6 months agoThe Belmont is an amazing experience! Amy and her crew are absolutely lovely people! Very personable, warm and professional. The drinks are made perfect every time and the food is excellent! Once you visit the Belmont, you will find that it is simply the best in Charleston!
Tina Vandermeir
2 years agoThe Belmont was honestly one of the best places on our trip to Charleston! We had a bottle of wine and a charcuterie board. You can see them hand cut the meats in the back. Our waitress was also super friendly and is the reason we stayed (was quite loud due to a particular crowd, but that's not a reflection of this establishment).
Jordan Lazarus

2 years agoWe love hanging out here as the cocktails are always amazing while the service suave and chill. Great atmosphere. Seating for groups. We love sitting at the bar and had great chats with Vincent the bartender, a legend around Charleston. I recommend for anyone looking for that special cocktail that takes an artist to make!
Emily Hinman
year agoI absolutely love coming here, my favorite spot downtown! the vibes and atmosphere are always a 10, and the staff is incredible. Their attention to detail, down to the house made ingredients in their cocktails is impeccable. I couldn’t recommend this place more! Perfect for date night, or literally any night. Love yall

5 months agoBest espresso martini ever. Well, it’s a dirty chai martini, but it has espresso, so it counts. Small spot, dimly lit, very tasty.

Ed Vera
2 years agoLooking for a cocktail bar with a vibrant atmosphere but still intimate enough for conversation? Look no further! My wife and I stumbled upon this gem and were blown away. Not only were the cocktails expertly crafted and absolutely delicious, but the ambiance was the perfect balance of lively and cozy. We could easily chat and connect while enjoying the energetic vibe. The staff was incredibly welcoming and attentive, making the experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're taking a break from shopping or gearing up for dinner, this spot is an absolute must-try!
