Entry No. 28 — the Charleston file — filed under: speakeasy

Smokin Rose Speakeasy

A Black-owned boutique cigar-and-bourbon speakeasy named after owner Quintin Collins's daughter, sitting on Meeting Street Road well north of the historic-district bar crawl — one of the stops on the national Black Cigar Map directory of Black-owned smoke lounges, pouring seasonal bourbon cocktails in a low-lit room built for lingering rather than Instagramming.

The move: Split a cigar, work through a bourbon flight, and let the staff walk you through the seasonal cocktail menu — a slower, unhurried alternative to the crowded King Street speakeasy scene.
