Why 5 stars? Because this was the perfect venue for a festival. --- --- --- I attended the Charleston Beer Garden event in 2016, and really loved this spot. We have similar outdoor event spaces in Tampa, but I really loved the Grove. It didn't hurt that the weather was as nice as humanly possible. Parking was ample, though I will admit I arrived very early before the major rush. It can definitely be weird and confusing if you're coming here for the first time, so don't rely on Apple/Google maps as your sole informant. For the CBG event, restrooms and cold water were not hard to come by, though I know that's more of an event-specific thing. As for the park itself, the views were beautiful, and it was a nice mix of areas for sun, and shaded spots to hang in. It's tough to review a park in great detail, so I'm going to quit while I'm ahead. But I do know this: my experience was nothing short of 5-stars. read more

The Grove at Patriots Point is a great place to see a concert or attend some other event out of the many that are held here. I've been here for a couple of concerts, a Mac-Off, a couple of beer festivals, and a couple of other activities. It's a really nice place for events because it has plenty of green space and there are some great shade trees during the summer. read more

I love the Grove at Patriot's Point. It holds so many events that are popular amongst the locals. I especially love the outdoor concerts. Perfect views and great atmosphere for enjoying the beautiful weather and taking in a fun event. Some events are better than others but if you find the right one, it makes for a great day or night out. read more

This venue has become a popular spot for events over the years and it's always a treat when I see one posted with The Grove as the venue. It definitely helps that it's right down the street from me, but even if you're downtown it's barely over the bridge. I've been to concerts, beer festivals, and food festivals out there and have always had a great time. The parking can be a little weird, but you'll always find a spot and they tend not to mess with cars parked on the side of the road when an event is taking place. There's usually a lot with $5 parking too so it helps to have a little cash on you just in case. read more

I have been to multiple events at this venue and have grown to appreciate it for what it has to offer. Parking is always a nightmare, so plan on a walk both to and from the event. It's right behind Patriot's Pointe, so there is always someone guarding that lot so don't even try it! There is a lot a little ways down the road that is legit, or most of the time, you can park along the main road or one of the side roads. Once it gets full, people start parking in the median (trucks or 4 wheel drives). I've never seen anyone get towed or ticketed so I think as long as you are not blocking the road or damaging the grass, you should be alright. This location can be a little difficult to find the first time. It is right in the middle of where you probably would not expect it to be. Once you are inside, you don't know there is a world outside. It has large finger-like green spaces off the main drag. Usually one cul-de-sac is where all the food is housed, and the others usually have a mixture of vendors and bathrooms. Bring a lawn chair or blanket so that you don't end up standing all day. They have a perfect location for a band stage near the entrance. It allows for a dance area and for most of the people to be able to gather around and be in the middle of all the activities. Remember that if it has been rainy to wear appropriate footwear and don't plan to sit on a blanket. Well, unless you want to be wet all day. It is completely an outdoor venue, so don't forget to bring sunscreen, bug spray or whatever else you might need. read more

Stunning views and secluded cabanas make this a great upscale stay for honeymooners or just a weekend getaway. read more

While the location and the concert (Tracy Lawrence) was great the organization and availability of information was sorely lacking. To start this was our first time attending an event at the Grove, I saw in the concert announcement it said no coolers or pets but nothing about being able to bring chairs. I called Patriot's Point and they said they had no idea that they only lease the space and I would have to call the promoter. On the night of the concert there were no signs indicating where to go for the event or where to park and there was no one around to guide on this. Once we found it we went to the will call due to buying tickets on line and they had no idea what to do with the print out finally said ok go in. We went inside and saw that they were selling tickets for a $1 each and I asked what the average cost for the food and they said they didn't know. So I purchased $25 dollars worth of tickets, then proceeded to the food truck to get two meals and was told that they didn't think they took tickets it was cash only. Come to find out the tickets were for alcohol only. Did get the cash back for the tickets. Noticed there was a line of chairs starting a ways back from the stage and later was told the area between the seats was for people with blankets and the chair people had to stay behind the "chair line", No real biggie and it made sense in theory however once people began to stand along the fence in front of the stage people sitting on blankets really couldn't see the stage. I'm not sure if all events are this clunky or if it was just this show and promoter if they are I'll stick to the coliseum or Volvo car center. On the plus side traffic cleared out quickly. read more
