Rethink everything you know about the canned cocktail. 🌀✨

Handcrafted by End of Days Distillery, the Hurricane is a masterclass in flavor—blending premium fruitiness with a crisp, carbonated finish that hits just right. At 9.5% ABV, it’s not just a drink; it’s a storm in a can.
Whether you’re harbor, bar-side or backyard-bound, grab the art of the cocktail and let the good times roll. 🚢💨

Pick your player: Popstar, Afternoon Delight, or Spicy Mango? 🌶️🥭#westlooplocal #stayintheloop #downtownkannapolis

Tomorrow’s the night, join us for Latin Night with DJ Alba 8-12, don’t miss out 🥒💃🏼

✨Meet our newest, most exclusive (and perhaps, least qualified) bartenders. They’re only here for one day only, and let’s just say, their mixology skills are... unique.

Wait, are they real bartenders? That’s the question on everyone’s mind. Let’s just say, their “signature cocktails” are, um, unconventional.
But who needs traditional mixology when you have... personality? These two bring a whole new meaning to “bartending entertainment.”

Disclaimer: These two may not actually be bartenders. In fact, we’re pretty sure they’re just two random guys we found on the street (April Fools again!). But hey, they’re having a good time, and we thought you might too.
So, come down to West Loop Local today and experience the chaos for yourself! And who knows, you might even get a halfway-decent drink. But we doubt it, they will be in chairs; not behind the bar, don’t worry. ✨

Get ready for the heat! 🔥 Latin Night is back with DJ ALBA. 💃🏽🕺 We’re turning up the bass with the best Salsa, Reggaeton, and Bachata all night long. Tag your crew and meet us on the dance floor!

📅 Saturday, April 4th
⏰ 8 PM - 12 AM
📍 [AT] West Loop Local | 231 West Ave, Kannapolis, NC

They say you can’t choose your family, but you can definitely choose your regulars. 🥂
Sometimes the job is about serving drinks; other times, it’s about involving your favorite people in the absolute chaos of the shift. No context needed, just pure “we’ve been here too long” energy.

Tonight’s the night! Come hangout with Byrd and some great hip hop tunes 🤌🏽

New lineup dropping this Friday 3/20… and trust us, you’re gonna want to check every box 🍸✔️

From bold sips like Barrel & Cinder to sweet vibes with the Strawberry Gem, plus the smooth Local Transfer and refreshing Afternoon Delight—we’ve got something for every mood.

Consider this your official must-try list 👀

Last night’s Latin DJ set got a little… dill-lightful 🥒💃

An absolutely electric night on the dance floor featuring beats, bad decisions, and somehow… a pickle. Don’t ask, just know the vibes were immaculate.

Missed it? Don’t worry — she’s back next month, and if this week was any indication, we truly have no idea what she’ll bring next.

Come find out with us. 🪩🔥

🍺 Drinks? Obviously.
🎧 DJ 2–12AM? Say less.
🇮🇪 Irish by 3PM? Morally, spiritually, questionable-y?

Latin Night understood the assignment 💃🔥

When the DJ booth is glowing, the beats are spicy, and suddenly everyone “doesn’t dance” is on the floor… yeah, that’s that energy. Reggaetón, salsa, bachata, hips don’t lie, drinks don’t stop.

Same bar. Different heartbeat.
Catch us turning the volume (and the vibes) all the way up. 🌈🎶🍹
