FRESH LOOKS
PERFECT PLAIN
Quickly approaching its first birthday, Perfect Plain Brewing Co. opened on Garden Street in the former Vowell’s Printing building in late 2017. The renovations to transform the former print ship into a brewery and taproom meant stripping the building to its bare bones and installing
huge brewing tanks and a wraparound bar.
Perfect Plain has proven popular since its opening and the owners have announced plans for further renovations to add a private event space and “garden bar” in the rear of the building.
VINYL Earlier this year, Vinyl Music Hall underwent its first renovation since opening in 2010. Owners Harry and Evan Levin executed a quick two-month turnaround of a complete interior renovation that increased the music hall’s capacity from 525 to 860. The main addition was a wraparound mezzanine stretching from the rear of the venue around and behind the stage. The building’s entrance and box office were also completely redone. With the capacity for larger crowds, Vinyl will be able to pursue acts for whom the previous capacity would have made performing there economically unfeasible. 30 | Business Climate | nwflbusinessclimate.com
