We’re taking over the entire Southside space on Montford. It’s massive. Young people know this as the go-to late night spot in Charlotte (made our list of top 5 spots for dance floor make outs). Old people know this as the old Andrew Blair’s where you met your wife back when you could hang out later than 10 p.m.

Who are the human beings leading this?

Garrett and Sam. Garrett is partner in both Ready at 7, a boutique digital marketing agency, and Hygge, an up-and-coming coworking space in the Third Ward. Sam White is a creative thinker with a passion and talent for bringing ideas to life. She is an art director, calligrapher and community builder with an intention to create spaces where people connect, grow and build together.
