Last Saint — Restaurant in Charleston

If drinks count as the food, I’ll give it 5 stars. We popped in here late last weekend while we were visiting Charleston, and it’s probably Charleston’s best kept secret.

Saturday night, the place was a vibe. They had a DJ, the disco ball spinning and the bartenders firing off drink orders. All the cocktails we had were great and the draft beers were only $5 (Coming from NJ, you can’t beat that) also served in chilled mugs.

They do have a speakeasy which can be reserved on resy but do note, they only sit tables of 6 so if you show up with a large number, it’s tough to get seated back there all together.

We loved it so much that we went back on Sunday night. It was a much chiller vibe but the bartenders remembered us, and were happy to talk to us for a little. Unfortunately didn’t get their names but the blonde haired girl and a dude with a mustache, those two need raises or promotions. Wanted us to come back on Monday but were had to fly home.

Again, all the drinks were great but if I had to recommend one, it was the “In Bloom”, which I ordered on accident but I fell in...

They nailed it. This place is everything I want in a bar, honestly. I saw comments about loud music in a “quiet cocktail bar”, which I find odd, as I don’t think they advertise themselves as such? I mean there’s a claw machine for one… I personally love that they’ve seemed to step outside a cliché “quiet cocktail bar”. It’s not stuffy or pretentious. It’s exactly what I want for a chill weekend vibe, while I’ve also been on a Tuesday and it hit all the right notes there too. The staff was super friendly and engaging. Put simply, it has a fun, carefree vibe and also happens to have insane cocktails. The Ginger #3 might be my favorite cocktail I’ve ever had.

There’s also a back bar that’s completely separate from the front. I haven’t been in there yet, but I’m intrigued. I was told it’s cozy and more intimate and has a separate menu. It’s on...

My Wife and I stopped here as a nightcap. We didn’t get to spend time in the back room/speakeasy portion, but was pleasantly surprised with the bartenders and drinks at the front bar. Shepard, or Shep, was an awesome bartender. I put him on the spot and told him dealers choice with a bourbon base and he did not disappoint. He made one of the most unique and tasteful Old Fashioned I have ever had. The taste was very complex and lasting! Couldn’t have asked for a better nightcap.

As for my wife, he made what she said was the best and most refreshing mocktail she has ever had. It was a type of cucumber mocktail that couldn’t be beat.

Highly...
