Boatyard Eats - Cornelius

Great location for live music, good food drinks and has a nice playground for children to turn off some energy. I would stay with a friend Sunday just to pick up a bit and end for 5 hours. The staff was super friendly personable: excellent customer service!! The band they played outside (at 7 a.m.) was exceptional and brought us some old school rhythm blues with horns, saxophone, flute, drums, keyboard and more. It was such an unexpected treat and had many of us on the dance floor that made memories. Can't wait to come back!

The staff were friendly and attentive. However, since the event was held on the outdoor stage, we spent two hours under the sun without much shade, which made it quite uncomfortable on a hot day. It might be better for the bands to perform on the indoor stage. We ended up leaving early due to the heat, but I can imagine that events in the evening would be fantastic.

This is a fantastic spot! They offered live music, a spacious bar, and plenty of areas to relax, socialize, or dance. There was even a section where kids could run around freely like wild buffaloes. The atmosphere was vibrant, and the crowd was fun. I will definitely be back!

What a fantastic music hall in Cornelius! They offer an extensive selection of craft beers on tap, along with a full bar featuring some unique liqueurs that you don't often find in most bars. As a gin enthusiast, I was pleasantly surprised to discover they had Roku Gin from Japan, which is excellent. They also stock Tanqueray and Bombay Sapphire—very impressive! I've visited frequently, but my last trip was on New Year's 2021. They were understandably busy, yet I never had to wait long to get a drink. The cocktails are beautifully crafted and strong, with prices that are quite reasonable, so you definitely get your money's worth! The bartenders and staff are exceptional! The venue feels safe, thanks to adequate security for its size. They host some of the best bands from the Charlotte area and beyond, and the sound system is fantastic! If you're in search of a great place to enjoy live music, this is the spot!

Excellent venue. Great bands. Only suggestion I will make, allow your patrons to bring chairs in for concerts. There was not enough seating for 1200 people. Would have made it more enjoyable.
