    Nice spot in Charleston. Low key low music. Very small but awesome place. Great bartenders making some amazing drinks. I would of liked a little more intimate space. The finger food was good and fresh

    Proof pays homage to Charleston’s long-running love affair with Madeira, a fortified wine, with its popular Smoldering Manhattan cocktail.

    Ask the bartender for a "knuckleball". His version of a Manhattan, but better. Great story behind it as well.

    The Martinez comes with a manchego cheese garnish. Delicious combo! Definitely get the knuckleball if you’re a Manhattan fan.

    Duck rillette and pickled eggs are must haves. Pair them with the PGT. Great addition to upper King!

    Eccentric cocktails with an acquired taste. The cocktails were just ok but it was a nice atmosphere.
