The Music Yard

It was the last day of a 4 day conference and the company known to host the best party had a battle of band event at the Music Yard. Great vibe. Service was excellent. You knew everyone was invited. A perfect closing party.

I LOVE IT HERE!!!!!! This place is a plant paradise! Fully outdoors, but shaded and cool. Supremely decorated and they make it so easy to purchase drinks and enjoy the game on Sunday! I can't believe I've never been here before.Gotta come back for one of their concerts or movie nights. This is a dope dope spot and I highly recommend it for a fun time!

The Music Yard (TMY) at SouthBound is auspiciously and fitly located on South Boulevard right between SouthBound, a taqueria, and Mac's Speed Shop (South End). The Music Yard defines their identity as "Charlotte's newest boutique for outdoor live music venue". I went to TMY last Sunday, 10/24/2021, to hang with some friends for "Sunday Funday" and of course, to view some quality NFL football. GO PANTHERS! The outside area has plenty of seating filled with high-top tables, benches, and individual seats for your contentment. The initial landing on the grounds of TMY is introduced by layers of small rocks, kind of gravel-ish, followed by green turf (fake grass). The DJ is positioned immediately to the left (if you're walking in from the main entrance) and he was jamming. So, if he's the "resident" DJ, then the music will be a hit every time. The Music Yard has a full bar inside which is eminently commodious and beneficial for groups and individuals with different tastes in spirits and beers. I am not sure if they have wine, so I take back my statement of a full bar, but they do have liquor and beer; don't be picky. ;-) The bartender that day (see photos) WAS AWESOME, ATTENTIVE, and UNDERSTANDING. When someone took my drink, he just gave me another one and said "don't worry about it". If you see him, tip him well because he deserves it and will take care of you. He has braces if that helps. :-) All in all, it's an excellent establishment with good vibes, 'vibin' music, and great drinks, company, and substantially awesome service. --------------------------------------------- Visit here for more information: https://eatsouthbound.com/the-music-yard/ ---------------------------------------------

I had my first night out at The Music Yard with some friends for the Drake vs The Weekend event on last Saturday and really enjoyed it. The night began with one DJ who played a good mix of hip hop that set the scene for people to talk and mix. The second DJ came in around 9:30 and started the music battle which got pretty much everyone on the dance floor. The Music Yard also hired a hookah company called the Shangrila Smoke Society that I really enjoyed. Our hookah was strong and flavorful and they replaced the coals without any hassle. We also grabbed some tacos and drinks from the restaurant for the evening; the brisket tacos were super tasty and we got 6 shots plus a drink for ~$80. Definitely recommend a night out at the music yard when the weather is nice!

I really enjoyed this venue. I felt that the sound was not as nice as I would prefer, but the drinks were averagely priced and tasted very good. The ambiance is adorable.

Social distancing review: located between Southbound and Mac, I came here with a friend for the summer series. One night they offered a drive in movie for Pineapple Express. Everyone was required to wear masks except when in their designated spots. Servers assisted turff spots. Cars were all able to drive up and walk up to bar to grab food and drinks & They served food from southbound. Murals on the walls, lights and tropical folliage really added to the esthetic. I got a margarita pitcher with split it a friend and they were refreshing and juicy. I've seen on the summer series that this location is offering yoga, summer dance parties and other movie events. Pre-Covid they have live bands and an open area for people to sit when enjoying food/drinks from Southbound.

SOCIAL DISTANCING EDITION: I haven't been to this place in the past but I've always heard of it being a hot spot for live bands. Nestled between southbound and Macs speed shop, it's the perfect location for some tunes and a few drinks! Since COVID the venue has had to get creative with their events. They offer events such as yoga, live band performances, and movie nights. They're very strict on the social distance rules but I really appreciate that. For my visit I attended their movie night for a showing of Pineapple Express. I reserved two spots on the turf for blankets. They have several options to view the movie such as drive in for your car, turf spots, or picnic tables. Tickets have to be purchased in advance and they sell quickly so be sure to plan ahead! You cannot bring food or drinks to the venue but you are assigned a waitress and they offer seat side food and drinks. Their menu is from Southbound next door. This has been one of my favorite social distancing activities and I certainly would recommend it to anyone looking to get out the house for a few hours!

Great venue with open space perfect if you love live music and bands along with showing the local Carolina panthers games on a giant screen and a nice bar called the studio in the back, come here on the nice fall nights
