From the reviews

Awesome music venue / bar / dance hall. They have line dancing on Thursdays, and it was a blast to learn some new dances. Everyone was welcoming. Full bar. There are two levels and the upper level opens up when there is a concert. Not sure if they have food during the events.

A walking town, of course, I walked and talked. We enjoyed ourselves. The Hive is a superb music venue. I can hardly wait to get back there to walk and talk, eat and play music at the Hive. I love the staff! They are approachable, knowledgeable, and personable with teaming up to aid in the band's successful event!

Had a great time. We're in town on a anniversary getaway and heard about a free concert by Buffalo Speedway. They did covers songs and some of their new music they were really good. We danced a lot ,the crowd was a good mix of people. We just had drinks they where good to. Overall we had great time.

Getting married at The Hive

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
