Catch a glimpse of the beautiful sunsets from the Western facing deck, or just star gaze while enjoying a beautifully crafted cocktail on the outside lounging areas. There are no prices on the drinks but they are all average about $18 @ drink for mixers. The cocktail menu had a variety of offerings and had excellent and attentive bartenders and staff. A food menu is available that features Mexican fare from the small Loco Taco restaurant in the ground floor of the hotel. During winter months there are outdoor heaters to keep it warm and cozy while you sip ur drinks. This is a must see if ur in town and want to catch a breeze, a sunset, and a chill buzz!

We started with sharing the crab ragoon toast and charred wings, which were perfectly seasoned and not "too charred". We moved onto the hanger steak to split and it was cooked perfectly as well. All dishes were portioned to be able to split and the presentation and taste were off the charts. My husband's IPA and my cocktail were also great pours. The cherry on top was the cherry mouse which we split, but easily could have enjoyed two as it was so yummy. Can't believe we waited So long to come to this adorable hangout spot and will definitely be back. The decorations were perfect and food even better.

Diamond - 5 Stars Jacob - 1 Star…read more After an extra long visit to SC, a friend suggested we hang out before I head back to NYC. We ended up stopping at The Grand around 9/9:30pm on a Saturday. Upon entering the hostess informed us they were currently only serving the late night menu. We said no problem and elected to grab seats at the bar. There were several empty tables and a few empty seats @ the bar. However, the only two seats together at the bar needed to be cleared from the last patrons that were seated. We stood there for over 20 mins while Jacob continued to walk by never acknowledging us or the fact that we couldn't sit. When he finally cleared the dishes he just walked away, never cleaning the area. When he returned he still never greeted us or apologized for the wait, the mess... nothing. Jacob: What are you having? Me: Well hello... Jacob: Yea... what do you want? Me: Wow... ok. For starters can you please whip off the bar so we can properly have a seat. There is still food residue here from the last customers. ** we get a visible huff** He wipes down the bar and we proceed to order drinks, while he never really speak any more it's all via motions and body language. Amongst ourselves we check in with one another to confirm that we both were feeling very unwelcome. Instantly we decide that we will not be ordering anything additional and will be leaving after this one drink. Which is just as well because Jacob never returns. Someone , whom I can only assume was of a mangement status, asked if Jacob was helpful and we promptly and simultaneously said no and that we would like or bill. She shook her head in utter disbelief and disgust but then she also disappeared. Just so happened that Diamond, whom was on the other side of the bar happen to walk pass. She stopped and asked if we were ok after witnessing our frustration. We explained that we wanted the check and why we were leaving. She was super apologetic and closed out our tab. Her energy literal turned the experience around and if she would have came to our rescue sooner we would have considered staying. Thank you Diamond. Just A Note: Unfortunately, bad first impression because The Grand seems like it may offer a good time with the bowling lanes in the back.

Hendrix was a really fun restaurant, and a great place to stop in for a round of evening drinks!…read moreWhat's funny is that I had walked past Hendrix probably hundreds of times, and never thought to drop in. Well, I'm very glad that I finally did! I really liked how there were two (2) floors of the restaurant (after walking up a flight of stairs), one being a typical dining area, and the other being an awesome rooftop lounge. I didn't get anything to eat, but I was impressed by their selection of draft and canned beers, as well as their selection of wines. The two (2) bartenders I interacted with were both very nice, knowledgeable, and did a great job. However, the one downside of my visit to Hendrix was that one of the bartenders was a little slow to wipe down the inside bar, causing me to be surrounded by crumbs and half-eaten food for a little while. I know this isn't a huge deal, but it was a little gross. Other than that, Hendrix was a great experience, and I'll be back with friends soon!
