10Best Says

Stepping into The Cocktail Club is akin to stepping back in time to Charleston of the prohibition era. Located just above The Macintosh at 479 King Street, The Cocktail Club prides itself on superior cocktail craftsmanship and service. This intimate, brick-walled 'hideout' also features a rooftop deck, which doubles as the source garden for cocktail garnishes. If you're a frequent visitor or local to Charleston, consider joining as a Cocktail Club member. Memberships at the Cocktail Club include 50% off of happy hour prices (5-8pm), no line waiting, attendance of the biannual membership party, one free cocktail class per year, one private spirit tasting invitation and more. Memberships are priced at $200 per person or $350 per couple.

Best Nightlife: "A line forms early on weekend nights. Elect to visit on a slower weeknight or get there early for quicker entry and better space."
Bars: "Check the Cocktail Club website and social media pages to see if they're hosting a cocktail class during your visit!"

Recommended as Best Nightlife Because: The Cocktail Club is serious about serving the city's best cocktails, hosting cocktail making classes and sourcing herbs and accouterments from their rooftop garden.
Best for Bars Because: The Cocktail Club offers a more intimate atmosphere than busy area bars, and the focus here is clearly to serve the absolute best in cocktails.
