D9 Brewing’s beer garden and concert pavilion opens Saturday in Uptown

What to expect: The highly anticipated addition will officially open this (Saturday, Sept. 18) with its first outdoor concert.

• It will be open from noon-11pm on the first day.
• Music starts at 5pm with The Dropouts and Unknown Artist Band performing.
• They’ll have food from Phresh Italian Ice and Darby’s Cuisine.

On tap: D9 sells beers on draft, cans and bottles. The Uptown location has some of the same beers as Lake Norman and some new additions. General manager and head brewer Carli Smith tells us she plans to experiment with new beers at the new location. She also plans to serve seltzers and seltzer slushies.

“We like to push the boundaries of what you would normally find in your beer,” Smith said. “(We try) to expand horizons with new beer styles.”

Coffee: D9 Uptown also serves Javesca Coffee. The coffee shop portion of D9 offers a variety of drinks from drip coffee to nitro coffee to cappuccinos and lattes.

Location: The brewery is located at the bottom of the Savoy Apartment complex building at 650 E. Stonewall St., Ste. D.

• Parking is limited inside the complex garage so light rail, scooter, walking or Uber/Lyft is recommended.

Hours: Open 7am-10pm on Mon-Wed, 7am-11pm on Thurs-Fri, 8am-11pm on Sat, and 12-9pm on Sun.
