Social District #downtownhickory

Did you know about the newest amenity in #downtownhickory called Downtown Social District? Last September, a law was ratified to allow the city of Hickory to establish a “Social District". This Social District allows for common areas on Union Square where licensed establishments (e.g., bars, breweries, restaurants) may sell alcoholic beverages in designated containers to be taken into the common area for consumption. This means when you are downtown from 10am to 10pm enjoying the music or shopping or just hanging out, you can purchase an alcoholic beverage to consume anywhere within the downtown district. This area has been extended to include your favorite spots, like Hatch, Taste Full Beans, the Elks Lodge, the new Barley Market and Warehouse 18, but excludes the playground. Look for the signs below in the windows before entering the business. Please follow all the rules set up by the Alcoholic Beverage Commission. 

See you Downtown!
