The view is good! Service was ok at the bar and excellent at the table! “The most popular item on the menu” is Tuna Tower for $32 was just ok, really nothing special. However beef kebab was really good! Drinks are ok. Good for one-time visit and a few pictures!

Took an hour for the first drinks to be served. After waiting on food for over an hour we asked what was going on, our waiter came back 10 min later saying sorry I forgot to put your order in but it's in now. We said unacceptable get the manager he leaves comes back 10 min after that saying I just found your order I can put it in and hand then rush it so he didn't even really put it in the 2nd time. Then it took 15 min to get the manager who was nothing but rude

Worst martini I’ve ever had, tasted like there was no alcohol in it. For $16 go literally anywhere else.

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.
