There is no shortage of great things to do in Greenville. There are sights, parks, and pieces of rich history all over this town.

If you’re not familiar with the concept of a dueling piano bar, it’s when two pianos duke it out in a grand stage in a battle of ivories. Hence why Jack n’ Diane’s is a surefire stop for entertainment and fun. They’ve also got the menu to match — great cocktails like their signature Fiona’s Apple and John Cougar Melon. Jack n’ Diane’s also offers great fishbowls, martinis and craft, draft, local and imported beers to boot.
