Deep South The Bar has partnered with Raleigh's own Oak & Dagger Public House on a one-time-only beer to celebrate the anniversary. This limited edition American Pale Ale will only be available while supplies last (on draft at both Deep South The Bar and Oak & Dagger) starting on the anniversary weekend, and is appropriately titled Deep South The Beer. Since the tenth anniversary is traditionally celebrated with gifts of tin or aluminum; Deep South suggests you come out and raise a cold one with them!"Ten years. They tell me that's like 72 in bar years. We're so thrilled to have survived this long. It's a tough business but it speaks volumes about our music culture to have supported a small live music venue for 10 years. And I'm really thankful to be a part of this great community of musicians and music fans. Raleigh rocks!" Dave Rose - owner/founder Deep South The Bar.
