My favoritest spot for an awesome cocktail while hanging out with friends or just my husband. Best cocktails in town, with a Mad Men vibe. And if you get lucky to get a spot at the bar, make sure you listen to the most interesting stories that Thomas, the head bartender has to share!

A staple when I stop in charleston, this is by far my favorite bar. Tried their sweet potato basque cheesecake, divine.

The envy of all other lounges, The Living Room was a super cool experience. As you walk in, you seat yourself where available and find yourself immersed in the perfect vibe for a night out. We found ourselves on a couch in the center of the room, which was beyond comfortable, surrounded by great conversation and live music. After snacking on some caramel and smoked chili popcorn we ordered some drinks and garlic hummus which were divine. It just felt like you could sit there all night as if you were in your own living room, they really captured the concept they were going for. Will definitely be back and recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing night out.

We are staying in the hotel and have loved a relaxed afternoon in the lounge. Service is 10 star. All the team are amazing and go above and beyond. If your looking a welcoming place to relax then look no further

The Livingroom at The Dewberry is my go-to spot for a fantastic dining and hangout experience. The bar's beautiful ambiance, relaxing environment, and live music on Saturdays create the perfect setting for breakfast, dinner, or late-night drinks. The food is truly phenomenal, with the best vanilla latte and fresh daily pastries in the city. Chef Jenn's "From the Bakery" selection of three pastries is a must-try. Don't miss out on The Brass Bar's secret menu; the Sazerac is a personal recommendation. Having dined here numerous times, I can attest to the consistent excellence in service, food, and ambiance. The Livingroom at The Dewberry remains an outstanding choice for any occasion. Highly recommended!

Looking for the perfect spot to unwind with a drink before dinner or a cozy date night? Look no further than this elegant hotel bar at the Dewberry. Their Old Fashioned is the stuff of legend (trust me, I've had my fair share!), and the live music on Saturdays adds the perfect touch of ambiance. With its intimate atmosphere and expertly crafted cocktails, this place is a must-visit for anyone seeking a sophisticated pre-dinner experience or a romantic evening.

Top notch 1950s cocktail bar experience. Great staff. Live piano player. Delicious cocktails and cheese plate.

Such a nice place. Set inside the historic Dewberry Hotel the bar shares the lobby. We sat outside for cocktails and appetizers. We really enjoyed the service, atmosphere, and great people watching in Charleston. Recommend.
