The Commodore is a vintage jazz club, started in the early 80's as a “Touch of Class.” A staple in the jazz circuit as indicated by the classic photos on the wall, the club still hosts jazz and funk acts from across the country. Today, The Commodore has reincarnated the space to be one of Charleston’s true gems with an unparalleled live music and bar scene.
Locals and visitors alike enjoy an equally throwback and modern atmosphere with patrons from every walk of life. We welcome you to drop in, and continue the tradition enjoying live music, the fantastic dance floor, and delicious craft cocktails.
The Commodore offers LIVE MUSIC up to 5 nights a week featuring house bands such as Lady & The Brass, The Majestics, The Funktastics and Future Funk. Excellent local and regional acts are continually scheduled. Check our calendar for dates and times.
Mickey's contagious demeanor and unique writing style has made him a hot commodity in the music industry as hip-hop artist Young Jeezy and Producer Jermaine Dupri jumped at the chance to collaborate with him for a Boost Mobile commercial. Avalon then joined forces with rock acts the Happy Mondays, and Unwritten Law, with whom he co-wrote the radio hit "Shoulda Known Better". His music has been featured in countless movies and television series including the HOB's series Hung, the animated series American Dad, the Duke Nukem Forever video game, Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay and most recently in the trailers for the Cameron Diaz film "Bad Teacher."
