What locals are saying
Citrus Club, perched on the 8th floor of The Dewberry Hotel, is broadly regarded as Charleston's premier rooftop bar, praised almost universally for its 360-degree skyline views and inventive, citrus-forward cocktails with theatrical garnishes. The consensus splits sharply on value: tourists find it a must-do, while locals treat it as a special-occasion splurge given the $100+ per-person tab that deters casual repeat visits. Food (small plates like crab dip, edamame hummus, elote fries) is considered decent but secondary — the draw is the view and the drinks.
On socials
Social posts and influencer write-ups consistently frame Citrus Club as Charleston's most photogenic rooftop spot — the 360° skyline views and steeple-studded backdrop are the real draw. Cocktails are the recurring hero: creators specifically call out the Tropical Itch, Smoke Screen, Long-Time Listener, Purple Rain, and the popsicle cocktail as must-orders, with mixology praised as 'inventive' and 'whimsical.' Food (warm crab dip, jerk chicken rice bowl, grouper sandwich, artichoke) is generally called secondary to the drinks — 'the artichoke serves more visual delight than culinary.' The dominant social complaint is price ($20+ cocktails) and capacity waits — multiple posts say to 'get there right at open' or you won't get in.
