What’s a cocktail without a little rhythm? At The Charleston, our live music nights and events bring extra sparkle. From smooth jazz and soulful grooves to toe-tapping swing, our line-up is always tuned to set the perfect vibe – elegant, effortless, and a touch of extraordinary.
Join us as the lights dim, the glasses clink, and the stage comes to life. Whether you’re here for a date night, a girls’ night, or simply to soak up the atmosphere, our blend of stylish dining and live jazz music makes every evening feel like an occasion.

The Charleston is open Sunday to Thursday from 9am until 11pm and Friday and Saturday until midnight.
Cocktails and conversations
Housed in the beautifully restored former Royal Bank of Scotland building in the heart of Bakewell, we bring a dash of 1920s glamour to the Peak District food and drink scene. We’re an ode to Art Deco, with a modern twist, think plush interiors, Roaring Twenties details, and a party spirit.
We’re proudly part of the award-winning Longbow Venues family, known for progressive hospitality operations in Derbyshire and locally sourced food and drink. But here, we have a personality all of our own. We’re a little mysterious, always fabulous, and open to all. Come see why we’re quickly becoming the most talked-about restaurant and bar with live music in Bakewell.

From day to night
Sip your way from brunch to bubbly, graze your way through the golden hour, and stay out long after the sun sets. You’ll find us right in the centre of Bakewell on Rutland Square, within easy reach of Chatsworth House and the surrounding Derbyshire countryside.
Bring your dolls and dappers, don your finest attire and step into our chic abode. Every night is a glamorous celebration of the past brought back to life. There’s always a reason to drop by, and always another cocktail to try.
