Riverboat Bar
From bustling metropolitan hot spots to towering mountains, New York boasts a vast and diverse array of sights and scenery. Chief amongst the beauty of the Empire State are the communities and nature near the Thousand Islands region. Ripe with dense foliage, flowing water, historic structures, and picturesque views, the area attracts visitors from all over the world. Although the area is known for its environment, it is also home to one of the most unique and prominent music venues in the state. Located in Alexandria Bay, the Riverboat Bar delivers live music just about every weekend.
The Riverboat Bar mostly features local New York acts, touring groups from the Northeast, and upcoming artists. Whether traditional American rock or funky soul, the Riverboat Bar aims to showcase a wide variety of music. The venue’s intimate setting and continued commitment to quality shows, provides an outstanding live-music experience
In addition to music, the venue has an almost endless selection of craft beer from all over the region. There’s also a full service restaurant that serves classic bar food, seafood, and Italian classics.
Positioned just down the block from the St. Lawrence River, the Riverboat Bar is at the heart of Alexandria Bay. Renowned for its fishing and natural resources, Alex Bay was originally a summer gathering place for Iroquois and Algonquin Indians. As European settlers began to populate the area, the community became a key trading and shipping location during the Revolutionary War. Alexandria Bay and the surrounding islands eventually transformed into a vacation destination, with wealthy businessmen like Nathan Straus (the former head of Macy’s) buying land nearby.
The energy and atmosphere of the Riverboat Bar perfectly meshes with the unadulterated spirit of the Thousand Islands. The venue’s authenticity has brought acts like Aqueous, Hilltop, Annie in the Water, and The Heavy Pets through the door. Whether you’re visiting the Thousand Islands or just live nearby, the Riverboat Bar is a must-stop live music destination.
