We love stopping here for a pre-dinner cocktail. They do have a menu and we snacked on items before, best was a charcuterie plate. But we like coming here just for cocktails, and good service. With dinner at 7pm nearby, we sat at the bar and each ordered something different. They usually make a good Last Word, but Green Chartreuse is not available everywhere so I had an Aviation. My husband had a bourbon sour. The bartender (Benny) was very welcoming and asked if he could make a seasonal bourbon sour, which my husband appreciated. As we neared the end of our cocktails, we thought about one more. Then Benny suggested a Corpse Reviver next, and we both agreed. It has been a while since I had one, and this one was perfection. The lemon was both fragrant and fresh tasting, while the gin was smooth and warming. The overall flavors of lillet blanc and triple sec made a great cocktail. We were both impressed with the craftsmanship of this cocktail. The service by Benny was well appreciated and we left knowing we made a great choice coming here.

Amazing! My new fav for pre dinner drinks and nibbles. Extremely delicious cocktails and a fantastic charcuterie nibble!!! Great staff!

We stopped into this upscale lounge for an after-dinner drink. We grabbed seats at the large bar, not realizing that there was apparently a rear garden with tables as well. I noticed that the menu offered a few custom cocktails, but was mainly focused on wine. I was not sure that my companion would be into that, but he found a beer that he wanted to try, so he was content. I, on the other hand, ordered a glass of the 2018 Avinyo Reserva Brut Cava, a blend of Macabeo and Xarel-lo from Spain, which was crisp and refreshing. This was definitely a classy spot more suited for a date or girls' night out.

Stop here for drink the vibe is really cool low lighting inside very popular spot. Outside area in the back is also very cool spot to hangout with a bar. Good spot in the area is stop for a nice drink.

King Street's best place for tasting the finest wines and shaken delicious cocktails! The servers, bartenders and manager are attentive and friendly and they actually care about making your stop in the lounge a spectacular and enjoyable experience. Highly recommend coming for the unique and complex wine collection, as you can enjoy a bottle or two of wine from spain, france or even washington state! We got a porron with the Ameztoi rubentis txakolina rose and that was such a fun addition to the experience and we noticed groups enjoying the expresso martini and it looked delicious, later finding out myself the best in charleston! The place is very clean and the ambiance and atmosphere of the bar and patio is incredible. Would 10/10 recommend this spot on king street for a extraordinary experience!!

Place is pretty cool. Good ambience. Great service. Request my guy, JR. However, the vodka soda glasses need to be changed. I felt humiliated when my extremely hot, nice, and funny waiter (JR) brought this weak, tiny glass out. I looked at it, looked at him, and immediately wanted to leave in a rushed manner. These glasses are so ridiculous. Please increase the size. Stop victimizing vodka soda drinkers. Adding a picture for reference.

We just left this lovely, chic, welcoming cocktail bar. GO! . The cocktail artistry is very much appreciated. The staff is generous with their attention, light with their conversation, and honest with their connection. GO.

Manager mocking patrons he's kicking out of the bar/restaurant after they paid $250.00.

Purchased New Year Eve tickets, $250.00 per person. Open bar and appetizers from 8:00pm to 2:00am. Manager demanded everyone leave at 12:30am. He had his staff literally pulling drinks out of people's hands. Employees were throwing away thousands of dollars of food as quickly as they could into large garbage cans. They kept saying, "Bosses orders!" Within minutes the lights went on and the staff and manager started berating all of the bewildered guests by yelling and demanding they "GTFO and that the party was over." Nobody could understand what was going on. It wasn't even 1:00am and we were being yelled at and bullied for no apparent reason. If we hadn't paid for a ticket that advertised a party with food and drink until 2:00am, it would be rude customer service, but this was a cash grab and the tackiest restaurant experience I've ever had. It felt like we were on an episode of Punked. It was that obtrusive and over the top horrible. The manager, who I hear is a part owner is nasty and vile. That attitude trickled down into his staff. Absurd establishment.

We have no words. We have never been to a place that we have had management act so horribly . We asked to talk to the manager ( which is cringe to us ) after such horrible behavior and the manager told us that our friend was being a "whore" . One of our friends accidentally spilled a water glass and other management said " we all act like children when we drink" . when we address it and said we were not drunk or acting like children he shrugged it off, told us our friend was a whore and then walked away. She was wearing a short dress and that is the reason he said she was a whore. We all sat there stunned that this happened at such a "nice " place but don't be fooled. It's a nice place but management needs to be replaced if they want to be "high end".

Great ambiance. One of my favorite bars in Charleston. I prefer to go when it's dark outside and they dim the lights.

What a wonderful afternoon spent with Eric and the Classes by Kessler at the beautiful Grand…read moreBohemian Hotel in downtown Charleston. Brought my daughter and her friends here to celebrate her upcoming wedding and the experience was absolutely wonderful. Eric is incredibly knowledgable about wine, made the entire experience both educational and fun. Even the girls in the group who don't really drink wine ended up having a great time and created a wine blend that they truly enjoyed! Plenty of wine to taste and enjoy while you are creating your personal blend. You leave the class with a custom made bottle that you created with a personalized label that you designed (need to send the label design a few days before your class and they have it printed and ready for your bottle the day of the class). Go early and enjoy the beautiful hotel and art gallery before your class begins. This is a must do experience if you are in Charleston, you won't regret it.

His expertise with the red wines offered us the best wine blending experience. The blending room was adorned with beautiful art and was adjacent to the wine bar! The beautiful chandelier's lighting was amazing. Afterwards, we had fine dining upstairs in Eleve'. The meal was nothing shy of amazing! And we had the pleasure of meeting several members of management including Mr. Brown. It's always a pleasure when you see managers checking to make sure their guests are receiving the best dining experience.

What do you have is Chef Bob Waggoner who has been a recognized chef for 30+ years. An affable, friendly, humorous teacher of skills and cooking, who will answer your questions quickly and effectively. The food "we" prepared, obviously with a lot of help from Chef Bob, was delicious beyond belief. Bob of course chooses the menu and buys all of the ingredients for each one of the appetizers, of the main course, and the dessert. As you smell what you are cooking, it comes alive to your nose and to your other senses. After that you sit down and eat your appetizer and then go back to fix your main course and then of course the dessert later. I wish that my photos would give some idea of the tastiness of our meal. It is so difficult to explain the taste of a meal that you have created, although Chef Bob was quickly back and forth to each of the 6 stoves being used by 12 strangers, who by the end of the evening (2 1/2 hours!) were not strangers any longer.
