"The Watch Rooftop Kitchen & Spirits opened atop boutique hotel the Restoration on the seventh floor, so it currently claims the title of highest elevation for a public space and carries incredible views of the Lowcountry. Stop by at sunset for a Instagram-breaking photo opportunity." - Erin Perkins
"A weekend in Charleston is not complete without a cocktail on a rooftop overlooking the city’s steeple-lined skies. Restoration Hotel’s sunny, swanky rooftop bar and restaurant, The Watch, will check that box. Drinks here are done-up but still approachable, like the elegant strawberry basil margarita. Don’t ignore the food, though, which is shareable Lowcountry fare, like a shrimp and chorizo bowl or a baked mac and cheese. The chic atmosphere makes it ideal for groups, dates, and pretty photos. Looking for more margs? Check out these other local bars serving Astral Tequila: Mesu; Uptown Social; Red Stripes; Carribbean; Mi Tierra; Carolina Crab Company; Ritual; Travinia; Poblanos; and Legami" - Kayleigh Ruller
"Head to the rooftop of the Restoration Hotel to find The Watch — a coveted backdrop for birthday parties, golden hour photoshoots, and romantic date nights in the sky. With lunch, dinner, and Sunday brunch, The Watch offers a guest-pleasing menu, dabbling in a little something for any palate, from mains like a classic burger and seared scallops to bread pudding French toast and mascarpone shrimp and grits at brunch. The Watch’s truffle fries should be universally adored, as should the aptly named Rooftop Margarita, crafted to pair with the sunny and steeple-lined skies that are in clear, panoramic view from up there. Pro tip: Go on the early end before a) the sun sets and b) the sought-after outdoor tables get snagged." - Kayleigh Ruller
"Celebrate the start of 2024 on one of Charleston’s premier rooftops where there will be live music, a silent disco, espresso martini bar, and selected bites from the kitchen. The evening festivities start at 9 p.m.; tickets start at $30 and go up to $200 for the VIP speakeasy experience." - Erin Perkins
"Enjoy Christmas high above the city at rooftop hotel restaurant the Watch. Linger in the sunset with a few drinks and friends. This year, the kitchen will offer a special $35 Christmas plate with prime rib, garlic potatoes, and honey roasted carrots." - Erin Perkins
