This month, 97.9 The Hill’s Aaron Keck was joined by Bill and Donna Darragh from The Casual Pint for a conversation about neighborhood bars, calling Chapel Hill home, walkable communities and more!
After opening in late 2019, Chapel Hill’s Casual Pint had a rougher start than most similar spots! But through COVID and now heading into the future, the Casual Pint’s footing as a neighborhood bar in a walkable area is shaping up wonderfully.
“I think what drew us to [The Blue Hill District] was just the residential that was growing up all around, as well as the fact that there were established businesses there,” said Donna Darragh. “Right now, as it’s developing, we’re adding things that are making it walkable, but it still has a lot of room to grow in that department. … So, I’m hoping that all of that will connect and it’ll make it so that all these people living in all the different apartments that are being built, not just on our road, will be able to get there more easily.”
