Excellent 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 Cintron

Sexy 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'Neill

The renovation took it up a notch. Gorgeous sunsets , good cocktails . Flatbread and mussels are recommended.

Alexandra Previdi

Lovely 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 C

The views (especially at sunset ) can't be beat! Our favorite drink was the Peach Moscow Mule !

Becky Smith

Stumbled 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 .

Beautiful rooftop bar with a solid cocktail list . Vendue is a mustdue when in Charleston.

Briana Bailey

The 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 Brunson

Incredibly view at sunset , great food and drinks. Great place to just relax, have a drink and people watch .  Kevin Brunson

Charleston Area CVB

With 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.

Come here for the views alone. They also do decent mocktails if you’re don’t drink

Dimitri Roussos

It is the best rooftop ! Best 360` view of the city . Best in the early evening into sunset ...

Michael Jenkins

Can't say enough good things about this place. Grab a drink, sit back and enjoy the view .

Mind Media Group LLC

Great 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.

Nice rooftop bar . Stick to beer/wine as cocktails weren't very good.

Tom MacDonald

Absolutely awesome.......view can’t be beat and the service is friendly and great.

Alexandre Munhoz

Such a nice location with unique view .. I wish they could prepare good drinks..

The view is fantastic. Place is lively and just swanky enough without being pretentious .

Shannon Young

Get there before a thunderstorm, it's very cool to sit underneath the awning and watch it all with good music and drinks! Read more

Melissa Rosenthal

Great nightlife and awesome drinks. Great for groups !

Rob Zaleski

They make a decent old fashioned, but you should probably go with a house specialty cocktail .

Great 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 Kupasrimonkol

Freeze yourself like Han Solo using the giant pin impression toy next to the elevator .

Jessica Karle

Great view . Go during the day instead of at night to avoid the lines !

Jim Elkins

Bourbon view of the city and service are great

Abby Kroll

Incredibly view at sunset , great food and drinks

Lindsay Spindler

The staff is awesome but the majority of patrons are Jackasses and vapid girls with names like Carmen and Margot. Who ARE these people?!?

Chelsea Balkan

#FabuLIST #DubiDO come here to watch the beautiful sunset while enjoying a delicious cocktail

Andrew Sherland

Not 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 .

Nicholas Pritchett

The view is stellar. The drinks aren't the best, despite the prices. Had a better G+T at The Bar at Husk.

Alyssa

Ask for the hibiscus gin fizz !

Elizabeth Yannone

Good drink menu and nice rooftop

Mary Catherine James

Great place to go for a drink after work. Prices not bad.
