“ 03/13/2025 - Vintage Lounge We decided to drop in for a drink after our dinner. It was DELIGHTFUL!! We didn't eat there (obviously) but the drinks and atmosphere was very fun. We met the nicest bartenders (Ford and J.R.) and sampled different cocktails and took in a fun lecture on the cocktails from the 20's and 30's. The range of liquors is limited, but they make great combinations. And the atmosphere is GREAT. This truly was like "going back in time". We will be back!! ”
“ I’ve been searching for the best espresso martini in Charleston and hands down this is the best one!! It’s creamy, not too bitter and the foam ratio was perfect! I will definitely be back and would recommend this place! ”
“ My experience at vintage lounge on Tuesday the 10th was something special. Maggie Hogg truly made it personable by getting to know us as a party and recommending cocktails and charcuterie. The espresso martinis were wonderful and service was excellent. We will definitely be back!! ”
“ This is long overdue, but my husband and I love this place so much we’ll just drop in when we’re in the area to say hello to Nathan!! The first time I went there I loved the vibes. It has a very intimate setting with impeccable style and then if you want to stay even later through the night-they know how to keep up with the rest of upper King Street in a tasteful way ;) Honestly hope one day they’ll move to Broad St or somewhere south of Calhoun because I think they’re too good for that area! Their charcuterie boards are amazing, wine is divine, cocktails spot on and I think their fun Porrons is their specialty. Their staff is so kind and we’ve developed great friendships with some who used to work their. Can’t count how many birthdays we’ve celebrated their, business vendor parties, sporting events (definitely visit during the Kentucky Derby for a bougie time!) Highly recommend this place and our favorite time to go used to be on a Friday around 8 or 9 to keep the night going or start it off! Love you Vintage Lounge!! ”
“ Service was amazing and they have the best cocktails in Charleston by far! My server Maggie was very attentive and very knowledgeable on their menu. Would highly recommend! ”
“ Very nice place for an evening cocktail. Our bartender was pleasant and eager to share recommendations and was proud of his art. They also have an extensive wine list. ”
“ Fantastic charcuterie board, tasty Espresso Martini, New York Sour, and even an Irish Redbreast Old Fashioned for St. Patrick’s Day. We came here to have a small bite before dinner elsewhere. Loved the ‘20s vibe and artisan bartender feel. Worth a visit for sure! ”
“ Amazing cocktail lounge with a darker, cozy atmosphere. Great place if you're looking for something a little more quiet and relaxing. Large selection of wines and spiritous cocktails, with a delicious food menu. ”
