Loved the place! Just stumbled upon it. Cozy bar with tables but beautiful, fun eating area on outdoor patio! Such a great surprise! The food was so amazing and small plates perfect to share: mushroom toast, asparagus !! Amazing sauce! Gnocchi to die for! Lobster roll also great!! Seasonal desserts! Great drinks too - had a gimlet!! Soo yummy! Highly recommend this place!!

Garbage service. Bartenders have attitude as if there aren’t 87 other options in a 1 mile radius offering the same alcohol options. I witnessed multiple bar keeps huddled around each other in a deep conversation while a whopping 6 patrons were big leagued. The only difference in Charleston bars would be the level of service and this one failed.Enjoy if you want to waste your $$

We only had time for a cocktail and an appetizer, but that's all it took to WOW us with everything! Rae was very welcoming, polished and professional! Cocktails were thoughtfully crafted, and the smoked beef tartare was an experience in and of itself. We'll definitely be back!

This place is a scam. Our drinks were so watered down that there is no chance he actually poured a shot in any of them.

I do not write reviews often, but this experience was the most frustrating encounter I’ve had at a bar. I don’t want to call the entire establishment racist, but the events that happened were pure racism. 2 of my white friends were allowed inside wearing Air Jordan 1s and then 5 minutes later when my black friend arrived, he was not allowed to enter for having Air Jordan 1s on. The worst part, literally 2 minutes after he was turned away, another white man with Air Jordan 1s on was allowed to enter. The bouncers tried to say Nike’s were allowed but Jordan’s were not - the last man that entered and 2 of my other friends all had Air Jordan logos on the tongue of their shoes, but no one was turned away other than my black friend. When trying to discuss with the door workers, the door man was polite and trying to explain, but the woman was incredibly rude just trying to cut me off while asking for details of the policy. Our entire party of 18-20 people then left the bar to go somewhere that will not pick and choose who to enforce their policies on. DISGUSTING establishment and NO ONE FROM OUR PARTY WILL EVER BE BACK!!

Ate here after the bridge race. Service was very slow. Waited over an hour to get our food but we were patient because the place was slammed. Food was excellent. Avocado BLT and Fried Chicken Sandwiches were our fave! Bluegrass band was great. We will be back!

Food was good, but came out very spread out and we all had just about finished before one meal came out. They were very apologetic and comp the meal, which was nice of them. Not sure that I would try it again:(

I truly want to rate this higher but just can't based on our service experience. The cocktails were AMAZING! The food was pretty good, albeit pricey for small plates. We had the cauliflower, red pepper dip (my favorite), corn tostada and the perogies. All were tasty but then my husband ordered the Brussels sprouts. I've never tasted something so burnt. When I said something to the server, she said "that's how they are made." I get crispy. I get a little char but these were inedible. Then we waited and waited and waited for the check. It felt like she was ignoring us because I informed her about the sprouts.The other thing that was a little disappointing, if you call yourself prohibition and you look the part, why wouldn't you play that era of Music? It just fell flat for us. Not the experience we were looking for.

Our server Lyric was amazing. The food and drinks were awesome especially the mocktails for me. Our favorites were the beef tartare, bone marrow, lobster roll and tostadas. Can’t wait to go back!

Very cool decor. Food and service were just okay. Drinks lacked alcohol. Kind of like they weren't allowed to have it ?

My husband and I took my mom there for dinner and it didn't disappoint. We sat on the second floor by the bar and it was lively and energetic. The bartender was our waiter and he kept track of us and was rather humorous. The food was delicious and cocktails were tasty. Definitely will go back!
