With room for roughly 192 and an All Ages policy, Real McCoy's is part of the live-music circuit in Wake Forest, North Carolina. Real McCoy's is Wake Forest's hometown place to hang out with friends, have a pint, watch the game, and enjoy some delicious fresh-made food. Live music is held on Friday and Saturday nights. The Real McCoy's calendar is open to Classic Rock, Country, Dance, Electronic, Pop, Rock, and Top 40. Real McCoy's does not have a confirmed public booking route, so artists should establish the correct submission method before pitching. Real McCoy's’s production package is not confirmed, so PA, monitoring, backline, and staffing need direct agreement. Final timing and event-specific arrangements with Real McCoy's need agreement before the show is announced.
