The Rooftop at The Vendue, Charleston

Apart from staying guests, The Vendue art hotel lures in a regular crowd of cocktail-drinkers with a two-tiered rooftop experience, known as The Rooftop Bar. Charleston's original watering hole, this place stands out from typical rooftop bars by offering not just two levels, but two distinct bars, with lovers of live music welcomed every Sunday from April through October.

Both levels feature different atmospheres, including covered and fully open areas enlivened by lively pop-art installations that are sure to keep the Instagram-savvy crowd snapping away. Wooden decking, sun-shaded wicker furniture, chic lighting, and gleaming bar tops create the perfect backdrop for an upscale rooftop adventure.

The dual-level setup is a big draw, as are the sweeping views of Charleston Harbor, Waterfront Park, The Arthur Ravenel Jr. Bridge, and other landmarks, providing an ideal setting for mingling with friends and fellow patrons over an al fresco lunch or refreshing drinks in a lively atmosphere. The cocktail list is just quirky enough without being intimidating, while beers and wines run a reassuring gamut of international and local. As with the drinks, the food offering is also impressively diverse with a little extra to satisfy various tastes.

Why You Should Visit:
In addition to its breathtaking rooftop terrace and bar, the hotel provides a treat for art enthusiasts. Throughout the property, you'll find gallery spaces hosting rotating exhibitions curated by Robert Lange Studios, a respected local art gallery.

Tips:
To access the bar, you'll need to enter the hotel and take the elevator up. Don't miss the chance to take a photo in the interactive display near the elevator doors, where you can pose as the couple from the famous "American Gothic" painting. If you're headed to the upper-level bar, turn left immediately after exiting the elevator, and then walk up the stairs.
