10 Best Rooftop Bars & Restaurants in Charleston | Condé Nast Traveler

"Most cities have them these days: that upscale lounge that’s marinated in the history of mixed drinks, and brags an ever-changing menu of inventive craft cocktails and their highly-skilled makers. In Charleston, that place is The Cocktail Club above the Macintosh . Note the red leather sofas and whisky crate side tables before stepping on onto the roof garden, where high wooden walls and comfy benches make a perfect, secret garden-esque setting for that muddled fruit sundowner. It’s first come, first served, and it gets a little crazy at peak hours, but you can buy into VIP membership, expect to jump all the way to the front of that line." - Paul Oswell
