    Stop in for a couple cocktails and they were delicious! It's a very nice spot and definitely great for a romantic date night. Our server was great and very welcoming! Didn't try any of the food but would go back.

    Turkey club and unique French fries

    We wandered into the elegant mall, and found the Thoroughbred Club, and it was perfectly suited for what we wanted. We had just been to the Immersive Van Gogh/Monet show, and we're looking for a quiet, nice place to discuss it over a late lunch. We sat down to table linens, professional service, and the lilting notes of the harpist wafting in from the atrium as we pored over the menu, a perfect start. The menu featured several Low Country classics, like She Crab soup, and it was the best I've sampled, with lumps of backfin crabmeat in a wonderful bisque. I chose the Burrata cheese and beet salad, my friend selected the turkey club; both were excellent examples of a good chef's magic. I highly recommend the Thoroughbred Club as an elegant oasis well worth your time.

    We were doing our annual walk through of the Charleston Place, and spotted a quiet corner table in the club bar, and made a beeline for it. Out of tge crush, but listening to joyful voices and Christmas music in the background added to our joy. Kennedy was a terrific host, serving us a delicious bowl of warmed carmelized mixed nuts with our cocktails... While sadly the Bees Knees lacked the finese of a true bees knees, the Monte Jalisco was amazing. Ill know to order better next time.

    Girls weekend in Charleston and it was the night before it officially started and others arrived. Came here for a cocktail before dinner. I got their "Sweet Dreams" cocktail and it was perfect. Hugh was a great bartender. Atmosphere encouraged conversation and the three of us talked to a few others. Some were local, some visiting.

    We went for dessert at this classy and elegant restaurant located in The Charleston Place. The flaming crème brûlée was rich and creamy with carmelized sugar on top! Too notch service and an overall incredible experience. A bit pricey, but well worth it if you want to splurge and eat delicious food. I look forward to going back and trying the small plates.

    We stopped in for a quick drink. Staff was very professional helpful and sincere. Inside is beautifully decorated. I had the espresso martini which was awesome.

    Beautiful bar located in the Charleston Place hotel. We only had a drink but they were both top tier. Our bartender was very friendly and shared some interesting facts about the city.

    Our multiple visits to Thoroughbred Club (it's the lobby bar of Charleston Place) demonstrated they have really good service - as I've come to expect in Charleston (service that would be notable in other cities). Drinks are fine; pricing is as-expected. Complimentary bar snacks (warm salted chile-garlic nuts) are better than expected. This is all good, right - so why the "OK" rating? The downside for me is that the design of the room has lots of different areas to sit comfortably, but nowhere really to hide away. If you're stuck sitting anywhere near a lout (we were, one time), you're going to suffer. The vibe is more "airport-cocktail-bar-waiting-on-your-flight" than "private club where you can relax and talk." Great service and bar snacks. Drinks are fine. Room is fine-ish. It's okay.

    Turkey club w really good fries

    This place is awesome. It has been spice we moved here decades ago. Ambiance can not be beat. Look up - the ceiling is a wonderful green. The woodwork is something you would want your den done with. Ask for Chris. What a pro. When was the last time a waitperson asked you your name and remembered it ? Great service. Maybe the best Manhattan in the low country. That's what originally caught us. She crab soup is a wonder. Don't skip it. Unless you are allergic and then by all means skip it. Turkey club was ok. Not amazing but ok. It's a turkey club. How magical is it going to be. The fries are not to be missed. I dunked them in my soup. Suspect the ketchup might be house made. Yum! Don't forget a desert cocktail. Not many places have them anymore. Don't forget your check book. It is in Charleston Place after all. Well done folks. Well done !

    Thoroughbred Club is a fantastic hotel bar in Charleston Place with musicians playing piano and the harp in the lobby. My friend and I had lunch here during the holidays. Excellent customer service! I had their Turkey Club sandwich with fries and it was so good! Sweet Tea was a little unsweet but they had extra sugar packets. Loved the Tabasco hot sauce mini bottles too! I will come back in the future.

    The atmosphere at The Thoroughbred Club is clubby, sophisticated and refined in keeping with the Charleston Place Hotel's upscale feel and over the top common areas. The living room lounge" feel is complete with live music. On any given day you will hear a harpist, a guitarist or a pianist. So take a seat, sit back and enjoy the well- traveled spirit selections. A great way to start or end an evening with the menu offerings ranging from lunch favorites to tapas and dessert selections. The service is attentive and professional. On my visit to The Thoroughbred Club recently it was so nice to take in all of the hotel's holiday decorations, trees and glitter throughout the main areas and it certainly helped to get into the holiday mood and foster that holiday spirit.

