Addy’s Dutch Café
If you’re after a quiet spot to enjoy drinks with friends, you can’t do better than Addy’s. Amsterdam native Addy Sulley serves stout foreign brews and flavorful Dutch fare at his laid-back bar and restaurant off Main. House specials include Wed-nesday-night schnitzel and way-better-than-it-sounds mustard soup. 17 E. Coffee St; 864-232-2339

Smiley’s Acoustic Café
At this West End watering hole, you can find everyone from college students to the doctor-lawyer set enjoying nightly live shows, which offer plenty of good bluegrass, jazz, and blues. Stop in on a Thursday night for one of Smiley’s parking-lot pig pickin’s. 111 Augusta St.; smileysacousticcafe.com

Trappe Door
Australian snowboarder turned Greenville restaurateur Josh Beeby opened this Belgian-inspired pub in the basement under his first venture, Barley’s Taproom & Pizzeria. Exposed-wood ceilings, warm red walls, and comfortable booths invite patrons to linger over classic moules frites and a pint (or two) of roughly 160 different Belgian brews. If you’re feeling adventurous, try a sour lambic from the Brussels-based brewery Cantillon. 23 W. Washington St.; trappedoor.com
