Whether you are sitting right by the stage or chatting at a high-top table, the acoustic sets provide the perfect backdrop for reliving the day's best catches and biggest wakeboard wipes.
Of course, the music is only half of the draw. The Taphouse boasts an impressive, ever-changing lineup of 34 rotating taps dedicated to showcasing the very best of Virginia's booming craft beverage scene.
