Experience Chayz Lounge
Curated Evenings. Refined Atmosphere. Inspired Cuisine.
​​
​​
​At Chayz Lounge, evenings are designed to be felt as much as they are heard.
An intimate boutique listening room nestled in West Columbia's River District, Chayz Lounge is where live jazz, dining, and curated experiences unfold in an elevated, unhurried setting.
From sound to atmosphere, every detail is thoughtfully considered, creating a warm, welcoming environment felt the moment you arrive. Wine-centered experiences, intimate jazz ensembles, and salon-style gatherings come together in ways that linger long after the evening ends.

​
Inspired by the elegance once embodied by B. Smith, Chayz Lounge stands as a modern salon where culture and refinement meet with intention.
Curated by Chaye Alexander, each evening unfolds with thoughtful detail, soulful ambiance, and a spirit of connection. It's a place for those who value the quiet luxury of time well spent. Each reservation is an invitation to settle in and savor the moment.

A Note from Chaye
Chayz Lounge was born from a desire to give people a place to slow down, exhale, and simply enjoy. Good music. Thoughtfully prepared dishes. An atmosphere that settles around you the moment you walk in.
​
My vision was always to create more than a venue. I wanted to craft a feeling: an intimate, elevated space where every detail matters, from the lighting and sound to the hospitality and energy in the room.
​
I believe people can feel when something has been thoughtfully curated, and that care is at the heart of everything we do here. My commitment has always been to excellence in how we serve, how we curate, and most importantly, how we make you feel.
​
I'm glad you found us. Thank you for being part of the experience.

Chayz Lounge Radio
The Heartbeat of the Chayz Lounge Brand
​
Before there was Chayz Lounge the listening room, there was Chayz Lounge, the radio station.
Born from a deep passion for music, the concept first sparked in 2004, when internet radio was still finding its voice. Chaye envisioned a virtual space where legendary grooves and fresh discoveries could coexist in harmony.
In 2009 that vision came to life with the launch of Chayz Lounge Radio, a 24/7 global streaming station blending smooth jazz with soulful sophistication.
In 2017 that vision extended beyond the digital world with the opening of Chayz Lounge, the listening room. Today both the space and the station serve the musical landscape, each in its own way, together as one.
More than a station, Chayz Lounge Radio is an extension of the Sophisti-Soul lifestyle, where music, mood, and intention shape how you experience the everyday. Whether easing through the workday, unwinding in the evening, or cruising on a Sunday afternoon, it delivers a soundtrack that meets you where you are.

Some of Our Past Performers

​Over the years, Chayz Lounge has welcomed some of the finest artists in contemporary jazz, soul, and poetry. Each has brought their own rhythm to our stage and left behind moments our audiences still talk about. Here’s what an artist had to say:
​
"I had so much enjoyed performing at Chayz Lounge in West Columbia, SC. Chaye is just wonderful. Her staff and the venue give a warm family vibe, the audience was very engaged and the house band was totally on point. Looking forward to coming back and play there again." — Nils, Renowned Jazz Guitarist​​
