Department of the Interiors: BREW Five Points

The latest revolution of the Historic Five Points Strip is coming dangerously close to completion, with three new business slated to open before the end of the year, and every available retail space (with the perennial exception of the former Fuel Coffeehouse) now comfortably occupied. First on the list of grand openings is BREW Five Points, a 'combination craft beer and espresso lounge' that earlier this year launched a hugely successful pop-up coffee shop inside the Main Library during One Spark festivities. Join us inside to see the awesome details of the interior!

Jack Twatchman (owner of Burro Bags and partner in Burro Bar) and Jason Fisher (of Content Design Group) have graciously granted us a preview of their new coffee/beer hybrid, which strives to work closely with other homegrown Jacksonville businesses including the gourmands of Community Loaves and Dig Foods, the beer mavens of Intuition and Bold City Breweries, and the coffee purveyors of Bold Bean and Vagabond. Follow us as we provide a rare pre-opening photo tour of Riverside's newest supplier of delicious vice.
