Pour Taproom: Charleston

"With its lofty perch up nine stories at the Hyatt House, this pour-your-own tap room enjoys the accolade of the highest rooftop bar in the city. The 70-odd drinks on tap skew beer-wards, but there’s a huge variety within that arena. Meads, ciders, fruit beers, and sours mix with IPAs, so there are plenty of options. There are a few red and white wines and a basic but serviceable list of cocktails that includes mojito and mule variations.  It’s one of the more unusual bars in town, but the novelty has a real charm, and it’s a lively, fun room to be in. You might want to pace yourself, though, or those city views might start to look hazy, and that would be a real shame given their allure." - Paul Oswell
