About

BOUK Management is a Hospitality company that owns: The Galway Hooker Irish Pub, the Lake Norman Comedy Zone, Waterford Hall, and BOUK Catering.  

The Galway Hooker Pub believes that nothing inspires a great story like a delicious meal and a refreshing pint. That’s because the Galway Hooker is a story in and of itself. Originally built in Ireland, the pub was deconstructed and moved piece-by-piece to its current location off the shores of Lake Norman, just a stones throw from Charlotte, North Carolina. The pub is named for Galway Bay, which lies on the west coast of Ireland. Nearly all of the artifacts and décor inside the pub, including an authentic Galway Hooker boat, are from the area surrounding Galway Bay. The Galway Hooker serves traditional Irish favorites fused with contemporary items all made with fresh, locally grown ingredients.

Galway Hooker is also home to Lake Norman Comedy Zone, which attracts some of the biggest names in comedy.  Part of the Comedy Zones of America network and partnered with Heffron Talent, our Lake Norman club offers national and celebrity acts each and every Tuesday.  The Comedy Zone offers the perfect atmosphere for a casual date night, corporate team building, meetup groups, or just a fun evening with close friends.  Come experience why we are voted one the "best places to take a date" ten years running!
