The Kraken

One visit to The Kraken and you're family, returning for more engaging stories, friendly porch banter, and stellar live music performances. It's a fun and laid back spot to get the pulse of North Carolina's wonderfully diverse and wildly creative communities. Voted Best Neighborhood Bar and nicknamed "church with beer", this live music venue reflects the passionate loyalty of its parishioners. A collective mission to support the artists, musicians, writers and everyday folks who inspire and edify our souls, whether they've played Carnegie Hall or are firing up a new project. It's a crossroads roadhouse full of character and even more full of characters who welcome newcomers to return with friends. Come aboard The Kraken ship, mateys!
