12-28-24 Mid afternoon. Due to the reputation & design of the hotel, We were expecting craft cocktails list with fresh ingredients, instead it felt we were on cruise ship, sun deck where everything is half fast made or premade, all juices coming from concentrate, the back of the bar looked filthy & over loaded with ice dripping water all over the place. managed by two loud bartenders looking unprofessional and coming out of a Scorcese movie. If you are looking to get drunk, and don’t care for anything else this is the place, to the other fellas get a table & order beer or wines, don’t come near the bar What a shame with a such set up & breath taking view. I almost forgot, bartender tried to gauge us with the bill. He presented the right receipt but ran a greater amount…. We didn’t eat there, so I can’t rate & or leave a constructive criticism.

View was great and that was about it. Grabbed a couple drinks for $40 that were terrible and moved on to the next stop.

Cool place to grab appetizers and a drink before dinner out. The prices were reasonable and the views spectacular.

This would be fine for a pool area bar if you were swimming and sunning, but don't expect a rooftop bar experience in terms of atmosphere or value. Drinks were ridiculously overpriced for presentation and quality. Wouldn't recommend if you're literally not swimming.

Ambience and location are great. Service was excellent. My old fashioned was absolute rubbish for $27. In short, go for the rooftop…and get a beer.

Charleston is known for a rooftop bar but this has just some amazing views! Also the service I loved all the workers.

Great rooftop bar overlooking the city. Nice drink menu and ambience. We didn’t have any food, so can’t comment on that. I would recommend and will go back.

I would have given this place at least 4 stars for their cleanliness and classy atmosphere but I absolutely just lost ALL RESPECT for this place as I watched an AMBULANCE & FIRE TRUCK pull up in front of this establishment & can’t get in the door because it’s after hours and their doors are locked, yet the bar tender is cleaning the bar and talking to a bunch of girls and he won’t open the door for the Emergency service workers to get in! I’m someone who has had to use emergency services quite a bit due to on going health issues and this is NOT somewhere I would want to stay again if they can’t take that seriously. Other than that the food was good, the service was good and fast and the housekeepers are doing amazing!

One star for the view. The waitstaff could care less. No cocktail napkins. We were given paper towels. The bartender makes lukewarm martinis. Replaced with wine that was too old. Crappy music. Should have gone to Eleve.

The atmosphere and location is the only thing saving this place. My mojito was essentially seltzer and mint leaves and the other drink was reminiscent of my college pour days. Avoid, if possible. There are much better places with similar prices and 1000- fold better drinks with rooftop views.
This should be a 5-star bar. Great location, excellent view, nice pool, decent drinks, all at a rooftop bar. Unfortunately the service staff has another thing in mind. Our bartender seemed bothered to serve us, even though it was a slow time of day. At one point he even fell asleep leaning against the bar. Meanwhile our drinks and waters were left empty.On an almost empty day, half of the bar was roped off, so customers could not take advantage of the view. Walking past the ropes to peak a glimpse resulted in a scolding from staff to remind that the area was closed.This was not a one-time bad day either. Same experience across two separate attempts. I hope they change the service culture there soon, sad to see a great spot go to waste like that.

The bartender told us to grab a table whenever people cleared out, so we did (3pm not a busy time) and the waiter came over to tell us that a family was about to take that table and eat food. I told him we were happy to give up the table and he said “well go find them at the elevator”. Drinks were bare minimum effort and cheap vodka for price. Don’t recommend.

My friend and I visited after Second Sunday on King this past weekend. We ordered two martinis and a tuna tower. The tuna tower was just okay. I wish we chose something else. What upset me the most was that we were not finished with the Tuna Tower and the waiter came over and took it away while there was still some on the plate. He did not even ask us if we were finished with it yet. We kind of just sat there and stared at each other in shock. For $36, we would've liked to have finished our appetizer.
