It's finally happening.

Vine Street Pub & Brewery welcomed its first guests in four years on Thursday, June 6, and will fully reopen starting at 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 8.

The popular Uptown spot closed when indoor dining was shut down in March 2020 because of the pandemic, and it's definitely taken its time reopening. It underwent a major renovation while it was shuttered, though, with big improvements to the kitchen in particular.

In March, Vine Street finally announced a reopening date, and while it had to push back its initial goal of May 15, it's now ready to come back full force — and yes, the former cash-only spot will accept credit cards now.

It's invited guests to visit on June 6 and 7 for some test runs, offering free food to those who got tickets via an Eventbrite link posted on Facebook, but everyone is welcome after that.

Here's to a summer of beers, wings, burgers and fries at this Uptown favorite — finally!

Vine Street will be open from 3 to 9 p.m. Thursday through Sunday; it's located at 1700 Vine Street. Learn more here.
