For June's Line Up

Firkin: Milk Stout Stout with Vanilla and Orange Zest Created by Javier Mejia. $1 of every pint sold is donated to our Charity of the Month.

Artist of the Month: Melissa Wineman Mo's Art - "Lifelong artist with the passion to create! My work ranges from paintings, drawings, repurposed jewelry, handmade bags, and more to come! ...because art!"

Local Band: Water Works - Founded on the west side of Charlotte in an old WaterWorks building, the five-piece ensemble (sax, guitars, bass, vocals, drums) brings influences spanning generations and genres. Age range from 27-61, the group stretches what it means to be a rock band through live improvisations over their originals and new takes on classic hits. The band meshes their 35 year age variances into a conversation between Jerry Garcia, Keith Richards, Branford Marsalis, and David Bryne.

Local Food Truck: Dr.Noodle - The Noodle Specialist Food Cart
