And this winner is...

A Biergarten. 🍻 Soda Citizens love them some beer. With 235 total surveyors, Biergarten got 30% of the votes. And with ~6,800-sqft. of empty space that has indoor/outdoor capacity + a parking lot, we think it’s definitely doable.

Following kinda close behind, a ‘local restaurant with fresh food’ and ‘Tupelo Honey Cafe’ tied for second place with 18% of the votes. (These ballot options were the top 10 ideas from your 230 comments.)

What could a Biergarten in Five Points look like? Here’s some inspo. ⬇️

🍻 Bay Street Biergarten (named one of the best beer gardens in America, by CNN Travel | Charleston

🍻 Ben’s Tune Up | Asheville

🍻 Ladybird Grove & Mess Hall | Atlanta

🍻 The Brass Tap | Charlotte

🍻 Brewhaus | Chattanooga

We’ve sent all this info to the Five Points Association, who is currently in talks with developers to fill the space. Stay tuned to see what happens. 🤞

But if you want to wish upon a shooting star or throw a penny in a fountain while keeping the Biergarten in mind, we won’t interfere.
