Though Chapel Hill’s West End Wine Bar won’t reopen, a town favorite has plans for it

Posted Mar 12, 2021
West End Wine Bar won’t reopen on the other side of the pandemic. Owner Jared Resnick is selling the building to Mediterranean Deli owner Jamil Kadoura, who plans to open an event space. The site is historic as the location of the former Colonial Drug Store, where in 1960, Black high schoolers staged a sit-in. The group inspired a series of sit-ins. (Durham Herald-Sun)
