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!
