Bev Proseccheria, the popular Prosecco bar inside a vintage Airstream in Plaza Midwood, is expanding to West Charlotte's Thrift Road.
Why it matters: Since opening last winter, Bev has turned a once-unused Plaza Midwood lot into a popular neighborhood hangout. Now, it's bringing its Italian café vibes across town with Pizza Baby.
Driving the news: Bev will soft open its second location Wednesday, Oct. 28, on the patio of Pizza Baby West.
- The new location is in the growing retail district just west of Uptown called FreeMoreWest.
- Bev owner Michelle Castelloe, who also owns Moxie Mercantile, has been working with Pizza Baby owners Trey Wilson and Steven De Falco on the expansion since March.
What to expect: Much of the same menu as Plaza Midwood, including Prosecco by the glass and bottle, and specialty spritzes.
- Bev's signature blue-and-white bistro chairs, marble-topped tables and garden arches on the patio, which has a clear view of Uptown's skyline.
- Customers can order drinks directly from Bev or order from its menu while dining at Pizza Baby.
Between the lines: Castelloe sees the partnership as a way for two small businesses to share space and support each other.
- Jason Michael, owner of Tip Top Daily Market, will serve as beverage director for Bev FreeMoreWest.
What's next: Bev will soft open Wednesday, Oct. 28 through Sunday, Nov. 1. The first big event will be Front Porch on Saturday, Nov. 7, Castelloe says.
If you go: Find Bev at Pizza Baby West, 2135 Thrift Road.
- Open Wednesday–Thursday, 4–9pm; Friday–Saturday, 4–10pm; Sunday, noon–9pm.
- The bar will initially follow Pizza Baby's hours, though closing times may change.
