VINYL South End

VINYL is the music themed bar and restaurant on South Tryon in South End, next to Wooden Robot and PIE.ZAA. A DJ plays most nights, there is a full kitchen, and the weekend brunch is better than a bar’s brunch has any need to be. The doors stay open later than anywhere else on that block.

What to know

• Loaded fries and a real dinner menu cover the food.
• Brunch runs from croissant French toast to steak and eggs.
• Big groups fit, and birthdays happen here regularly.
• It sits within a short walk of several South End breweries.
