In less than a year and without much fanfare, The Bowery on Thirty-A has achieved great success in South Walton. Located in Redfish Village, it’s grown quickly to become a top-rated TripAdvisor restaurant and a favored spot for locals due to its decadent interior design, outstanding lunch and dinner menu, hand-selected variety of wine and spirits, and their unique offering of wine on tap.

Now, on the heels of the restaurant’s one-year anniversary, The Bowery has expanded their operations upstairs by opening an intimate concert venue and special event space to host both national and local talent.

The Great Indoors

Upstairs at the Bowery is a beautifully finished concert and special event space that holds up to 285 people and features a full-service bar and a decadent dessert menu. There’s even a green room where musical acts can relax between sets in this impressive 5,000-square-foot performance space with state-of-the-art lighting and audio.

“The vision for Upstairs at the Bowery was to create a beautiful, indoor music venue with a casual atmosphere that could host both national and local acts while also catering to special events,” said The Bowery’s Stephanie Groves.

Just across a breezeway from the concert hall is another event space, The Glass Room, which holds 120 people and is perfect for wedding parties or other private events.

“Upstairs at the Bowery will also be a great new venue for the 30A Songwriter’s Festival, so look for that to happen next year,” Groves added.

Not Just Your Imagination

The Temptations Revue featuring Nate Evans will perform Upstairs at The Bowery throughout the summer beginning Friday May 22, 2015. Nate Evans was chosen by original members of the Motown powerhouse to join the group and lead the Motown Magic Band through their string of hits.

Also upcoming is Nashville band, Farewell Angelina, on May 24, and other local acts.
