Live Music Saturdays at Prospect Drafthouse & Coyote Hole
Program Details & Spotlights
Enjoy outdoor live acoustic and southern rock performances every Saturday afternoon on the spacious covered pavilion stage at Coyote Hole 37-acre estate. The venue pours a wide array of craft hard ciders pressed from 100% Virginia apples, alongside in-house small batch craft beers and local wines. The drafthouse kitchen serves warm Bavarian pretzels, gourmet smash burgers, fresh hot cider doughnuts, and loaded nachos.
When the late afternoon sun begins casting long golden rays across Lake Anna, the routine for seasoned lake-goers is practically second nature: pull the pontoon into the slip, rinse off the lake water, and head over to Mineral for Live Music Saturdays at Prospect Drafthouse at Coyote Hole Craft Beverages. Tucked just minutes away from the water, this energetic hub transforms into Lake Anna’s premier open-air living room every weekend. As boats dock for the evening, locals and vacationers alike flock here to trade lake stories, kick back with a crisp beverage, and let the sounds of live regional talent set the soundtrack for the night.
The music kicks off under the massive covered pavilion, where you will find an engaging rotation of talented regional musicians performing everything from soulful country and foot-stomping bluegrass to easygoing acoustic rock and blues. Because the pavilion offers full weather protection while staying completely open to the evening breeze, the show goes on rain or shine. Whether you are leaning back in an Adirondack chair or toe-tapping along from a picnic table, the intimate, authentic atmosphere makes you feel like you are at a private backyard concert with a couple hundred of your favorite lake neighbors.
Of course, what pairs best with live tunes is a cold drink in hand. Coyote Hole is renowned across Central Virginia for its signature hard ciders pressed from fresh Blue Ridge Mountain apples, running the gamut from crisp traditional dry pours to inventive blackberry and peach fusions. If cider is not your thing, the draft lines pour ice-cold craft beers, accompanied by a curated selection of Virginia wines and house-made non-alcoholic drinks. Add in a hearty taproom menu loaded with shareable bites, artisan flatbreads, and casual comfort food, and dinner is effortlessly solved while the music plays.
Beyond the stage, the property offers a vibrant community playground that keeps everyone entertained. While parents relax with a pint, kids and competitive friends can challenge each other to rounds of cornhole on the lawn, giant yard games, or head inside to check out the arcade. It is an effortlessly relaxed, multi-generational gathering spot where muddy flip-flops and lake hair are worn like badges of honor.
