The Boardwalk - Orangevale, California

Brian C.

Been going to the Boarwalk for over 20 years and it's just a great place to see shows, new(ish) owners have done a great job preserving its Legacy while making it feel fresh. Sound was very good and having seen Pat Travers here at least a dozen times over the years can say from experience they did a great job with sound as alot of times it's been just too loud (it's not that im too old but when they blast it out sound usually get overly distorted) timing was great with 2 opening bands that were entertaining.. if you have never been to Boarwalk for a show it's a must as you sometimes catch a favorite band in a much more intimate setting ie; have seen here Robin Trower, Living Colour, Michael Schenker, Frank Hannon and the likes..

This place is iconic for the many great bands that have performed here like Metallica, Fall Out Boy, Portugal, and more...

The new owners have cleaned and updated the entire place. Love the island themed decorations. Two bars and a separate area to order food. Clean restrooms as well as inside and outside of the restaurant.

🚙 free parking and you can also park across the street in the gravel area if busy.

🍺 🍹 🥤 Bartenders served the best drinks. The food was pretty good too!! Plenty of TVs so you can see the performers up close so you won’t miss a beat.

Overall great venue & fun times!! Will definitely return many many more times!! ❤️

Great live music venue. Great selection of beers, staff was nice and place has a great light show for a small venue for live music

I went to watch an absolutely 5 star band, the Fryed Brothers play for Harry Fryed’ birthday which i go to always if im in town…. They are positively the BEST. Unique, original, you cannot stand still when Harry plays his fiddle and sings. I was so disappointed with the venue sound quality. The band kept complaining that they couldn’t hear themselves sing, noone else could either. It was muddy and blurry and basically sounded terrible and i know it wasn’t the band because the band is gold. Shame on you Boardwalk for having shitty sound and electronic. I paid alot of money for my seats but I’ll tell you for half the money Louie’s was better by far. I’ve seen them play outside with better results. No disrespect to the band, I’ll never go to the boardwalk again.

The remodel is beautiful and the sound was way better than before. I've seen at least 50 shows here over the years, and really think the new owners have finally done justice to the venue

The new owners of The Boardwalk have done an outstanding job of revamping this venue. Really like the Hawaiian vibe. The food is amazing. Had the pork sliders and they were so juicy. We got a chance to speak with the owners, super friendly. If you get a chance check them out. They do Sunday brunch and Thursday karaoke.

Super fun atmosphere!! Staff was really friendly and helpful. Was there for my kids School of Rock show and it was a really good time. Food was yummy, ample space to dance and hang out. I will be coming back kid free to check it out.

Very hot inside. This was their grand reopening. It also lacks seating for a overly large dance floor. Plastic tarp on the roof indicates not quite ready for grand reopening. The waitresses were prompt and respectful given the size of the crowd. Band was good. Just way too hot with no ventilation.
