Lounges in Charleston, SC

“Went to Charleston to celebrate ? my husband's birthday. Learned about the Forte and it was a great way to finish off our day with glasses of wine and delicious live music. Each musician was so incredibly seasoned and delightful to listen to. Thank you!“

“My wife and I absolutely love this restaurant and come here as often as we can. It's a wonderful husband-and-wife-owned Italian restaurant, and you can truly feel the passion and care they put into every single dish.

I travel all over Europe and I've eaten at countless Italian restaurants along the way. I can honestly say this is the best pasta in the area—hands down. Every meal is consistently outstanding. The pasta is always cooked perfectly, the sauces are rich and flavorful, and every dish is made with care. We've never had a meal here that disappointed us.

The service is just as exceptional as the food. The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, making you feel like family every time you walk through the door. It's the kind of place that genuinely appreciates its customers, and that shows in every interaction.

I honestly don't understand how anyone could leave anything less than a five-star review. This restaurant consistently delivers amazing food, outstanding service, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. If you're looking for authentic Italian food made by people who truly care about what they do, this is the place. My wife and I will continue coming back again and again, and we recommend it to everyone we know.“

“A neat little speak-easy with delicious drinks and awesome service. Went here while on a pub crawl tour or else might not have found it! Had a Manhattan that was excellent and my friend had an Old Fashioned that he also highly recommends. It is a small area but very interesting and eclectic.“

“Food was excellent, drinks were wonderful and the atmosphere is classy. Steak was cooked perfectly and portions were appropriate. Service was top notch including recommendations. We were staying at The Charleston Place so were also given suggestions and information on the other onsite dining establishments. Greatly enjoyed our time and will certainly be returning.“

“This place has a very 50s classy vibe. They play old black and white movies on a TV in the background and the music sound system is great. Hands down, had one of my most amazing cocktails that i have ever tasted, Breakfast at Tiffany's. It is impossible to describe the flavor exactly but it had a slightly creamy texture and citrus flavors. And it was topped with a biscuit!! Love at first sip. I still dream about this drink. Bartenders were nice and helpful. I would not recommend the food. We ordered some sort of cheesy bread with a marinara sauce. Took way too long to come out, felt over baked, and very basic. Very dark inside in the evenings.“

“Unique cocktails; friendly knowledgeable waitstaff“

“Limited menu for drinks, but all super good and fun atmosphere. Small little seating group areas with some fabric dividers. Our server was great. If you needed anything, you could flip a lighted switch and she would see it and come. Apparently, reservations are recommended, but we got in without one. It was a fun experience!“

“Love trio my personal favorite way to end a night in Charleston. Great music and dance atmosphere. Bartenders are great Jenna is super nice getting drinks is easy and friendly.“

“Food is amazing!! I give it 5⭐️!! And our bartender, TAYLOR, is amazing!! She’s awesome! I highly recommend visiting this establishment and hopefully you’ll meet Taylor.“

“This was such an awesome place to let loose and sing like no one was watching. Thanks to Jerimah the DJ, he went above and beyond to create an inclusive atmosphere and really made the night!“

“Best cocktails in Charleston!“

“Wonderful ambiance and service. Fantastic drinks!“

“The aqua terrace bar is a really nice spot for a cocktail. The view is nice. The atmosphere is great. The bartender was awesome. Super friendly. They were having technical difficulties the night I was there so they didn't have food. So I can't rate that. But the drinks were great. The location was great.“

“Great dj and music !!!! Highly recommend will be back“

“Beautiful hotel with an exceptional lobby. Great bar with a killer espresso martini. Rooms are nicely designed with comfortable beds. Bathrooms were clean and had a huge shower. Staff were friendly and eager to help. Great location within walking distance to everything.“

“Great place to dine with a large or small group. Delicious food with great service. We had a group of 34 and everything went smoothly. Highly recommended!!“
