Harrisburg! H A N G O U T I N Leaving may be tough but gett ing here is easy. Harrisburg si ts along I-485 so accessing I-85 is a breeze. Highway 49 runs right through town and a quick ride down Morehead Road puts you at Highway 29 next to Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Start by fueling your experience at a hometown favorite.

Harrisburg’s welcoming, small-town vibes

will make you want to stick around.

Enjoy a cup of joe from Rocky River Coffee Co., dive into a sandwich at Sunflour Baking Company and head to Harrisburg Family Restaurant if you’re craving homestyle cooking. Vortex Bottle Shop brings the flavor during lunch, dinner and Sun- day brunch. The charcuterie-style menu at this independent-

ly-owned eatery and pub is packed with creative dishes. The tap line is all Carolina and the full beverage selection includes hundreds of bottles to choose from. Pair a glass of beer or wine with a few small plates while listening to live music, then take home your favorites.

3 2 // v i s i t c a b a r r u s . c om

More craft beer can be found in the laid- back taprooms of Harrisburg’s two home- grown breweries. Both Percent Tap House and Pharr Mill Brewing promise fresh craft beer, tasty food trucks and a relaxing environment. Sip on a pint or sample a flight, spend some time enjoying the at- mosphere and leave with one of the best souvenirs of all—newfound friends!

One event that always draws a crowd has been a Harrisburg tradition for over 20 years. The town’s July Fourth Celebration is a free, two-day event honoring our military and their families. Snag a roadside seat and settle in for one of the area’s largest and most well-attended parades. Festivities continue with live entertainment, amusement rides and of course, fireworks! Bring your chairs and blankets and spend Independence Day under the stars enjoying a little bit of classic Americana. The ‘Burg is big on bringing everyone together.

No matter where your adventure leads, you’ll feel right at home in Harrisburg!

Local hangouts and community gatherings make this small town one you’ll want to spend plenty of time in!

Mt. Pleasant! C O L L E C T M O M E N T S I N From antique treasure troves to revived and repurposed places, Cabarrus County’s smallest town is home to several storied locales.

Among them is America’s first distillery located inside a former prison!

The experience at Southern Grace Distilleries is unlike any oth- er. Go behind bars and tour the former Cabarrus Correctional

Facility to learn all about its history, see how award-winning whiskey and bourbon are made and try a sample.

Right across the street inside the Historic Lentz Building, Café Lentz is a Eu- ropean-style café that offers craft beer, wine, coffee, smoothies and quick eats like paninis and pastries to enjoy on the balcony or dog-friendly patio. The Bakery at Mount Pleasant is adjoined giving guests even more choices for a sweet snack. Craving barbecue or a burger? Just steps away, try Mt. Pleasant Smokehouse for delicious dishes cooked low and slow or pop into What-A-Burger #13, a community staple since 1969. Take time to take in the historic surroundings. On the National Register of Historic Places, the Eastern Cabarrus Historical Society & Museum holds the town’s tales from centuries ago. Browse the exhibits, then stroll through the historic district and be sure to do some shopping at nearby boutiques like Simply Pleasant. All things vintage await at Mt. Pleasant’s antiquing destinations. Scour through 100,000-square-feet of treasures at White Owl Antique Mall and score more original finds at Ruffin’s Roost. You can even rummage through acres of items at Cline’s Country Antiques where Cabarrus County’s own The Avett Brother’s filmed the music video for their song, “February Seven.” From whiskey to history and cupcakes to keepsakes, the small town of Mt. Pleasant will leave you with a col- lection of big memories! Located inside the former Mt. Pleasant Hosiery Mill, this inde- pendent restaurant serves a wide selection of steaks, burgers, seafood and the very best bourbon. Opt for an upscale meal in the Mercantile Dining Room or grab a quick bite and local beer on the Hosiery Mill Pub side. 73 & Main also features an onsite brewery and bourbon bar with one of North Carolina’s largest bourbon selections including several rare and antique options and of course, spirits from Southern Grace. For a memorable meal, have a seat at 73 & Main.

Keep browsing for even more local flavor! Places to Eat & Drink in Cabarrus County.
