Moxy Charleston Downtown (Moxy) today introduced Trace Conway (pictured) as its new bar director of Bar Moxy, the hotel’s rooftop bar and lounge.
Conway is an industry veteran with more than 15 years of experience, most recently as the Director of Operations for Charleston’s Butcher & Bee, The Daily, and its sister restaurant, Redheaded Stranger in Nashville, Tenn. Before her nearly 8 years in the Holy City, Trace held the same title at Corkbuzz, a series of wine-centric restaurants in New York City, where she began her career in the industry.
“I couldn’t be more excited to join the team here at Bar Moxy. A great drink is more than just what’s in the glass - it’s about creating a special moment that lingers long after the glass is empty,” said Conway. “That’s why I’m so excited to create a specialty menu inspired by the lively energy of our favorite city here in Charleston, ensuring that each guest leaves with a memory as unique and vibrant as the cocktails we have prepared for them.”
Guests will have the chance to experience a variety of curated cocktail events spearheaded by Trace, including an upcoming Wine Rosé Garden event in partnership with Grassroots Wine. The event will take place from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 13, and includes a preview tasting of over a dozen summer wines from all over the world, paired with light bites to enjoy on the roof terrace while soaking up the spectacular views of the city.
The Moxy opened in April 2023 and has quickly solidified its spot as a top destination for visitors wanting the ultimate playcation in the Holy City.
“We are thrilled to have Trace infuse our bar offerings with her creative expertise and intention behind each cocktail,” said Moxy Director of Sales Sarah Parrish. “The Moxy values those who aren’t afraid to be bold, and Trace doesn’t hold back when it comes to creativity. Guests are really going to enjoy what ideas she’s serving up on tap.”
The Moxy subscribes to an “It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere” philosophy, and that mantra is on display from the moment guests check in at the Bar and are welcomed with a complimentary cocktail to begin their stay. The spacious rooftop lobby invites guests to connect and play on over a game of ping pong, or one of the weekly themed events.
Whether guests need a jump-start to their day or a pre-game session at night, Bar Moxy serves craft coffee, local brews, hand-crafted cocktails and artisan flatbreads seven days a week.
Featuring 131 guest rooms, a rooftop bar and terrace with a panoramic view of the iconic Ravenel Bridge, a first-floor Starbucks café, large meeting space, and lobby bar and lounge, the Moxy invites guests to put more play in their stay.
