An old bank has been converted into a brewery serving various styles of beer plus wine, kombucha and seltzer. If you take a look around, you’ll notice several nods to the building’s past: a vault door, lock boxes and pneumatic tubes that once transported money back and forth.
Things to Do
Neighborhood: NoDa

Get the perfect Instagram shot at this Black-owned selfie museum in NoDa. Visits last an hour and a half and cost $19 weekdays or $25 Friday-Sunday. Don’t miss a single one of the 12+ installations like the cloud wall, vinyl record room or flower wall.

SkyCYCLE
Neighborhood: Dilworth
Hours: See classes here.
Enjoy 45 minutes of high-energy cycling on the rooftop of the Dilworth Crossing building (yes, outdoors) thanks to this new cycle studio. Each student receives a pair of headphones so that the instructor’s voice and music stay contained to the class. Classes are currently available via SweatNET, but the studio will launch their own app in July.
