The Backyard Bar—Now Open!
2901 Highway 64 East
Faithful long-timers will know exactly where this is! To the chagrin of many, The Backyard Bar’s predecessor—the Local Bar—closed its doors earlier this spring after more than five decades and five name changes. The new establishment will feature live music, big-screen sports, beer, wine, and craft cocktails…along with a lot of nostalgia!
Artfully Apex
111 N. Salem Street
A new gift shop is open in downtown Apex. Artfully Apex, located next to Fresh Local Ice Cream, is owned by Bethany Bryant of The Apex Gallery and Custom Framing just a few doors away. Artfully Apex features a wide array of display art as well as art supplies, apparel for adults and children, books and journals, jewelry, greeting cards, and unique gifts of all kinds. Stop in, say hi, and shop!
