So I was dying to see some minor league baseball and the Charlotte Knights were not in town one week, so I headed up to Kannapolis to watch the Intimidators (owned by the Chicago White Socks...which is cool considering I moved from there last year). But my GF and I got there an hour early before the gates opened and the gamed started so we wanted something to eat other than hotdogs and 36oz beers.
So we headed into Kannapolis and just happened upon the Old Stone vino bistro. With its cute little deck out front, it was a nice way to have a drink and a little bite to eat without the drama of the baseball scene.
The owner was running around making sure everyone was taken care of and my GF and I asked a gentleman about a dish he was eating only to find out it was the owners husband and quite nice and informative about how the place got started and what they were planning on for the business food and entertainment wise.
Beer selection is good, plus they had a nice special that day. I tend to find smaller towns lack too depth with beer selection, but not the case with Old Stone. They have daily specials like free wine tastings every Tuesday night and Thursdays $3 Beer Day with a selection of over 35 beers.
They also have live music on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, though I think they are moving to doing that more nights of the week.
So if you are up in that "neck of the woods" I recommend you check them out...you won't be disappointed!
