Live Music

Dinner and a show? How about dinner and LIVE music? Blackbeard's features the best in local talent, performing from a vast repertoire including country, classics, blues, '60s oldies and even occasional kids' tunes when prompted. Most of our musicians also share some of their original compositions. Don't be shy about challenging our musicians and asking them to play your favorite tunes. Sometimes, they may be challenging YOU, our customer, to name a songwriter or composition, usually offering a free dessert to the winner.

Both Blackbeard's locations feature live music nightly (except Sundays at Blackbeard's Too). Follow us on our Blackbeard's on the Beach and Blackbeard's Too Facebook pages for artists' schedules.

For more information, call Blackbeard's on the Beach: 361-884-1030; Blackbeard's Too: 361-776-0393.
