Coffee events are slowly coming back, and I could not be more excited. Big, small, tangentially-related to coffee, I love them all. And in Stone Mountain, Georgia, Gilly Brew Bar is putting a new spin on the coffee get together. With Bars Behind the Bar, Gilly has created an evening of poetry, music, and storytelling, and itโ€™s all happening this Saturday!

Kicking off March 5th at The Mayorโ€™s House, a community incubator inside Gilly, Bars Behind the Bar is a series of live events โ€œthat started behind the bar, literally,โ€ per Gillyโ€™s Instagram, where they would โ€œinvite our daily guests turned friends behind the barโ€ to โ€œ[share] stories through poetry, music, and more.โ€ For the first edition, the Gilly crew has tapped Janetteโ€ฆikz, a poet, singer, musician, and speaker to emcee the event with music provided by DJ Kidd Kreme.

Food will be provided by Chef Christopher Polk of The Mayorโ€™s House with drinks provided by Gilly Brew Bar, who will be previewing some of their soon-to-be-released elixirs (both N/A and spiked!).

While the event is free to attend, General Admission and VIP tickets are available for purchase for $12 and $25, respectively. General admission tickets come with a drink of your choice, and the VIP comes with a drink, tapas dish, and reserved front row seating. Spiked elixirs are also available for purchase.

It gets going at 7:00pm on Saturday, March 5th, with the show beginning shortly thereafter at 8:00pm. To learn more, visit Gilly Brew Barโ€™s Instagram page, and to order tickets, visit the Bars Behind the Bar Eventbrite site.
