This weekend · November 6–8

Two reasons to go north.

Jazz on the Alley is done for the year, so the weekend shifts to the breweries and High Falls County Park's Día de los Muertos Festival Saturday — with live music at Keowee Brewing and Jocassee Valley Brewing all three nights.

Boat-up dinners, breakfast biscuits, and every tap worth pulling up a stool for.

SenecaWaterfront

The Cabana

Drive the boat right up to their dock, grab a drink at the bar, and let the afternoon do its thing. Lakeside casual, done right.

PendletonPizza

Brooklyn Style Pizza

Brooklyn-style pies worth leaving the lake for — some of the best pizza in the area, full stop.

SenecaBrewery

Keowee Brewing Co.

The de facto clubhouse. Dog-friendly patio, rotating taps, everyone you know is already there.

The breakfast gem of Salem. Great biscuits, great prices, zero pretense.
