    This place will teleport you to the 1800s. What decor! I highly recommend visiting just for the sake of experiencing the ambience. The live Jazz band that played on my day of visit, added more life to the vibe. The cocktails were amazing. Note that they serve drinks only (no food).

    Like stepping off Glenwood and being transported to another location (Italy? France? New Orleans? Early 20th Century New York? Who knows. You just know you're no longer in Raleigh) this classic Jazz Bar is an absolute treat. Gone is the old.cumbersome 8 page menu in favor of a more streamlined set of classics, alongside rotating house specialties, a selection of non-alcoholic cocktails, great local beers, and the longest true Champagne list in town, all at good prices. Bartenders and servers dedicated to their craft with a passion for their job can help you have a wonderful evening regardless of your fancy. Modest cover charge on weekend nights but it's always worth it!

    This is a jazz lover's heaven. Step back into the 20's as you descend into a dark and sultry speakeasy. The staff is dressed to impress and serve you delicious cocktails as you are serenaded by some of the most talented artists of today. We went and saw Dupresha who covered lots of Ella, my favorite. We ended up staying for the whole show instead of just popping in. I will go here every time I visit Raleigh. I

    Amazing experience. Went on a Tuesday night and enjoyed the most fun (and talented!) band. Sat at the bar. Knowledgeable, professional, and very engaging bartenders. Doesn’t look like much from the outside, but a gem on the inside! Loved this place!

    Cover charges to enter the place. Amazing live jazz music with great cocktails. The place is cozy and I suggest to dress up as it is sets the mood right for this place. Drinks are not very costly and staff is friendly.

    I'm absolutely in love with this place. The performances are always amazing and the vibes are nothing short of immaculate. The wait staff and bartenders are some of the coolest ones around and the drinks are always delicious. My go to is their house special velvet rose πŸ’š

    A refreshing break from all the clubs and bars of Raleigh. Live jazz with really amazing drinks. The staff are always so kind. This is a great place to relax and just soak in the atmosphere. Highly recommended. Sometimes there is a cover charge, so bring some cash.

    Great cocktails. Incredibly knowledgeable bartenders! If you want to listen to live jazz go to C. Grace! Must be 21 to be in there. Try the Odd Perfection, it is simply amazing.

    My husband and I had a spectacular time! The live music and the speakeasy atmosphere. The cocktails were perfectly made.

  • 5/5 Jo G. 2 years ago on Google
    C. Grace is a wonderful place to enjoy live jazz in a classy but unpretentious setting. The musicians are always great and so are the classic cocktails. Even people who think they don't like jazz love it. If you're showing any friends around Raleigh go here.

    I’m not normally one to seek out a jazz club but this place had me swaying and tapping my feet. It was Jazz Jam so it was fun to see all the various musicians come up and just play like they’d been playing together for years. Cool spot with a great vibe and decor, and the drinks were pretty good too!

    Pretty rare music and cocktail experience conveniently located downtown, with knowledgeable and professional staff. They like to be a little upscale, but they'll let you in with your t-shirt if you didn't get the memo. If you arrive late on the weekend and there is a line that's not on them!
