ocktailing at the Club showcases some special mixology, especially when it comes to serving up our signature “Lord Berkeley” cocktail. The inspiration of talented BHC bartender Clint Moore and Elijah Paulsen, F&B Manager, like all good cocktails, it has a good story. Of course, there are many more served up at the Verandah bar, but this one says it all!

The Story

Lord Berkeley, having spent time as a young man in Barbados, was fond of its classic English-style of rum, the specific choice of the British Navy best distinguished by its navy strength proof. With the distinct notes of bananas and caramel, well-paired with passionfruit and lime as natural, native flavors. The anise flavorforward Peychaud’s Bitters from New Orleans offers a layered lightness as the passionfruit bears the burgundy warmth of the Berkeley Hall logo crest. Served up by bartender Clint Moore on the Club’s Verandah, this fruit-forward cocktail is the ultimate “Berkeley Experience!” Come try one. Berkeley Hall is named after Lord Berkeley, one of five British generals awarded land holdings in America by the King of England.

BERKELEY HALL CLUB CocktailMenu

BHC’s Cocktail Menu is as enticing and adventurous as the places it takes us to. “Our Carolina 76 is a twist on the French 76,” shares Elijah Paulsen, cocktail menu co-curator with bartender Clint Moore. It’s also the same year that SC declared its independence, and one of our top bar requests! Then there’s the Buffalo Carré. This twist on the New Orleans Vieux Carré uses pecan-infused Buffalo Trace bourbon in place of rye, for a well-balanced classic that members appreciate to the fullest! Stop by and take some time to peruse our well-crafted Cocktails Menu.
