    We had a few drinks here, I thought 2 of the 4 drinks we had were really good but the other 2 were just ok. I believe the usp of this place is not the drinks but the banter with the bartender and the dim lit speakeasy ambiance. It is located in the Eastside which is very quiet compared to the more lively French quarters and there is pretty much nothing else around so plan your trip accordingly.

    We enjoy coming here for the cocktails, usually before we head to dinner nearby. There is a speakeasy in the back which we enjoyed on our first visit. The server gets to know you, asking questions about your likes and dislikes and then returns with cocktails built on your replies. It was a fun first time, and the dark vibe made it even more fun. We returned recently to have cocktails up front, and the early afternoon time we found it empty inside. All the better for us. I ordered my favorite cocktail, the Last Word, and my friends each enjoyed their favorites. Overall this is a nice place to go for cocktails, a good variety of options they offer, and will likely be able to make anything you want.

    The Last Saint is one of those Charleston gems that proves less is more. The moment you step inside, the room wraps around you, intimate and low lit, the kind of speakeasy energy that feels intentional rather than trendy. Marc, the mixologist, stole the show. He crafted a Basil Hayden whiskey sour that genuinely stands among the best I've had in Charleston. Perfect balance, silky texture and froth for days; the man clearly knows his craft and takes pride in it. If you're after a spot with atmosphere, real cocktail execution and a vibe that feels like a secret you're lucky to know about, The Last Saint should be on your list.

    Last Saint is a small, low lit bar located off of meeting street. Parking is available around back in a lot or on the street. This is a small venue that make excellent cocktails at a reasonable price and an aesthetic that makes you feel cool and welcomed. Not pictured is the Annex bar at the back. This is a speakeasy that you must make reservations for. Overall, I love coming here. I only make it out every few months but the service is always great, I love the atmosphere, and the drinks are delicious. I had a dirty gin martini that is top 5 in Charleston. (Personal preference not saying it's actually named that.)

    Came for 'Annex' speakeasy hidden in the back. The concept is fun. There's no menu and the bartender asks you a few questions to get a feel for your vibe, then customizes your drink. Sounds cool, right?! Unfortunately, after the waitress guessed my drink (by name) when I started talking about it, and then I saw menu cards with drink names presented to the bartender, and watched several of the exact same 3 drinks made and sent out, it quickly became apparent that the actual drink variety is very limited, and the questions are merely a guide to the most general of menus. Seated at the bar it also became apparent that although the shelved selection seems fun and interesting, most ingredients come up from underneath with generic products like 'Beefeater' gin making up the largest part of their cocktails. Sadly, once the man behind the curtain is revealed, the Wizard is unmasked as just a man, and the magic is gone.

    Walk through the red door if you're willing to change your life completely and succumb to the cocktail chosen by the master craftsman. No menu, no problem. Great little speakeasy for the traveler looking for something off the beaten path. Cheers!

    Make a reservation at the Annex!! Intimate, cozy and amazing speakeasy in the back of the bar. There is not drink menu. The cocktails are curated by the conversation you have with the waitress. Then she asks questions- likes and dislikes, and the bartender whips up an amazing cocktail to your taste. I cannot recommend this place any more. Plus they have mocktails for $7. Each custom cocktail is $16 which is very reasonable for the experience and quality. 1000/10 recommend

    Annex is an absolute gem and a true speakeasy tucked behind Last Saint that delivers both atmosphere and artistry. When you walk in, head straight to the back and ring the doorbell, which immediately sets the tone for a hidden bar experience. There is no traditional drink menu, and that is part of what makes this place so special. The bartenders ask a few thoughtful discovery questions and then create a personalized cocktail based on your preferences. The presentation is beautiful and every drink we had was outstanding, especially if you appreciate a well crafted cocktail. I also love that they use real egg whites instead of vegan foams, which gives the drinks a rich and velvety texture. The space is intimate, cozy, and truly unique. Because seating is limited, I highly recommend making a reservation on weekends, although they do offer a standing table if you decide to drop in.

    It's been a few years since I've been here and I honestly missed their menu. When I came a few years ago they had a great menu with a wide range of unique cocktails. Now they make cocktails based on conversation and neither of us were overly pleased or excited about the drinks we had. I think there could be a disconnect because a waiter is having the conversation with you not the actual bartenders. It also took us forever to get inside. Someone came out to use the restroom and that's the only reason someone came to the door despite us ringing the door bell several times and having a reservation. The vibe is still good for a date night but not sure if I will come back because the drinks were a miss.

    Highly recommended by cocktail loving co-workers, I visited the Last Saint twice - once in the main bar and once in the Annex. I loved this place. Located just a little off the people heavy King Street Last Saint had a front room which is very grandma-chic, like a bar met an antique store and had a kid, and a back room, the Annex, which is mellow, intimate, and delightful. The difference is that the front bar has a fixed menu of delightful cocktails and the Annex doesn't believe in menus. They need no menus because they are awesome. Both visits I had a great time. The Last Saint offers amazing, inventive cocktails while acknowledging the classics with all the hospitality I enjoy in Charleston. I was shocked to find that I was remembered from my first trip. I don't consider myself noteworthy, so I was taken off guard with the recognition. It was such an amazing experience!

    I must be missing something. No parking. Bad service. Overpriced cocktails. Weird vibes. Not sure how long this place will last.

    Are there any close (walkable) restaurants that are recommended?

    Yes! You're just a block from King Street which has a ton of restaurants, and not far from Spring Street that has several as well. Super walkable from here!

I was so hungry I forgot to take a picture of the food, but it was good. The chicken was a boneless chicken thigh, the batter was good, and the home fries were even better. I also had a mimosa (because it was 5'o clock somewhere) and my partner had a latte which was tasty and came with a small pirouline cookie. Beautiful surroundings right across from the Market.

I know it sounds funny to rave about chicken nuggets, but these were honestly some of the best I've ever had. They reminded me so much of McDonald's chicken nuggets in the best possible way. I stayed for a drink and ended up getting treated to an incredible thunder and lightning show over the city. It wasn't even raining, which made it even cooler to watch from the rooftop. Between the amazing views, the friendly bartender who saved me from going to bed hungry, and unexpectedly fantastic chicken nuggets, this ended up being one of my favorite stops in Charleston. I'll definitely be back for another drink...and another order of chicken nuggets.

The roof top however gives off more of a college/dive bar vibe despite having a great view of the city. When we went on Monday only one bar, the downstairs one was open. Despite there being servers it didn't seem that anyone wanted to take tables so the solution was for guests to order drinks/food at the downstairs bar and bring it up to the deck themselves. While the bartender was nice, fast, and good at her job everyone else around her just didn't seem to care to provide service. The chips on the trio platter were beyond stale and since servers didn't care to serve the top deck tables were left unbussed and dirty. Not sure if this experience was a case of severe understaffing or just negligence on the management. I'd recommend going to literally any other rooftop bar for a more elevated experience where the staff actually wants to serve the guests.
