Amra’s
106 Glenwood Avenue

The 22-foot ceilings give the club an open feel that helps the jazz seem even smoother. Amra's has a reputation, and understandably so, for having the best bartenders in Raleigh. Don't hesitate to ask them about their selection of fine cigars, liquors or anything else that might come to mind. The owners, Brian and Alex Amra, created this classy jazz club to help bring the sophistication of 1930s nightlife back to Raleigh, and they've done it with an abundance of style.
