Dalila's

Inventive twists on classic cocktails. We decided to check this place out as it was around the corner from our hotel and we were not disappointed. We tried several drinks between us and my favorite was the dream girl, which was a savory flavored daiquiri that sounds weird but works so well it had me wanting more! Duffy the bartender was great at explaining all the flavors and gave us some great local Charleston tips too!

Dalila's was stop number 2 on our DIY Cocktail Crawl. We were told it was somewhat of a dive bar and very small. Small but MIGHTY! The atmosphere was fun and unique and the bartenders were friendly. We were only in for 1 drink, but easily could've stayed longer. I had the Pin Up from their Happy Hour Menu (Monday - Saturday 5-7pm). It was very reminiscent of a Pornstar Martini, just lacking the vanilla, but this was GOOD! So fresh and so full of real flavor, not just sugar. I'd 100% order again. Hubby had The Cougar and also enjoyed it. They had a Pizza Martini on special that I would've tried but I wasn't feeling savory. Maybe next time? Definitely put on your list to hit up for happy hour!

Good cocktails, friendly staff. Uncomfortable chairs, too loud.

Hunter and Duffy were great hosts! The vibe was immaculate! I will definitely come back! Thank you!

Absolutely incredible cocktails. Experimental but they never miss. Came two nights in a row. Hot and Dirty Martini changed the way I think about cocktails. Joel is an absolute superstar of a bartender.

My husband and I stopped by this bar and had a great time. The bartender was fantastic—super attentive and friendly. We were planning to head to another spot, so we didn’t finish our drinks, but he noticed and kindly offered to make us something else, thinking we weren’t happy with them. We assured him that wasn’t the case and promised we’d be back. It was a thoughtful gesture that made the experience even better. Drinks were great too, obvi!

Had a great time there on a Saturday night. Yummy drinks (very good Jungle bird) and friendly bartender. Will definitely visit again if I'm back in town!
