Grand

South Carolina


Inspired by the variety of entertainment provided in a 1900s vaudeville house that once stood in its place, this venue triples as a gastropub, game center and boutique bowling alley (bowling lane $25 to $40; shoe rental $4). The upstairs bartender is a hoot, and downstairs guests serve themselves craft beer and wine from the tap and get charged by the ounce.

Other games include giant Jenga, Battleship and table shuffleboard.
