The North End Taphouse & Kitchen

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Taphouse last week, and to all the amazing musicians and familiar faces who make this place what it is.

A special thank you to Leslie for celebrating the end of her reign as Gecko Queen with us. There were so many memories shared, hugs, laughs, and special moments that it was impossible to capture them all.

I absolutely loved spending the afternoon surrounded by so many wonderful people from our Gulfport community. 💙

This Friday, GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Julie Black brings her soulful mix of jazz, blues, soul, roots & rock to The North End.

Soulful vocals, live music and the kind of Friday-night atmosphere the courtyard does best.

Some places you visit. Some places you belong. 💙

You might come to The North End for the live music, a cold drink or a bite to eat but it’s the people who make this place what it is.

The hugs. The dancing. The familiar faces. Where people have a way of becoming lifelong friends.

These are the moments that make The North End feel like home.

Where Gulfport gathers. 🍻🎶
