You may have read our preview of Cork in downtown Southern Pines – but if you missed the update on our Instagram, the new nightlife spot is officially open with a full bar and a mocktail menu. Owner Pat McKee wants to bring the occasional vinyl night to Cork, but for now, the space is just serving vibes.

The bar is located inside the historic Princess Theatre (which, yes, used to be a real theater). Pat is looking to compile old photos of the building to celebrate its history. If you or someone you know has any photos or mementos to share, feel free to send Cork a DM. Thirsty? Stop in for drinks Tuesday through Thursday 4-10 p.m. and Friday through Saturday 4-11 p.m.
