We always like to stop here for a drink when in Charleston. The staff is great and it's always fun to drink at a rooftop bar. Prices are average for Charleston. This time a thunderstorm came up but the staff rolled down the protective panels and we partyed on...

Fin Place to take guests visiting Charleston. Nice size roof top bar and place to eat. Food is good, not great , bit the atmosphere and live music when they have it is fun. The Top BAr is really quite good. Great views of the City and they have TV's too. Catch some sun, have a great beverage and chill... More

Went there twice on recent visit. Our first visit was on a Friday night. Service was slow, server ambivalent. Food was stale.

She was actually rolling her eyes as she walked away from our... More

We were looking for a roof top vantage lunch place and found the Rooftop. The food was good, but the service was ambivalent initially until we started talking sports and everyone perked up. I don't need the wait staff hovering, but do want water glasses full and to be asked if I want another beer or cocktail. The restaurant has... More

I went here to enjoy the roof top views. I was surprised with the entertainment. There was a cute gal singing some soft jazz songs with a couple of older gentlemen providing the musical backing for her. The happy hour price of $4 for margaritas was not bad either. The food on the other hand left alot to be desired.... More

I WANT to tell you to run to this place, sadly, the college crew have done that first and what could be a gorgeous bar with sprawling cityscape views is weighed down by the college crew that frequents it. Go early (around 5pm) and you'll likely escape the crowd and be able to enjoy the pristine views and inexpensive drinks.

Whenever my wife and I are in Charleston, SC, for a visit or business, we always stop in (or should one say, stop up) to the Roof Top Bar at the Vendue Inn on Vendue Range. The basic pub grub is very good there...but, the view of Charleston Harbor and Charleston itself is to die for. Plus, afternoons... stop there... More

Food is so so but it's really only a reason to linger. Come before sunset and head to the tip top.
