Izzy was the best!! The entire time, she checked on us many times, came by after we settled up to see if we changed our minds and gave us multiple options for the most popular drinks and her favorites. Izzy is the kind of server you want every time you go ANYWHERE!!!The owner also came by numerous times to ensure we were comfortable and cared for.My family and I will 100% be back to see her and the staff again next time we come to Charleston! Best bar in the C-Town!!

The Belmont in Charleston is a hidden gem, blending innovative mixology with a cozy atmosphere. From classic concoctions to inventive twists, each drink is meticulously crafted, showcasing the bartender's expertise. The ambiance is inviting, perfect for intimate gatherings or casual nights out. The attention to detail in both presentation and flavor sets this bar apart, making it a must-visit destination for cocktail enthusiasts.
Unorganized. Asked to leave a table after we had been sitting there for a bit because a larger party arrived and there wasn't room for them at any of the other spots. I've never been to a bar that moved people around like a puzzle. First come, first serve has always been the norm. Also, the "bouncer" is weird.

This was a great spot for happy hour! We went on a weeknight in Jan, so King St was pretty mellow.But we got great prices on some really good cocktails, and then happy hour includes a discount on flat breads.Staff was super friendly and welcoming. It was a really nice and comfortable vibe to hang out and have a drink/snack.

Wonderful local bar with sophisticated details. The owner greeted us and happily shared some of the history this long standing meeting place on King Street. Worth a visit for sure.
Very classy little cocktail bar. I was looking for a place to get a drink on King Street and this place had room at the bar. The bartenders know their stuff. I ordered a Vieux Carré, which was perfect. When a guy inserted himself in the conversation I was having with a couple beside me, the bartender made it a point to ask if everything was ok and made eye contact to let me know he meant was EVERYTHING ok. As I left, one of the stakeholders was standing near the door. He asked if I had enjoyed myself and shook my hand. After getting some Insomnia cookies, I was waiting for my Uber and overheard him escorting two young men out to the sidewalk as he was explaining to one how should get the point that a chick is not interested. It's clear that the staff are serious about a clean and safe environment.

I loved the vibe at this place. Cute and cozy, great service. This is a great place to just chill with your friends and have a few delicious cocktails. Waitstaff attentive, drinks were excellent--martinis and other yummy offerings. It's fun and not too boisterous, and I love the location. Highly recommend.

This is the type of place not many people talk about but is worth to be talked about. It is right on king street but for some reason I never see a line to get in on weekends. The drinks are amazing. My favorite is black dog. There is a new server that needs to work on her people skills. She brought 2 drinks to the table and we asked what they were and who's they were and she said idk. Well we def don't know bc we never had them before... it's ok if you don't know either because you are new but the place only had 1 other table... she should've said one second let me ask and go to ask the bartender which is which. Other than that, the bartender was nice, the drinks were good, and the place felt comfy and upscale.

Absolutely love this place! Stopped by for some drinks before dinner and it ended up being happy hour, so that was a pleasant surprise. Great deal on the martini's and great selection to choose from too. Atmosphere is lovely and their playlist was fire!!!
