What time do you suggest arriving for good seating for the FreeShowFridays?

When I was in town visiting I went late after having dinner somewhere else due to lack of seating as they cleared some tables out for the bands so I cant comment on food or seating but the bands are worth seeing and plenty of room to mix and mingle

Depends on the Friday but usually around like 7 is safe if you want to eat dinner. Which The Boathouse has great food! If you arent eating it's kind of a mix and mingle atmosphere you dont necessarily have to have a table. There is ALWAYS parking.

I would suggest being there by 8 if you're just going for the show. But they do have goot food. If you want to grab a table or spot on the bar, be there by 7

Plenty of parking and space any time is good

Bands start at 6:00 , They have a good selection of beer.
