Upscale nightlife has come to Charleston, S.C., with the opening of Lamar’s Sporting Club, a reservations-only nightlife experience.
It is open to members and limited reservations on Friday and Saturday nights starting at 8 p.m. Other people are welcome to attempt a walk-in reservation but admission is based on space with priority being given to members. The exceeption is Saturdays and Sundays for daytime college football and NFL regular season games for brunch starting at 11 a.m.
Lamar’s Sporting Club offers an intimate 2,000-square-foot lounge with an upscale ambiance. The space features opulent elements like dark wood paneling, chandeliers from Prague dating back to the 1800s, subdued lighting, and plush leather banquettes, sofas, and cocktail tables. The decor is a reflection of the sporting club lifestyle, incorporating elements such as modern-vintage artwork, wildlife on display and eclectic bookshelves, one of which provides a hidden entrance to neighboring Bourbon N’ Bubbles, which is owned by the same hospitality group.
Cocktails include Lamar’s Old Fashioned with Woodford Reserve Bourbon, brown sugar simple and bitters; Espresso Martini with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, espresso, and house-made vanilla whipped cream; Boulevardier with Elijah Craig small batch bourbon sweet vermouth and Campari; and Vesper with Bombay Sapphire gin, Grey Goose vodka, and Lillet Blanc, to name a few. Additionally, a wide array of premium spirits, beer, and wine, as well as exclusive brunch-inspired fare from starters to small and large plates, are available.
There is also live entertainment.
The concept is from Republic Development & Management Group, a prominent South Carolina-based hospitality group owned by Leva and Lamar Bonaparte renowned for its portfolio of luxury restaurants, lounges, and nightlife venues (Bourbon N’ Bubbles, MESU and Republic Garden and Lounge.)
“We’re very excited to announce the opening of Lamar’s Sporting Club. The team has worked diligently to create a luxurious destination that elevates and compliments the vibrant nightlife of Charleston’s King Street,” said Lamar Bonaparte, owner of Republic DMG. “We are extremely proud to show Charleston the venue’s exquisite design and cutting-edge fusion of exclusivity, sports, and nightlife.”
