Hilton Head Island Welcomes The Bank: New Entertainment Venue with Charitable Contributions Opens Its Doors

Hilton Head Island has officially welcomed a new entertainment venue named The Bank, which opened its doors on Tuesday. This vibrant complex is located at 59 Pope Avenue, where the former Bank of America branch once stood.

The Bank spans 72,000 square feet and features a brewery, beer garden, and restaurant options. Its grand opening was marked by the announcement of the Island Legacy Fund, which aims to support local nonprofits focusing on affordable housing, childcare, and the preservation of native land and homes on Hilton Head Island. A portion of each transaction at The Bank will be directed towards this fund, which is administered by the Community Foundation of the Lowcountry. The fund also invites contributions from individuals and other businesses.

In addition to the contributions made through the Island Legacy Fund, the owners of The Bank have committed to donating $1 million over the next five years to the Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park.
