Service & Experience
The Citrus Club is exclusive, with limited seating and a first-come, first-served policy...and hotel guests are prioritized. Expect a wait during peak hours, and honestly a little attitude from the person running the list if you aren't staying at the hotel, but the experience inside is worth it. Service is attentive yet relaxed, ensuring that you enjoy every sip and bite without feeling rushed. With Charleston’s skyline as your backdrop, time seems to slow down here.

What’s the Real Reason to Visit?
The Citrus Club is the rooftop bar in Charleston. Between the expertly crafted cocktails, small but solid menu, and unbeatable panoramic views, it’s an experience that feels both luxurious and effortlessly cool. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or just treating yourself to a sunset cocktail, this is the perfect place to elevate your Charleston visit—literally.

📍 Pro Tip: Arrive early, as seating is limited and no reservations are accepted, with hotel guests always being prioritized. Dress stylishly—there’s an upscale yet relaxed dress code. Also DO NOT VALET YOUR CAR. While the bar is excellent, I've had items from my car suddenly be found with the valet - and the hotel is less than accommodating when you ask for footage or try to investigate what may have happened. It's the reason I won't stay at The Dewberry anymore. I do still enjoy the Citrus Club though.
