Stellar drinks with fabulous service! Absolutely loved the experience and would recommend

Last Saint is a small, low lit bar located off of meeting street. Parking is available around back in a lot or on the street. This is a small venue that make excellent cocktails at a reasonable price and an aesthetic that makes you feel cool and welcomed. Not pictured is the Annex bar at the back. This is a speakeasy that you must make reservations for. Overall, I love coming here. I only make it out every few months but the service is always great, I love the atmosphere, and the drinks are delicious. I had a dirty gin martini that is top 5 in Charleston. (Personal preference not saying it's actually named that.)

Came for 'Annex' speakeasy hidden in the back. The concept is fun. There's no menu and the bartender asks you a few questions to get a feel for your vibe, then customizes your drink. Sounds cool, right?! Unfortunately, after the waitress guessed my drink (by name) when I started talking about it, and then I saw menu cards with drink names presented to the bartender, and watched several of the exact same 3 drinks made and sent out, it quickly became apparent that the actual drink variety is very limited, and the questions are merely a guide to the most general of menus. Seated at the bar it also became apparent that although the shelved selection seems fun and interesting, most ingredients come up from underneath with generic products like 'Beefeater' gin making up the largest part of their cocktails. Sadly, once the man behind the curtain is revealed, the Wizard is unmasked as just a man, and the magic is gone.

Walk through the red door if you're willing to change your life completely and succumb to the cocktail chosen by the master craftsman. No menu, no problem. Great little speakeasy for the traveler looking for something off the beaten path. Cheers!

Make a reservation at the Annex!! Intimate, cozy and amazing speakeasy in the back of the bar. There is not drink menu. The cocktails are curated by the conversation you have with the waitress. Then she asks questions- likes and dislikes, and the bartender whips up an amazing cocktail to your taste. I cannot recommend this place any more. Plus they have mocktails for $7. Each custom cocktail is $16 which is very reasonable for the experience and quality. 1000/10 recommend

Whiskey Sour w/ egg white with a spin on it!

Annex is an absolute gem and a true speakeasy tucked behind Last Saint that delivers both atmosphere and artistry. When you walk in, head straight to the back and ring the doorbell, which immediately sets the tone for a hidden bar experience. There is no traditional drink menu, and that is part of what makes this place so special. The bartenders ask a few thoughtful discovery questions and then create a personalized cocktail based on your preferences. The presentation is beautiful and every drink we had was outstanding, especially if you appreciate a well crafted cocktail. I also love that they use real egg whites instead of vegan foams, which gives the drinks a rich and velvety texture. The space is intimate, cozy, and truly unique. Because seating is limited, I highly recommend making a reservation on weekends, although they do offer a standing table if you decide to drop in.

It's been a few years since I've been here and I honestly missed their menu. When I came a few years ago they had a great menu with a wide range of unique cocktails. Now they make cocktails based on conversation and neither of us were overly pleased or excited about the drinks we had. I think there could be a disconnect because a waiter is having the conversation with you not the actual bartenders. It also took us forever to get inside. Someone came out to use the restroom and that's the only reason someone came to the door despite us ringing the door bell several times and having a reservation. The vibe is still good for a date night but not sure if I will come back because the drinks were a miss.

Highly recommended by cocktail loving co-workers, I visited the Last Saint twice - once in the main bar and once in the Annex. I loved this place. Located just a little off the people heavy King Street Last Saint had a front room which is very grandma-chic, like a bar met an antique store and had a kid, and a back room, the Annex, which is mellow, intimate, and delightful. The difference is that the front bar has a fixed menu of delightful cocktails and the Annex doesn't believe in menus. They need no menus because they are awesome. Both visits I had a great time. The Last Saint offers amazing, inventive cocktails while acknowledging the classics with all the hospitality I enjoy in Charleston. I was shocked to find that I was remembered from my first trip. I don't consider myself noteworthy, so I was taken off guard with the recognition. It was such an amazing experience!

This is a quaint little cocktail spot that you need to put on your list! It's nestled in an unassuming spot downtown, but the cocktails are *chefs kiss* and the service is outstanding. We've been here a couple of times, and they usually change up the menus, however they do have their staples. This time, we ordered the Family Crest, which is their signature old fashioned, the Pinwheel, and the Old Salt. All were perfectly crafted and looked beautiful. We had several others with us, and all the cocktails were to die for. We even had someone with us who wasn't super into cocktails, and the server took the time to ask about what she liked and he was super knowledgeable and accommodating. The space itself is on the smaller side and has about 8 bar seats and several tables. We were able to pull some together for our group of 5 without a problem. There was some soft music and dim lighting to escape from the heat and hustle of Charleston as you enjoy your perfectly made cocktail. Make sure to put this spot on your list while you enjoy your downtown Charleston experience!

Are there any close (walkable) restaurants that are recommended?

Yes! You're just a block from King Street which has a ton of restaurants, and not far from Spring Street that has several as well. Super walkable from here!

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.)
