I have been twice now on different visits to Charleston and made sure that I went the second time. Food is spot on, loved every dish we tried and we had great cocktails this summer. Really a good atmosphere and certainly worth the wait to be on the rooftop. It is a bit of an industrial view right now but it is a great view nonetheless. Would recommend!

Service was really good. The waitress made some really good drink recommendations and even explained to us what the party pouch was.

Rooftop dining atop an old hotel in downtown Charleston. Interesting, eclectic menu. Most prices $10 – $20, with premium seafood items, such as scallops, $35 and up. My wife loved her interesting nachos (not typical nachos). My dinner came with fries which can be upgraded. I got truffle-cheese fries. Addictive!

Delicious food, attentive service, incredible views. The fried greed tomato and nacho appetizers were phenomenal. Entrees enjoyed included the fresh catch (halibut), the terrace, and shrimp and grits. All were delicious! Cocktails were creative and delightful as well. Bam made some excellent recommendations. Views of Charleston at sunset really was the cherry on top of a perfect evening meal. I understand that this is a new menu. If you haven’t been there in a while it’s worth a trip back.

I just stopped in to have a quick bite to eat and overall I enjoyed my experience! I found out that they only serve drinks and appetizers between 4-5pm so I waited a little while to order a salad from the dinner menu. I tried a small portion of the arugula and watermelon salad and it was delicious! Very refreshing for a hot summer day! They also have “zero proof” (nonalcoholic) beverages on their drink menu so I tried one and it was pretty tasty. I would recommend sitting outside on the patio if you can bare the heat and the wind! Will definitely try again.

Beautiful spot that’s easily overlooked, just off the hustle and bustle of King Street.

We went to the rooftop bar for the hotdog and beer special on mondays. Which is listed as a meal of 2 brats and a beer. When we got there we asked the bartender for the special for the day and they were not aware of a special, asked a manager and the manager assured us that was the special for the day. It is listed on their website and was advertised on a poster outside the elevator to the restaurant. We had a couple beers before ordering the hotdogs and then come to find out they didn’t even have the hotdogs in the kitchen. They offered for us to pay for a burger and they would provide a beer if we ordered the burger. Instead of an advertised happy hour special they wanted us to pay full price for an overpriced burger and would comp a $5 domestic beer. After we’ve already paid for multiple beers thinking we’d get a cheap happy hour meal.

I absolutely LOVE this go-to spot DT CHS! I always bring friends here, both local and visiting, for great cocktails and the heavenly truffle fries. Their burrata toast is delicious, but my favorite dish is the shrimp. Always will be a huge fan of the watch! ALMOST FORGOT to mention the matcha martinis. TOO GOOD!!!
