Wondering where to find the best music venues near you?
Hoodline crunched the numbers to find the top music venues in Greenville, using both Yelp data and our own secret sauce to produce a ranked list of where to venture next time you're in the market for live music.
1. Centre Stage
Topping the list is Centre Stage. Located at 501 River St., the music venue and performing art spot is the highest rated music venue in Greenville, boasting 4.5 stars out of 30 reviews on Yelp.
Michelle P. said, "I love this venue! Every seat is a good seat. The place is small, but puts on a big great show each time. It can be a little hard to find on your first go since the entrance is in the back of the building."
2. Smiley's Acoustic Cafe
Next up is Smiley's Acoustic Cafe, situated at 111 Augusta St. With 4.5 stars out of 27 reviews on Yelp, the music venue and traditional American spot has proven to be a local favorite.
Yelper Grace W. wrote, "Smiley's is a really chill place to come eat and drink and hear some good live music. The food is awesome and the drinks are great."
3. Rainer's
Rainer's, located at 610 S. Main St., is another top choice, with Yelpers giving the bar, cafe and music venue four stars out of 59 reviews.
Kelly T. said, "We enjoyed an evening of jazz here by Sonny Disposition and were surprised that the crowd was light. After hearing the great music, my thought was that if this place was in NYC it would be standing room only. Rainer's is cool, dimly lit, with eclectic art lining the walls, serving mixed drinks, beer and wine, light bites and desserts."
