We love stopping by here for a cocktail and snack. This visit was after we visited a few Christmas lighted venues nearby. Love the interior holiday decor, and the various seating options. It’s good for 2 or more, and their cocktail selection is broad. We enjoyed espresso martinis and the chocolate cake on this visit. The Living Room is a wonderful place to sit, visit with friends and soak up some relaxing adult time.

The atmosphere and aesthetic at The Living Room are simply impeccable — that perfect blend of mid-century modern and classic Charleston sophistication. It’s one of those spaces that just feels good to be in.
I’ve been here many times for cocktails, and they always knock it out of the park. Thoughtful, balanced drinks served with real skill — consistently excellent.
On my most recent visit, I stopped in for lunch and was genuinely surprised by how good the food was. I already have high expectations, and this exceeded them. The brunch we had would easily rival (and frankly outperform) many of the top dinner menus in Charleston. Beautifully prepared, flavorful, and refined without being fussy.
It’s rare to find a place that nails both ambiance and execution across the board, but The Living Room does exactly that. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed drinks and snacks had great conversation in this beautiful setting. It’s small and there aren’t too many tables inside. The Christmas decorations were lovely.

We have been going here for a pre-dinner cocktail for years on Christmas Eve, it’s a nice warm and inviting atmosphere and usually has a nice holiday vibe. Not sure what’s going on but this year’s but the vibe was definitely a little less inviting this year, especially when they heard we were not guests. Snacks are usually top notch as well(albeit extremely overpriced but I don’t mind paying for good food and service) but this years charcuterie was at a level could get at the meat counter at Harris Teeter, disappointing all around, never even bothered to explain what it was because it was probably random salami and various forms of mild cheddar. You can’t charge $50 for a board and under deliver in this town. This used to be on my list of hotels to recommend for visitors but with so many great options in town, I would recommend trying some others, I’m pretty sure this was the last year for us.

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.

I just realized that despite all the times I’ve been here, I’ve never left a review. I want to take a moment to highlight two people who are truly the reason I keep coming back and why I recommend this place as often as I do. Maddison and Meghan are some of my favorite people I’ve ever met in the food and beverage industry. Their customer service, depth of food and beverage knowledge, and overall grace are unmatched. They are what make the Living Room what it is.

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!

The Living Room is the main bar at The Dewberry Hotel, at ground level off the lobby. It’s full of cozy seating, and that’s really all there is to it. The “bar” itself is very small and may or may not have any seating. When I was there today, there were no bar stools at the bar. The bartender was friendly and responsive, said I could order a drink, take a seat out there somewhere, and they’d bring it out to me. I did, and it was a solid Old Fashioned. No one ever came to check on me or bring the bill.
