Hidden beneath Tavern & Grocery, Lost Saint is one of Charlottesville’s best-kept secrets. The speakeasy vibe is intimate and stylish — low lighting, vintage touches, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
The cocktails are exceptional — creative, balanced, and beautifully presented. The bartenders are true professionals who can craft something unique based on your tastes. Service is always friendly and attentive without being pretentious. Lindsey and Connor were absolutely amazing!
Whether you’re on a date or out with friends, this is the perfect spot for a top-tier drink and great conversation. Easily one of the best cocktail bars in town.

Loved this tucked away speak easy! The cocktails were fresh and made to order and so delicious. The vibe was just cool and fun with great music playlist and gorgeous chandelier and cute lights and quirky knick knacks around the room. Definitely recommend for a drink!

An amazing mixology experience. Truly world-class cocktails served in a chic, bespoke environment by friendly bartenders who seem genuinely invested in making sure you enjoy their latest creation.
I’ll be back any time I’m in Charlottesville
Maybe a bit pricey for a college town, but worth it for an elevated experience.
The fries were good too.

We stopped by for a cocktail after dinner. Enjoyed both cocktail off the menu and a bartenders choice! Lots of pride & creativity in the cocktails served and it was nice we could order off the menu for upstairs when we were hungry.

Is it too soon to say this is my spirit home? Probably but between the drinks and apps. This has been my favorite spot in Charlottesville. I got the Burn the Strega (get it, it’s amazing) and the Dirty old Man (?) both were the best and I kinda want to make them at home. And the bison tartare is to die for.
Love love love.

Awesome speak easy with great cocktails. My fav watering hole. Nice to have a convo, not clubby/loud, very chillaxed. NEVER close folks.

A speakeasy vibe with architecture that sends you back in time. Loved the espresso martinis, did a walk around the entire floor to see all the antiques, and experienced top notch service!

The servers are awesome. The food is great. The bartenders were pretentious, rude to other staff and customers. Very uncomfortable sitting at the bar so we moved to a bar table away from them. Really wanted to love this place but bad ju ju from behind that bar. If you sit at the bar they just look right through you. Grab a table instead and order something to eat for a way better experience. Management needs to adress the bar issue… I get being stressed out and overwhelmed as a server or bartender… maybe servers could pour the wine or grab bottles to relieve some of the stress that is APPARENT in the service from the bar. Might give it another try, but won’t be sitting at the bar. The servers were very warm and attentive. They get 5 stars…. such potential. Quite disappointed.