    We went during the busy holiday season and promptly gave our name for a table. This highly anticipated stop is located in gorgeous Charleston Place. Our table was in the side room, which was fine. Bar area was absolutely packed. We ordered our drinks from an overworked server... and waited... and waited. We watched others who arrived after us get their cocktails and drinks. After quite some time, BF was able to inquire about our drinks. When they finally arrived, both were good. As others suggested, we decided to get appys which looked delicious. These were slow to arrive and were placed at someone else's table, prior to being scooped up, moved behind us, and served to us... Shishito peppers were bland, and wings were average, but lacking in flavor. My salad was good. We were going to order a couple more items, but server was curt and irritable, as well as food being mediocre. Instead, we paid our check and went elsewhere. I know that places are short staffed, but between the attitude of our server, our food being placed at the wrong table, and mediocre food, it was a disappointing visit.

    We ended our long weekend here at Charleston Place in the beautiful hotel's Thoroughbred Club. Located opposite of the check-in desk this hotel. This bar has several cozy tables and is elegant with rich wood paneling. We entertained by an harpist playing in the lobby and later with someone playing the piano inside the bar area. Cocktails are expertly crafted. Was lucky enough they had a milk washed cocktail on the menu. If you've never had a milk washed cocktail order it. The milk clarifies the alcohol's impurities making it clear with a rich and fluffy texture. This one was a bourbon based punch and washed down easily. I also got the old fashion and it was a very generous pour. They also provide some bar snacks to munch on and we also opted to order some food to make it a meal. The gumbo was delicious and hit the spot. The tartare was fine but perhaps a little heavy on the Dijon mustard. Service was five star.

    Cheers

    Our first stop on this Charleston trip & it wasn't on my list but I'm so glad we stumbled upon it!…read moreWe sat outside in the outdoor area, where you order at the bar and the bartenders will bring your drinks, and food out. It was easy & we loved our lunches! I chose the double smash burger which was so delicious and filling! Loved it! Hubs chose the Cobb chicken salad and he loved it! Ate every bite & reports that the chicken was fried perfectly without too many clumps or batter lumps. We would absolutely come back for brunch items! Cool things: the bathroom wallpaper was epic, outside they have a water cooler with cups for self help access & a dog bowl for those who bring their pups. Loved that!

    Listen, it's a great bar. The courtyard is nice. There is an ample amount of options for drinks…read more But... What does that matter if you're ushered out before closing? A group of about 8 of us went out for drinks Saturday (5/2/26). We were having a great time (respectful, quiet, not causing a problem). Last call hit at 1:30 so we decided one more drink before we went our ways home. 10 mins later we're were asked to leave the courtyard and head inside - not a problem. We will finish our drinks inside. 5 minutes after that, we were asked to take our last sips and leave. 15 mins before the posted closing time. Again, we weren't causing a problem, weren't loud, weren't disruptive. This was a group of 8, most of us well into our 40s (or older). But they were telling all guests to leave at 1:45a?? Just after we bought drinks? The posted hours say they close at 2a. Not 1:45a. Most of us left half finished drinks. The large bouncer was nice enough, the tiny one in a hoodie with glasses was totally unprofessional. So beware. The Blind Tiger has what it takes to remain a Charleston institution. Their staff, might ruin that chance.

The Charleston Music Hall itself is a beautiful, historic venue--intimate, well-maintained, and known for hosting concerts, comedy shows, and special events. The seating is comfortable, sightlines are good, and acoustics are solid, which definitely worked in favor of the vocal performances. The singers were clearly talented and did a great job vocally--everyone sounded wonderful, and there's no denying the performers can sing. However, we personally felt that the show didn't quite feel like a full "production." It leaned heavily on straightforward singing, with limited storytelling, choreography, or theatrical elements to tie everything together. This may come down to expectations and personal preference. Growing up around Broadway shows in NYC, we're used to more dynamic, story-driven performances with larger production value, and this didn't quite meet that standard for us. While others may enjoy it for the music and holiday spirit--especially in a cozy venue like the Charleston Music Hall--we would probably not attend again, particularly considering the ticket price.
