"A vibey cocktail bar recognized for craveable, creative drinks and a moody, hip atmosphere with lively playlists and mismatched decor; cocktails are bold and inventive—the 'Safe Word,' for example, mixes spicy tequila, Salers aperitif, lime, celery bitters, Ancho Reyes, and olive brine—illustrating the kind of experimental bar program the new project hopes to emulate." - Erin Perkins
"A trendy East Side cocktail bar created by a well-known local bartender as a more subdued alternative to the busy Upper King nightlife. The menu features well-balanced, photogenic drinks—try the Safe Word (a spicy, dirty tequila martini) or the Isle of Santorini (a gin martini with a note of mastiha)—and the bar has a reputation as one of the hippest spots on the peninsula for locals seeking quality cocktails." - Erin Perkins
"A relaxed, cocktail-forward bar where inventive drinks are served in a chill atmosphere; also recommended as a starting point for exploring the city’s essential bars." - Erin Perkins
"A bar praised for 'amazing cocktails in a chill atmosphere' and recommended as a solid starting point on a map of essential bars." - Erin Perkins
"Off-the-beaten-path bar Last Saint can play a lot of roles. It can be a quiet after-work spot for a well-made martini or a rollicking sundown space for a Mexican cold brew (think an espresso martini with tequila and Licor 43). Owner Joey Goetz is a bit of a legend in Charleston for his time at the Belmont and Bar George (plus his Get Down warehouse parties), and when he went off on his own, he made a bar that locals love and tourists can still feel welcome." - Erin Perkins
