Sunshine and red chairs let you know it will be fun.our server Dana was wonderful. She was sweet and the perfect amount of attentiveness. I had the Meditariwn salad and it was perfect for lunch— fresh and satisfying. I could not eat all the olives and feta but it was nice to know there were plenty. The cocktails were delicious and complimented the atmosphere, fun! Thanks Dana.

Honestly, I think this is the best rooftop bar in Charleston. It's eclectically decorated, as is the rest of the hotel, but very relaxed and casual. Good selection of drinks as well as food. Great view both out to sea and towards the holy city. Give it a shot, you'll like it.

Great place to pick up a light snack or dessert and grab a drink. Upscale hotel rooftop. Can be crowded but worth a visit!

Even tho the bar was pretty packed, the patio was open so we sat ourselves and Milan came to take care of us! He did such a great job being attentive even while running around! Even the beer he recommended was so good! 10/10 will come again!!

We had an amazing lunch at the Rooftop Bar in Charleston during our girls trip, and Dana made it even better! She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and gave us great recommendations. We ordered the Meze platter and mahi fish tacos, both of which were delicious. The views were stunning, and the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing afternoon. Highly recommend Dana’s service and the spot itself, a must-visit!
