If you're in the mood to jazz it up tonight, then head to one of Charleston's best jazz bars, the Charleston Grill. Technically, the venue is a restaurant, but the elegance and nightlife appeal of the place makes sense when you add the highly appealing live jazz, which is presented every night of the week. Most evenings, enjoy the live sounds of acclaimed local jazz maestros, the Quentin Baxter Ensemble, but on Sundays, the Bob Williams Duo, a local favorite, takes stage. You can enjoy the music while you relax in the lavish dining room or enjoy a cocktail in the classy bar area.

If you're shooting for a great time with friends, then why not get the gang together and head to Gene's Hofbrau for a friendly game of darts? Gene's has one of the most extensive sets of dartboards in town, and it's no wonder that many dart leagues both practice and compete here. So if you're aiming for a great time, great food and drinks and good friends as you play darts, Gene's Hofbrau is the perfect destination to hit!
