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 husband and I visited Last Saint for cocktails before a group dinner when we were in Charleston…read morelast weekend, and it was the perfect place for drinks before a dinner. (On occasion, I rant about how we need more cocktail bars and wine bars that don't serve food at all or just snacks like nuts - don't get me started.) Last Saint is a really cool dual concept cocktail bar. The front of Last Saint is more casual - small, cozy, allows walk-ins. But you can also make reservations (or try to get lucky walking in) at the Annex. The Annex is their weekends-only cocktail experience in the back of Last Saint. You walk to the back of the bar and press ring the bell by the yellow door. Someone answers and seats at one of six seats at the bar and three small (but private) tables. The Annex is a no-menu experience. The friendly and creative staff ask you questions about your preferences for drinks and then make you something that fits the bill. It was personal and fun, and we enjoyed all the drinks we had. A reservation at the Annex is good for a 1.5 hour time frame, which was perfect for us to have two drinks before closing out and heading to our dinner reservation. We sat at the bar, which I loved, because we got to chat with the staff and watch them make our and others' drinks while we enjoyed our creative cocktails. The staff have a wide knowledge of cocktails and an almost endless supply of ingredients to choose from when making your drinks. A truly fun experience. One I haven't had in any other city. I wish there were more bars like Last Saint!

She is soooooooo old now she is struggling to keep her head up with so much trouble in the world and also being a 22 year old beautiful lady. We walked in after a long day of walking on the beach and destroying each other in pickleball (DM me if you want to meet up and play) and were greeted with a bottle of champagne from our lovely friend. God I love bubbly. I think I belong here. We order steak frites, truffle fries, crab fondue, sweet corn risotto, and salmon carpaccio. Housed it. Took it down. But we are also ladies so we shared it all with love and grace and mutual respect. Birthday girl joyful. Birthday girl happy. Birthday girl felt free.

I think the menu could use a few more options, but what they do offer allows for a wide range of palates. This was one of the reasons we opted for an app and drink. It's definitely different than other places in the area. I do agree with other reviewers that it's a bit crowded and small inside for a typical dinner spot. Our server, Emily, was wonderful, though! I might go here more often as a local, but I'm not sure I'd make another trip as an out-of-towner, although I'd love to see Molly sing here! Sad we missed her.

Free parking on the street is of course, scarce but there is a paid parking lot nearby. Downtown as a whole, needs more accessible parking anywho. Upon walking inside, it's really cute and reminds me of the classier, bougie big sister of a neighborhood bar. Some of the servers were helpful, some not so much. We had a great table right slab dab in middle of the restaurant. There weren't too choices to choose from as a gluten-free girlie but the summer salad with grilled chicken was pretty tasty. Prices aren't terrible but we had no idea that we couldn't pay individually. We all had to send money to the birthday girl and she paid with her card.

On the homepage of La Cave there's a picture of a beef wellington that looks soo good but they don't have it. Our server said they haven't had it in awhile because something broke in their kitchen and they had to condense their menu. I was also disappointed with how little our server knew about what was gluten free. I would not recommend this restaurant for anyone with celiac. Our cocktails were hit or miss. The la cave martini was great but the le jardin was the most bitter cocktail i've ever had and we gave up on it. The deviled eggs were great! I'd skip the peach salad and the carpaccio it was sooo salty and I love salt but this was hard to get down. The steak frites were really good!! Overall i'd come back for the vibes and get à la cave martini but wouldn't come here for dinner again.
