The N.C. Music Factory is manufacturing yet another bar - Black Bear Saloon - and production on it ends soon.
Their grand opening party is Friday, April 16, and will feature a live band The Swinging Richards and DJ Kommotion, according to Director of Operations, Nicole Steeger.
Though I am excited about having another place to party, I am more excited about the fact Black Bear serves food - because the key to my heart, is through my fat ass. Black Bear serves lunch and dinner, and has a late night menu until 2 a.m. This will provide the offices in the N.C. Music Factory (such as Creative Loafing) a place to eat lunch and a place to munch after a night out at Butter, Fillmore, The Uptown Amphitheatre or Halo.
Black Bear will have trivia on Tuesdays and karaoke on Wednesdays and they have 35 HDTVs that can get any sporting event you might want to watch. Perhaps even Underwater Hockey or the World Marbles Championship.
Also opening this summer: Wet Willies right next door to Black Bear.
Down the road, the Epicentre will welcome Vida Mexican Kitchen y Cantina. Finally, a place to get margaritas Uptown!
