Dogwood Southern Table and Bar is mixing things up this summer.
You may already know about the coolness and deliciousness of Dogwood (if you don’t, go find out.) They’re obviously killin’ the food game but also have a unique and tasty cocktail program created by “barkeep extraordinaire” Brian ‘The Hammer’ Lorusso.

To shed some light on Brian’s mad skills and the overall flourishing cocktail culture in North Carolina, Dogwood is hosting a guest barkeep series in which bartenders from nearby restaurants will join Brian behind the bar for the night.
Details are below. If you can’t make one of these, keep checking in with the folks at Dogwood. Other guest barkeep dates are in the works.
