While visiting in Charleston, we stumbled across this little gem! Take a stroll down E. Bay st and you’ll see some water grates in the sidewalk. Look closer and there will be a few skeletons trying to escape! Beyond the skeletons, there is a small window into a local speakeasy in downtown Charleston. Push the door nearby open, walk past the do not enter sign, down the stairs and voila, you find The Vauté.
It was bustling busy, but worth getting a quick cocktail before turning in for the night. Bartenders were very attentive, great service!
