What locals are saying
Last Saint is widely regarded as one of Charleston's best cocktail bars, with both locals and regulars consistently praising the craft drinks and skilled bartenders. The dual-concept setup — a front bar with a seasonal menu and the no-menu Annex in the back, where bartenders make bespoke drinks to your taste — is a standout draw. Criticism is minor and mostly centers on it getting loud and packed on busy nights.

The cocktails are the main event — the Safe Word, Old Salt, Tandem Bike, In Bloom, and espresso martini all get called out by name, with the Annex's no-menu, tell-us-what-you-like format drawing particular praise. The crowd consistently flags the low-lit speakeasy energy as the draw, though it gets packed fast and the small space runs hot on busy nights.
