Nice atmosphere and great bands

Went for a girls' night with friends. The music and ambiance were fantastic! The drinks were overpriced, but they were also perfectly made. So take from that what you will.

One of the best experiences we had in all of Charleston. Very very talented group and the set list was so much fun. Great Jazz lounge for a date night or night out with friends. Very welcoming and great talent. Highly recommend.

A very nice evening of jazz.

Playing tourist, I randomly stopped in on a Thursday night. It was midway through the owner's performance, so thankfully the gal gave me half price on the cover charge which ended up being $13. From the outside it looks small, but inside it's deceptively large! Dark, chic, and romantic, with good acoustics. The owner and his trio were playing jazz standards and taking requests...good stuff! Beers start at $7, and cocktails are in the teens. If you're looking for a more upscale, quiet, and elegant place to enjoy music and drinks, this is it.

Great environment and music. The food on the menu is very overpriced. I didn't pay much attention to the drinks while I was there.

Our favorite part of our Charleston trip! Incredible musicians in an intimate venue with a variety of styles—we came two nights out of three, and would have made it three if they were open on Sundays. Cannot recommend this place enough!!!

Ralf Müller

Nice and relaxed location to listen to music. The Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin show with big band is a highlight. Great big band sound and two artists with authentic voices sweetened our evening.

Kelli Brown

Amazing! Get vibe, good set up. Grown and sexy. Parking is real close. Drinks are worth the price, not watered down. Definitely going again

Dan Smitley

Such a great date night experience. We went on an all girl big band night and they were fantastic. Cost of the drinks and tickets is to be expected in downtown Charleston and honestly worth it. We'll definitely be back!

Absolute star find, really had an amazing time. The music was excellent, the staff were great. Would highly recommend if you're visiting. The only thing I would say is to have more premium spirits and maybe 2 people behind the bar. It took quite a while to get drinks. The music was superb so you didn't mind so much but would be better.

I recently photographed a gala at Jazz Forte Lounge in downtown Charleston, and it was an unforgettable experience. The lounge boasts a stunning interior with warm lighting and stylish décor, creating a cozy yet vibrant atmosphere. The live music was exceptional, with talented musicians delivering soulful jazz tunes that filled the room. The staff was welcoming and attentive, making everyone feel at home. For a night of great music and ambiance in Charleston, Jazz Forte Lounge is the place to be!
