We were a party of 5, entered based on a recommendation of our hotel. The place was practically empty and was told they had no availability for us to stay. The young lady was rude and snooty. We went to Last Saints and had a blast and spent a fortune, your loss Scotty!

Tucked away behind an unassuming facade, this spot is pure Charleston magic. Dim lighting, impeccable cocktails, and lowcountry charm create an unforgettable experience. The thoughtfully crafted drinks and a whispering vibe make you feel part of a well-kept secret. A true hidden gem—if you know, you know.

Best drink I’ve ever had! This place is a must.

Awesome spot, highly recommend a reservation because it’s a smaller spot. Can not find a more chill spot to grab a cocktail, and one of the best cocktails around town. Fantastic staff who truly enjoys what they’re doing and it shows. Great place to enjoy a good cocktail and converse with friends and actually hear the conversation.
Can not recommend it enough!

Surreal, special, spectral! An honest to goodness speakeasy that offers a rare opportunity to slow down in an area that can be overwhelming. Katie behind the bar is helpful, quirky, and beyond talented. Would highly recommend making a reservation because it will fill and the space is kept intimate.

Katie was PHENOMENAL. Created the most welcoming environment and was very knowledgeable about the drinks. She helped us make informed decisions trying new cocktails, and they didn’t disappoint. 10/10 best birthday surprise I’ve had!

Very fun place with delicious cocktails. I couldn’t believe the whole room was being served by just one waitress/bartender but she did great keeping up with everything! Would definitely return and recommend to others.

I was doing a solo trip to Charleston and wanted to check out a speakeasy! I had such a great experience. The bartender was amazing and super friendly! Then cocktail I ordered was balanced and delicious! Great atmosphere and service! I would recommend this place to everyone visiting Charleston.

Amazing service, drinks, ambiance, and overall experience. We were here during the early evening of 7/26/25. We didn't get the name of the bartender (who was actually running the entire operation, incredibly well we must say) but we want to give her a special shoutout! Not only did she make excellent cocktails, but we had such a nice experience chatting with her. She really took the time to get to know us and make a connection, despite being quite busy juggling her various roles at the speakeasy. I say that only to compliment her- the speakeasy was phenomenal BECAUSE of her. Everyone at the speakeasy was having an amazing time. Her patience, diligence, vibe, friendliness, and bartending were just unparalleled. We'll definitely go back here next time we're in Charleston, and hopefully see our same friend!
