The Cocktail Club

This was the fourth and final stop on our DIY Cocktail Crawl. 🥂 Did we save the best for last? Perhaps! The atmosphere was very eclectic and unique. You walk upstairs and get a warehouse feel/older mid-construction. There are walls sectioning everything off, but just the bones, not the wall. Low lights and different styles of furniture further set the mood. There's also an outdoor patio that must be reserved for special events because it was kind of hidden and vacant. 🍹I had the Certified Loverboy. I'm not a fan of Mezcal though, so they swapped out tequila. It was so good!!! The passionfruit paired with the dill was doing it for me!!! 100% get again. 🍹 Hubby had The Stay at Home Dad and seemed to enjoy it. I'd definitely hit this place up for Happy Hour! Drinks were in the $15 range.

This is one of my favorite spots in the city. The band that was playing on Thursday was superb - as a musician, I really appreciate their level of talent and creativity. The drinks and bartenders' service were excellent. One really important aspect to a place like this for me is that I could sit in an area where the setting feels social, the volume is well balanced for conversation without yelling, and it's the right amount of busy. 10/10 would recommend to a friend.

If you’re looking for a bar that actually feels like a bar — THIS IS IT. The energy here is so authentic, you can tell immediately that the people working here genuinely care about the vibe and the experience. Huge shoutout to Alex, Kris and Esteban behind the bar. Nothing is rushed — every drink is made with intention, and it shows. Whether you want something classic or something adventurous, they nail it every time. The security is top notch keeps everything in check and safe in a fun way too!!! Great people This bar isn’t just about getting a drink — it’s about the experience. Amazing drinks, incredible staff, and an atmosphere that feels real, warm, and electric all at once. Once you come here, it’s hard to go anywhere else. 10/10, no notes.

We were here on a Wednesday night and they were giving Salsa dancing lessons. The music and atmosphere was fun. The biggest surprise is our visit was the charcuterie we ordered. By far the best we have had. They have made it where you can make your own.

Incredible atmosphere, service, and the most expertly crafted drinks - such attention to detail. My partner and I discovered Cocktail Club while on vacation - we saw the sign for happy hour. We were blown away. We went upstairs and it felt like we entered a speakeasy hidden in the attic of an old mansion. It was magical - the furniture, artwork, chandeliers, exposed beams and unfinished walls. We felt like we found our secret hideaway. The staff was so personable and so skilled making drinks and making us feel valued. We returned the next 3 days. They made us feel like family. Thanks Kris. Thanks Kate. We're planning our next vacation now and Cocktail Club is a top priority. Our highlight for sure.

My favorite bar ever!!! I’ve been going here every weekend since I moved to Charleston 3 years ago. The staff is amazing and welcoming, the dirty and espresso martinis are my favorite. They also have a band and a dj depending on the night which is always the best music. If you’re looking for a bar with great music and drinks go hereeee

Genuinely one of my favorite places to get a drink in town! The atmosphere is very welcoming and just a vibe all around, especially Wednesdays-Sundays when they have live music. On top of that the cocktails are amazing! It’s very obvious that each bartender takes their time in crafting each cocktail every-time they make them. I can always count on cocktail club for a good time and for great hospitality!

We ventured to 24 different bars/restaurants during our stay and the cocktail club was hands down the best cocktails of them all! Esteban was amazing! So creative, knows his stuff and was very accommodating. This is a must try place if you want a unique but good quality cocktail.

Walking back to the hotel, I realized how alive King Street gets at night 🌙✨ Honestly, it almost feels like the city could benefit from temporarily closing the street to cars — there are so many bars and nightlife spots that the sidewalks get pretty crowded, and a pedestrian-only setup would make it way more comfortable to walk through 🚶‍♂️🎶 The energy definitely builds as the night goes on. If you head into bars before 10 PM, there’s usually no wait at all 🍸 But after 10:30, it quickly turns into long lines everywhere 😅 We ended up randomly picking a spot with a short wait — more about soaking in the atmosphere than anything else. A mojito in hand 🍹, live band playing, and a saxophone that honestly sounded incredible 🎷✨ Super chill, super fun — definitely one of those “just go with the flow” nights that ends up being unexpectedly great 💛
