If you’re looking for a laid-back spot to catch some really good live music, Island Green is the place. It’s not a giant concert venue with crowds packed shoulder to shoulder—but that’s part of the appeal. It’s the kind of place where the music feels close, not just loud. There’s an indoor pub, cozy and familiar, and during the warmer months, outdoor dining and a tiki bar, where the real magic happens.

The outdoor setup is perfect for live music. Open air, soft string lights, cold drinks in hand. You’ll hear everything from classic rock cover bands (think Tom Petty or Fleetwood Mac) to smaller acoustic acts playing original songs or stripped-down sets. Some nights, the vibe is lively, with folks dancing in the grass or around the tables. Other nights feel more mellow, more intimate. It depends who’s playing, and maybe what kind of day you’ve had.

Inside, the pub holds its own charm. On cooler evenings or rainy days, the music moves indoors. It’s a little more low-key, sometimes just one or two musicians and a smaller crowd—but somehow those quieter shows stick with you. Maybe it’s the way the sound bounces gently off the walls, or just the way everyone leans in a bit more to listen.

Island Green isn’t trying too hard to be a “scene,” and that’s a good thing. It’s not flashy, and it doesn’t need to be. The people who come here usually care more about enjoying a few hours of live music and fun with their friends and family. There’s something refreshing about that. Some folks show up just for the band. Others stumble across it—maybe they came for dinner and ended up staying because the band was better than expected. Either way, it works.

The venue leans heavily into supporting local and regional acts. You’ll see familiar names pop up again on the schedule, especially the ones that draw a crowd or bring a certain energy. But there’s also room for discovery. It’s the kind of place where you might hear someone you’ve never heard of before and wonder why they aren’t playing bigger stages.

It’s also a solid choice for a night out and a killer date night. You’ve got award-winning food, drinks, and live music all in one spot. And during the spring and summer, that outdoor tiki bar really does steal the show. It’s hard to beat a warm night, live music in the air, and a cold drink in your hand.

Honestly, if you’re just trying to find live music without the fuss, Island Green has it figured out. Music starts Saturday and Sundays at 1:00 pm.
