It’s been almost a year since the rumors started flying about Natty Greene’s opening in the Powerhouse Building (the former location of Southend Brewery and Prime Only Steakhouse and Sushi Bar).
That wait is almost over as Natty Greene’s will start interviewing and hiring next week Monday Dec.14 - Thursday Dec. 17 from 10am-3pm at 505 W. Jones St. (contact) This is the first step in opening and the next step is getting that interior (below) looking like a restaurant and bar. Natty Greene’s should be open in January. The exact date has yet to be determined (more information coming soon).
2009 was a great year for new breweries to open in the Raleigh area. Lonerider Brewing Company, Boylan Bridge Brewpub and Aviator all came out swinging in ‘09 and all seem to be thriving. The competition is becoming stiff but luckily most of the breweries are spread out across the area. This will be the first in the Glenwood area (Boylan is close) since Southend closed years ago. The new energy around local beer could work to Natty Greene’s advantage.
