UNCORKED: Bluffton’s Unforgettable Music Venue

Owners Neil Ritter and his wife, Lorrie bought Corks in Moss Creek Village in 2018. For them, buying the old Corks was always about the music. They wanted to move on from their corporate careers and wanted to invest in the Bluffton community. When they first found Corks, Neil and Lorrie loved the vibe, the people, and the potential to grow the music following, and to make it a profitable business. They flipped the business concept. It changed from a wine bar with a little music to a music venue with wine, spirits, and good times.

Their website says the following:

“We want our patrons to come for the music and to support our music community. Many things were added to the previous venue including a bigger stage. We updated the sound system, the security, improved POS system for quicker checkout, and one, larger bar. All bartenders are updating their TIPS training for customer safety. We want each and every customer to enjoy their evening at UnCorked, and arrive back home safe and sound. We will not over-serve, and if needed, we will find you a ride home, even if that means driving you home ourselves.”
