Lot 63 just opened on February 17 at 612 S. Main Street in the heart of Old Salem.


This space used to be occupied by the Moravian Bookstore which has relocated and the building is owned by the Salem Congregation.

Current hours are 7am to 3pm but will soon be expanded to stay open until 10pm on weekdays and 11pm on Weekends with a taproom for beer and wine.

Lot 63 is the business name and is co-owned by four people:  Ned Erickson (everyone knows Ned), Andrew Craver (Moravian Pastor), Chelsea Wilkerson (Wilkerson Bakery), and Alan Fox (Native to Winston-Salem currently residing in Houston, TX)

Lease was signed over the summer and required building renovation began.  

Given its location in the middle of Old Salem, this will be a place where many folks form a first impression of Winston-Salem.  

This is a place to hang out in Old Salem without requiring a museum ticket.

Table was custom made my an amish friend of Ned's
