Downstairs lobby. Just gorg!!!

We had such a good time there with all our friends on the rooftop! What a vibe! What a view! Service was amazing and tasty! Ordered up some food and it was all presented really nice and plentiful. Our server PLUS another gentleman was helping our rowdy crowd, but they were nothing but nice. Because of this we went back today before leaving for the airport. Again, an awesome experience and the best truffle fries we have ever HAD! Keep it up, FL!

Rooftop bar at Hotel Bennet. Great views and nice seating inside and outside. We only had cocktails there and sat at the bar but would absolutely be back. Great place to show out of town guests/ visitors a beautiful view

Inside and ontop the Hotel Bennett, Fiat Lux is a nice reprieve from heat of the day. With expansive windows to take in the view with the air conditioning inside or with the breeze afforded by being up so high on the outdoor seating - it's a spot to relax and recharge with a nice cold drink. Our visit took place during the daytime and the atmosphere was light and airy. Unsure what the ambiance becomes once the sun starts setting and it transitions to the evening. Staff was attentive and drinks were delicious, price is reflective of the atmosphere though - so don't expect happy hour prices here!

I stopped in to Fiat Luxe with some girlfriends to kick off our evening of trying all the bar/dining options Hotel Bennet had to offer. Fiat Luxe is located on the rooftop of the hotel offering views of Marion Square (you'll have to walk outside on the patio if you want to check it out though) Service was fast and the cocktails were delicious! They offer a variety of signature cocktails, a full service bar, and a limited menu of bites and the vibe is elevated - in more ways than one considering you're on the rooftop ;) We all loved our cocktails and I'll definitely be back to try more from the menu! It's a great way to start your evening with Hotel Bennet (or cap off an evening)

This is a very cute and very small roof top bar at the top of the Bennett hotel. It's a nice place to have a drink especially at sunset. The view is quite nice. It's very hard to get food up here so don't plan on eating anything or getting some nibbles. This is really purely a place to get a cocktail. They have a tv that plays the sports games too if that's your thing. Not a bad place to have a nice cocktail and watch the game.

Stopped in for a quick drink at the rooftop bar. I ordered the keep you gin up and wanted to like it but it was just too herbal forward for my taste. The bar itself is cute with a good view on the rooftop.

Horrible! Worst service we've ever experienced at the bar! They need to hire some quality staff rather then worry about looks! Sad joke!

If you're looking for a spot in Charleston that truly leans into the holiday spirit, Prohibition…read moregoes all out with its Christmas decorations from the moment you walk in. It sets the tone immediately, and the festive energy carries straight through the meal. We kicked things off with Bloody Marys and a Morning Fog -- simple, classic, and done right. For starters, we shared the Hula Hoisin Wings. They were definitely on the heavier side with the hoisin, but still absolutely delicious. The Mistletoe Mango Tuna Poke Tacos were a standout. They come as a small plate with three appetizer-sized tacos, and every bite was bright, fresh, and beautifully balanced. The Buddy the Elf Burger offers a choice of a single or double patty; ours was cooked perfectly. The smoky bacon really brought everything together and gave it that extra "wow" factor. We rounded things out with the O Come, All Ye Fried Rice with Hanger Steak, which was another winner -- perfectly cooked, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. As if the meal wasn't great enough on its own, we happened to be there while Emily Curtis was performing. She's truly incredible and added such a fun, memorable vibe to the day. I'd be remiss not to mention Kevin our server. Go see him. He was great. The whole team works great together. Don't let the bar-like atmosphere fool you -- Prohibition is far from your typical bar food or bar scene. There's a great space in the back, and the elevated menu makes it absolutely worth the visit. A festive, flavorful, all-around fantastic experience.

Food and drinks were both good... not the best I've ever had but good…read more Lunch on a Friday... several ppl at the bar but we were the only seat customers. The waitress was indifferent and seemed as they we were bothering her ....which is fine, as I was equally "bothered" by her and her attitude. I liked the bar and restaurant and the menu was solid. Our service would have made this 5 stars but we have lots of other choices on King Street that will have staff more excited for our business.

The service was on point and the bartender was killing it at the bar - multitasking making 3 drinks all at once. It was super impressive and I took a few videos of him. I'm giving 4 stars because the first cocktail I ordered was SO SWEET that I couldn't get it down. I tried to drink it but had to send it back. We asked when we ordered about the flavor profile and supposedly it wasn't sweet, but all 3 of us agreed it was way oversweet. My black manhattan was phenomenal and my husband had a mocktail moscow mule that was awesome. Overall, I'd come back again - just be mindful of the ingredients in the drink and modifying as needed for sweetness. Make a reservation if you can!

There is a pay to park right behind the restaurant and usually where we park when coming here. We just love coming here!

Asked the bartender what would be good and he suggested the Creole shrimp. That sounded good and I've learned that you generally can't go wrong going with bartenders' recommendations. Anyway, they came out and they were WAY overcooked. They were like rubber and the seasoning was NOT on point. Honestly, I make Creole / bbq shrimp at home and they're always MUCH better than what I got at The Darling. The service (with the exception of the lousy recommendation) was decent enough. If I ever go back, I'll probably stick with oysters on the half shell. (Sorry no pic. I actually took one that day, but subsequently deleted it because it was so bad.)

My first time visiting a speakeasy since living in Charleston, and the Annex absolutely blew me…read moreaway. From the moment I walked in, the vibe was intimate, beautiful, and the perfect setting for a relaxed Saturday night cap. What made the experience truly special was the bartender. There's no traditional menu, instead, he takes the time to learn what you like and crafts drinks based on your taste. I've never experienced anything like that before. The level of knowledge and creativity behind the bar was incredible. Every drink he made was stunning and tasted even better than it looked. I was honestly so impressed that I couldn't even remember all the ingredients he mentioned because I was too busy being amazed at how good everything was. It was one of those moments where you realize there are real levels to this craft. I walked in thinking I knew a thing or two about mixing drinks at home, and left with a whole new respect for the art of it. The atmosphere, the personal attention, and the quality of the cocktails made this place feel truly top tier. Huge shoutout to the bartender, easily a 15 out of 10. Cool, knowledgeable, and passionate about what he does. If you're looking for an intimate spot for date night or just want to experience thoughtfully crafted cocktails in a beautiful setting, the Annex is the place. I will absolutely be back as soon as possible.

My husband and I visited Last Saint for cocktails before a group dinner when we were in Charleston…read morelast weekend, and it was the perfect place for drinks before a dinner. (On occasion, I rant about how we need more cocktail bars and wine bars that don't serve food at all or just snacks like nuts - don't get me started.) Last Saint is a really cool dual concept cocktail bar. The front of Last Saint is more casual - small, cozy, allows walk-ins. But you can also make reservations (or try to get lucky walking in) at the Annex. The Annex is their weekends-only cocktail experience in the back of Last Saint. You walk to the back of the bar and press ring the bell by the yellow door. Someone answers and seats at one of six seats at the bar and three small (but private) tables. The Annex is a no-menu experience. The friendly and creative staff ask you questions about your preferences for drinks and then make you something that fits the bill. It was personal and fun, and we enjoyed all the drinks we had. A reservation at the Annex is good for a 1.5 hour time frame, which was perfect for us to have two drinks before closing out and heading to our dinner reservation. We sat at the bar, which I loved, because we got to chat with the staff and watch them make our and others' drinks while we enjoyed our creative cocktails. The staff have a wide knowledge of cocktails and an almost endless supply of ingredients to choose from when making your drinks. A truly fun experience. One I haven't had in any other city. I wish there were more bars like Last Saint!
