SALISBURY, N.C. — Downtown Salisbury Social District (DSSD) will be open to the public beginning Friday, July 1. as part of the city's effort to revitalize small businesses and the local economy.
The city is following in the footsteps of many other townships after the state relaxed restrictions on open containers last year.
From noon until midnight, Monday through Sunday, visitors can frequent this district:
People are also encouraged to frequent Bell Tower Green Park, as follows:
November 1 through March 1: between 5 p.m. and park closing
March 2 through October 31: between 6 p.m. and park closing
The city says that drinks must be consumed from an official DSSD cup received at an ABC-licensed participating business, identified by a DSSD window sticker.
These businesses are selling DSSD-approved drinks:
- La Cava

- Salty Caper
- Bottle and Can
- Sweet Meadow
- Shuckin’ Shack
- Shug’s
- New Sarum
- The Fish Bowl

Each business will label the cup with a sticker, identify where it was purchased and mark the name of the purchaser and when they bought it.
Outside alcohol is not allowed within the district and any drinks bought may not leave the district.
Violations to the social district's rules should be reported to the Salisbury Police Department at 9-1-1.
