They have sandwiches and charcuterie, and both are excellent. The ambiance is amazing! I love this place because they beautifully restored an 1840 home. It's classy but you can go casual. They have a gas fire pit to enjoy cool evenings. They also have a pavilion where you can watch your favorite college team.

Just WOW! Some friends invited us to Boland House on a Monday afternoon, and I'm more than glad we…read morewent. Great wine selection and some bottled and canned craft beers. And probably the absolute best charcuterie board ever. With some homemade salads and pickled onions. We devoured two! Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Owners are super friendly and love to talk about the history of the house. It's a beautiful property for weddings, showers, luncheons, whatever you need. I definitely look forward to another visit!

For what we were charged, they could have done way better. The band appeared to have came from a Nursing Home. ​I was charged $15.00 for a Expresso Martini with cheap Vodka and Carolans Irish Cream? It was so nasty. Use BAILEYS ONLY. I can get a top shelf at Travinias for $12.00. Not to mention the alcohol was cut with water. I know this because I make Expresso Martini's. We also had a full blown fight almost break out twice with the same people right beside me and the staff walked by worrying about making bar money versus passenger safety. I will not do this for New Years again. The Spirit has a really good thing, but cutting corners will run good customers away guys.

Lots of parking and handicapped parking available, no stairs to climb. The building looked new and nicely decorated inside, greeting area/ check in, the hall was a pretty large event area, it also had a concession area with a stage. I attended the Carolina Hair Expo, the event was small but enough for about approx 20 vendors maybe. The event was really nice for this area, it still kinda new, Im sure yrs to come it will be more vendors. I did purchase a few items for my hair and some jewelry. I would recommend using this venue if I needed a one in the future.

The venue itself is clean, beautiful and very spacious. It has that rustic/chic vibe, you can incorporate any decoration or design in this space. I would be remised if I didn't mentioned the owner, April and the manager, Teresa. They were very instrumental in making my day a very successful, and memorable one! Both Teresa, and April were always accessible and very personable. I will upload pictures very soon. I highly recommend this venue for any event that you are planning in the near future.
