one of those moments where you realize there are real levels to this craft. I walked in thinking I knew a thing or two about mixing drinks at home, and left with a whole new respect for the art of it. The atmosphere, the personal attention, and the quality of the cocktails made this place feel truly top tier. Huge shoutout to the bartender, easily a 15 out of 10. Cool, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he does. If you're looking for an intimate spot for date night or just want to experience thoughtfully crafted cocktails in a beautiful setting, the Annex is the place. I will absolutely be back as soon as possible.
