Awesome speak easy with great cocktails. My fav watering hole. Nice to have a convo, not clubby/loud, very chillaxed. NEVER close folks.
A fantastic surprise! Just dropped in for a cocktail, the drink, atmosphere and staff were amazing. Highly recommend for a small group and conversation.
I stopped in here for the first time a little over a month ago on my way back from a hiking trip. I'm glad I did. I went to the downstairs bar and had a couple drinks before their last call. I was extremely impressed by how personable the bartender was that was helping me that night. He was exactly what you'd hope for in a bartender in this type of establishment. Knowledgeable on the drinks, informative several matters, gregarious, and didnt seem to mind holding actual conversations with his bar patrons. In addition, the other bartender with whom I interacted seemed to be the same way. Further, a waitress that was coming up to the bar for her table's drinks was also extremely friendly. For those of you thinking this staff friendliness resulted in un-prompt and slow service, think again. Service was not at all stymied by this. I don't review too many business on Goolge. But I made it a point to do so for this one. The fact that I took time out of my day to do this review over a month after my visit to this establishment should speak for itself. I'll certianly come back next time I'm in Charlottesville
Is it too soon to say this is my spirit home? Probably but between the drinks and apps. This has been my favorite spot in Charlottesville. I got the Burn the Strega (get it, it’s amazing) and the Dirty old Man (?) both were the best and I kinda want to make them at home. And the bison tartare is to die for. Love love love.
Let Leo be your spirit guide while you traverse the Lost Saint craft cocktail booklet in this magical speakeasy. Start your journey with a curated cocktail by Leo from his menu, order dinner from Tavern & Grocery upstairs [their Charred Brussel Sprouts and the Butternut Risotto were phenomenal], order another cocktail or two, but don’t forget about their full bottle bar with items like Weller Full Proof and HW Bourye, among many other great whiskey - just ask Leo for a recommendation. Lost Saint is an awesome experience with Leo’s abundant spirit knowledge and craft bartending expertise. We highly recommend a visit for wonderful service, delicious food, and the best craft cocktails in a speakeasy vibe. Just note that Lost Saint is in the basement of Tavern & Grocery and it is not family friendly. A few of our whiskey craft cocktail favorites: Old Fashioned Romance (Strong, Bitter, Fruity), Dragon’s Blood, O’s (Strong, Smokey, Sweet). This will forever be our Charlottesville staple stop!
Loved this tucked away speak easy! The cocktails were fresh and made to order and so delicious. The vibe was just cool and fun with great music playlist and gorgeous chandelier and cute lights and quirky knick knacks around the room. Definitely recommend for a drink!
An amazing mixology experience. Truly world-class cocktails served in a chic, bespoke environment by friendly bartenders who seem genuinely invested in making sure you enjoy their latest creation. I'll be back any time I'm in Charlottesville Maybe a bit pricey for a college town, but worth it for an elevated experience. The fries were good too.
A speakeasy vibe with architecture that sends you back in time. Loved the espresso martinis, did a walk around the entire floor to see all the antiques, and experienced top notch service!
