What an awesome and truly unique experience. I’ve been to speakeasies all across the country, and the fun thing about them is that each one feels a little different. This one was no exception. It’s very intimate and very small, with a creative concept and fun, unique drink options.
There is essentially one bartender who creates the menu and runs the entire experience, and she is absolutely amazing. You can tell how much care and skill goes into everything she does.
What really sets this place apart is how private it feels. Silk dividers separate each seating area, so even though you’re in a speakeasy, it feels like it’s just you and your party. That privacy makes conversation easy and relaxed, almost like having your own hidden space.
I highly recommend it. Definitely make a reservation, because you won’t get in if you just show up. If you do, settle in and enjoy the experience.

Katie was PHENOMENAL. Created the most welcoming environment and was very knowledgeable about the drinks. She helped us make informed decisions trying new cocktails, and they didn’t disappoint. 10/10 best birthday surprise I’ve had!

This is a must do stop when I’m Charleston. Make reservation, it’s a small space, it’s right past the entrance to Big John’s and maybe associated with BJ’s (BJ’s name was on the bill). Not a lot of signs marking the entrance! Ring the bell and they will come out and get you. Cocktails are great, expensive, but an awesome atomsphere!

Katie took great care of us, she was awesome! And this spot is not to be missed if you are visiting Charleston. We didn’t have reservations but were fortunate that they could seat 6 of us. It’s like being cozy in someone’s old fashioned parlor with craft cocktails and a delightful charcuterie board. Highly recommend!

Surreal, special, spectral! An honest to goodness speakeasy that offers a rare opportunity to slow down in an area that can be overwhelming. Katie behind the bar is helpful, quirky, and beyond talented. Would highly recommend making a reservation because it will fill and the space is kept intimate.

Certainly was fooled by the speakeasy front. Well played Looking back, their website offers dead giveaway clues.
Upon finally reaching the inside, we’re greeted by a vintage-style speakeasy and warm service. Small corner Prohibition bar with antique decor throughout. The Espresso Martini was spot on, as was their Mezcal Old Fashioned. Above par cocktails in a historical interior were well worth the visit!

I was doing a solo trip to Charleston and wanted to check out a speakeasy! I had such a great experience. The bartender was amazing and super friendly! Then cocktail I ordered was balanced and delicious! Great atmosphere and service! I would recommend this place to everyone visiting Charleston.

This place was recommended to us by the hotel we were staying at close by. Made reservations on Resy and confirmed reservation the day before. We showed up and never got to provide the password to get in — not a big deal, but part of the excitement and experience. Anyways, we were seated by the bar and the bartender was extremely attentive and friendly. Her drinks were stellar My hubs got a Moscow mule and I got the Shamrock Martini. The atmosphere was dark and decorations were very vintage/antique style which was really fun. My only piece of feedback would be around the clutter that existed around the bar area that was poorly covered by a hanging sheet. If you sit near the bar you have a direct view into essentially a closet full of stacked up boxes and items hanging out. Other than that, everything was perfect and I wish we could have stayed longer.

This speakeasy has a hidden entrance with a plain black door that requires a switch to enter. It’s a cozy spot with creative and delicious cocktails. The food options include macarons, a charcuterie board, and cake, but they could use more variety. I would definitely return!

Absolutely enjoyed Caviar with Katie. It was my first time in the establishment and it’s such a vibe. The thoughtfulness in the cocktail and caviar pairing was obvious. I’m still thinking about that Old Fashion. Delish!
