Elyse EstradaFebruary 16, 2015Excellent little escape, very reasonably priced with friendly and attentive staff. It's covered and they have heat lamps if it's cold so you can pretend you're outside. Play w/the pin art piece.

Erik CintronJuly 2, 2017Sexy hotel. Nothing really high in low country but makes it great to see the entire city. No buildings in the way. Drinks were good, the crowd is young and trendy. With low key music in the background
Dee O'NeillApril 15, 2015The renovation took it up a notch. Gorgeous sunsets, good cocktails. Flatbread and mussels are recommended.
Alexandra PrevidiMarch 31, 2019Lovely place to watch boats with a crisp glass of wine on a sunny day. If you wait a bit and are strategic, you can snag a table within 10-15 minutes. Crab artichoke dip was a tasty pre-dinner snack!
Paige CSeptember 2, 2017The views (especially at sunset) can't be beat! Our favorite drink was the Peach Moscow Mule!
Becky SmithSeptember 14, 2014Stumbled across this bar exploring our first night in Charleston. I couldn't have asked for a better night: rooftop chilling, relaxed vibe, beautiful view, good tunes.- The Tastes that Make the CityJune 2, 2015The rooftop bar is the best in Charleston, which is why it’s on our list of The Tastes That Make the City: Charleston.

Michael G.September 8, 2017Beautiful rooftop bar with a solid cocktail list. Vendue is a mustdue when in Charleston.
Briana BaileyFebruary 19, 2017The atmosphere was cool, music good, but the skyline in Charlestown is just not that impressive... (sorry, I might be spoiled by big city skylines!)
Kevin BrunsonOctober 26, 2015Incredibly view at sunset, great food and drinks. Great place to just relax, have a drink and people watch. Kevin Brunson
Charleston Area CVBMay 1, 2015With sweeping panoramas of the harbor, Charleston Waterfront Park, and the Ravenal Bridge, the Rooftop at the Vendue has the best view in the city.
Sabina B.May 28, 2022Come here for the views alone. They also do decent mocktails if you’re don’t drink
- Dimitri RoussosMarch 25, 2016It is the best rooftop! Best 360` view of the city. Best in the early evening into sunset...

Can't say enough good things about this place. Grab a drink, sit back and enjoy the view.
Mind Media Group LLCOctober 8, 2011Great place to shoot video or photography especially in the "twilight" hour. Use the very top deck with either the Charleston harbor OR Church steeples as your backdrop.
Tom MacDonaldAugust 30, 2019Absolutely awesome.......view can’t be beat and the service is friendly and great.
Alexandre MunhozJuly 20, 2018Such a nice location with unique view.. I wish they could prepare good drinks..
Aaron SabinoDecember 27, 2015The view is fantastic. Place is lively and just swanky enough without being pretentious.
Edy TaAugust 25, 2013Absolutely loved it !!! Guinness iced coffee cocktail i highly recommend !!! Plus service was great !!!
Shannon YoungAugust 8, 2011Get there before a thunderstorm, it's very cool to sit underneath the awning and watch it all with good music and drinks! Read more
Rob ZaleskiMarch 28, 2015They make a decent old fashioned, but you should probably go with a house specialty cocktail.

Sys EJune 11, 2012Great views from this rooftop bar - but if you can't get a seat outside, best to go somewhere else. It's a bit "generic sports bar" inside.
Mark KupasrimonkolAugust 27, 2015Freeze yourself like Han Solo using the giant pin impression toy next to the elevator.
Lindsay SpindlerApril 12, 2014The staff is awesome but the majority of patrons are Jackasses and vapid girls with names like Carmen and Margot. Who ARE these people?!?
Chelsea BalkanSeptember 21, 2018#FabuLIST #DubiDO come here to watch the beautiful sunset while enjoying a delicious cocktail
Nicholas PritchettSeptember 6, 2014The view is stellar. The drinks aren't the best, despite the prices. Had a better G+T at The Bar at Husk.
Andrew SherlandApril 14, 2013Not a fan of any place that I have to wait in a line to leave. No stairs ... Have to wait for the elevator .. 10 mins so far and nowhere close to the front of the line.
Joshua WilliamsJune 18, 2013Thanks for taking the best bar i knew in charleston and turning it into crap
- Linnea BJuly 19, 2010Nice vibe...relaxing and friendly and a great view of the city. Perfect for a summer evening.
Don't eat... Just drink and enjoy the best view in town
