30 Days 30 Faves – Cocktail Club Charleston
Cocktail Club is the exact place where we coined the terms “Cocktail Bandits”. We found ourselves at the end of the night with a table full of glasses of all shapes and sizes in different states of imbibe surrounded by good friends discuss past adventures and future plans of mischief.
We had no intention of staging at the bar that long and absolutely no inkling. That we would consume that many spirited beverage.
That typical of our time spent at Cocktail Club. Before your realize it, you’ve sipped hours away in the dimly light upstairs bar entertainment by the preparation of each drink and the look of satisfaction on the face of its intended.

30 Days 30 Faves – Republic Reign
Of course, Republic Reign of Charleston has to be one of our favorite spots because it’s always poppin’. It is the most popular nightclub and bar here in Charleston.
Ma
Every weekend night, it’s packed! We have had quite a few memories in Republic. We collaborated, hosted, and pulled off an awesome day party there last year and that really inspired us to do more events!
They have partnered with us on several different projects and they have all been successful! We believe that Republics most memorable features are the infamous eclectic blue couch and spacious outside patio.
The bartenders in Republic are amazing as well. Wayne and Chris are so accommodating and so creative! We are so thankful to have them in our city. Hannah their female bartender that served us during our photo shoot is amazing not to mention super beautiful! She made us several cocktails with out featured spirit, Avion, that were delicious! If you ever want to go out and shake a leg here in Charleston, Republic is the place to be!

30 Days 30: The Orange Spot Coffee House
The Orange Spot Coffee House in Park Circle has to be one of our favorite favorite places in Charleston. Park Circle is a hidden gem, the Bandits are usually enjoying the downtown area, but this place is new and emerging… Also very family friendly.
The owners of the Orange Spot, Laura and Julie, are just some special ladies. Since the first time we walked into their establishment, we were greeted with smiles and orange brightness; not to mention amazing coffee and wonderful service. These gals tend to be modest about their beverage curating skills, but they are very creative baristas. Various spiced simple syrups as well as their sage lattes were the highlight of our morning. These ladies also made us some of the most delicious craft coffee cocktails that we’ve ever tasted. The group favorite had to be an Avion Expresso coffee cocktail that was spiced with hot peppers and garnished with chocolate shavings; it was sweet, and definitely had a kick at the end.
If you are a coffee lover, and want to try some delicious new creative coffee drinks, then you have to check these ladies out! You don’t know what you’re missing…
Also we want to thank the Orange Spot Coffee House for hosting us and showing us how diverse and AWESOME coffee can be!
