Great place to grab a beer or wine in the Cargo District. About a dozen beers on tap and many more…read morein bottles or cans. Most appear to be from smaller regional breweries around the country. Some from North Carolina. Inside seating available, including bar seating, as well as a fenced in outdoor seating area. No wait staff. You have to go to the bar to get a drink, which can be a hassle when they are really busy. Dog friendly. They state family friendly on their website as well, but I didn't see any kids when I was there.

There is a nice bar area , inside seating at multiple locations and outdoor also. Looks like 12 beers on tap and I have even seen tastings of beer . The bar tenders are great , so friendly . The cookie pairing was very interesting, received a cookie goody bag , 5 cookies in all. Each paired with a tasting that would complement each other . A definite place for stopping by for a beer and kicking back . Their beer in stock is of a wide variety and they do have some wine also

Housed inside a restored 1947 Quonset hut -- those curved steel structures originally designed for WWII -- the space manages to feel both industrial and welcoming at the same time. Inside, the high arched ceiling, natural light, plants, and comfortable leather seating create a relaxed lounge atmosphere that feels intentional rather than trendy. Outside, the patio area with string lights and open-air seating gives you a second completely different vibe, perfect for enjoying North Carolina sunshine. The cocktails absolutely delivered. The Brown Butter Old Fashioned is a standout. Brown butter-washed bourbon adds a subtle nutty richness that rounds off the edges of the whiskey beautifully, while the cinnamon bitters and maple bring warmth without turning the drink into dessert. It's creative but still respects the classic Old Fashioned structure -- which is exactly how a riff on a traditional cocktail should be done. The Limoncello Tonic was bright, refreshing, and crisp -- a perfect counterpoint. House-made limoncello with tonic and citrus notes makes for an easy-drinking, sunny cocktail that feels light but still flavorful. Ideal patio drink. Service and presentation appear polished, and the fact that they distill many of their own spirits in-house adds authenticity you don't always get at cocktail lounges. There's also something admirable about adaptive reuse like this. Taking a mid-century industrial structure and turning it into a modern social space is a reminder that good design doesn't have to erase history -- it can build on it. Overall: Excellent atmosphere, thoughtfully crafted drinks, unique historic setting, and a relaxed but upscale vibe. A place that feels both local and special at the same time. A special shout-out to Abigail, the bar back, who had a fantastic system for handling the crowd. Instead of everyone clustering around the bar trying to figure out where the line started or ended, she encouraged us to grab a seat and brought the drinks out when they were ready. It made the whole experience feel relaxed and organized, and it's the kind of thoughtful service detail that really stands out. Kudos Abigail!

Arrived around 530pm and was able to find close street parking (free). A lot of people were already…read morethere with their dogs and kids, so all of the limited nine bench tables were filled up. They also had one long bench seating lined up on one side, close to the bench tables. Sitting there made it a little awkward to be in such close proximity to the people on the bench tables. Small Pole table trays were available too if you don't mind standing. There's plenty of open space, so hopefully in the future they can add more seating. It may be a good idea to bring your own seats and side table if you want to do extra work. Four food trucks were lined up on one side: Rude Bwoys, Italian Ice, Gusty Peruano, and another one. There was a short line for Gusty Peruano. The pager they gave us notified us when the food was ready, took less than 15 minutes. Food was great, although expensive. The Smashburger was delicious, but the fries were on the softer side. Causa a la Limeña was good too. We didn't get drinks since there was an extremely long line, but when we initially arrived, there was no line. So if that happens to you, take advantage of that while you can. The DJ was starting to set up right when we were leaving. There were some cornhole boards. Didn't see any bathrooms or porta potties. Gusty Peruano made it worth it to visit, otherwise, not sure if I would be back.

I arrived a bit early (so what else is new?) and had an opportunity to speak with the owner and hear his plans for expanding his business.

They have a real nice selection of wines as well in the vault (place was once a bank) and the food was great. Really nice pretzels (reminiscent of some I had in Germany at a beer garden many years ago) with delicious cheese dip. Salsa (not as spicy as I normally like, but quite good) and different kinds of flat bread. All yummy, all which made me thirsty so I had to get more beer (why I used Lyft to get there and get home).
