Cocktails, Live Music, and Hillsborough Nights

Hand-crafted drinks, rotating art, and late-night energy at 114 W King St in historic Hillsborough.

About Us

At Yonder: Southern Cocktails and Brew, the atmosphere feels less like a stop-in and more like a place people return to again and again. Known as Hillsborough's unofficial living room and art space, it brings together hand-crafted cocktails, wine, beer, and a calendar that keeps the room moving with live music, jazz nights, comedy, open mic, book club, and rotating local art installations.

The setting at 114 W King St fits the mood perfectly, relaxed, creative, and easy to settle into after a walk through Historic Hillsborough. Guests consistently describe the space as cozy, cute, and full of good energy, with friendly staff and a lively community feel. From a quiet weekday drink to a weekend night out, Yonder gives Hillsborough a place where conversation, music, and art all have room to breathe.

That mix of Southern character and neighborhood charm is what makes the experience stand out. Yonder is built for people who want a bar that feels personal, social, and connected to the local scene, with a tone that is warm, welcoming, and distinctly Hillsborough.

What We Offer

Yonder serves a focused lineup of hand-crafted cocktails, wine, and beer in a bar and lounge setting that is designed for lingering, chatting, and settling into the night. The drink program is paired with a rotating mix of entertainment and culture, so every visit can feel a little different depending on the night.

The events are a major part of the draw. Guests can catch live music, a weekly jazz night, a monthly comedy show, open mic night, book club, and art exhibits featuring local artists. That combination gives the space a steady rhythm, something happening, something new, and something worth coming back for.

"My husband and I had our wedding reception at Yonder this past May, and were absolutely blown away with how perfect everything was. Eryk and Lana are some of the most easy-going people I know and I can't imagine having our reception anywhere else. The drinks were amazing, the decor was beautiful, and Eryk and Lana were absolute champs accommodating all 50 guests at an open bar! We love being able to come back for an old fashioned and live music to reminisce on that perfect day. Thank you Yonder!! "

"We were hired to play music at this venue. Upon our early and prompt arrival the owner was extremely rude to us from the get go. He proceeded to use fowl language and a loud and demanding voice with us all night. The headlining band are our friends, and they were using our equipment as well. If not for that, we certainly would not have played music in a hostile abusive environment. We will avoid ever coming back and so should you"

"Relatively small place with cozy atmosphere for folks who are more "mature". You can sit at bar on or one of the many couches. There is room to dance too. They have a variety entertainment every night, from live music, comedy, even a monthly book club(!!!) so there is something for everyone."
