Word on the street
What locals are saying
The Bar at The Spectator Hotel is consistently praised for its intimate 1920s speakeasy atmosphere, award-winning craft cocktails, and standout bartenders — with shout-outs to specific staff by name across multiple reviews. While it skews heavily toward hotel guests and visitors rather than locals, it is open to the public and noted as one of Charleston's top hotel bars. Criticism is sparse but the bar's appeal to walk-in locals is limited by its boutique-hotel setting and price point.
