Looking for a pregame or after-show drink near Spectrum Center? Peace & Saint, a cocktail lounge with locations in Raleigh and Durham, has opened in Uptown’s First Ward, Axios Charlotte reports.

What to expect: According to Axios, the seasonal drink menu has about 10 cocktails starting at $14, including a key lime martini and margaritas, plus beer, wine and non-alcoholic options. There’s plenty of lounge seating, hookah, and a live DJ most nights. Patio seating is on the way.

Why it’s handy: It’s a short walk from Spectrum Center, so it works for Hornets games and concert nights. If you’re already paying for Uptown parking, you might as well stay a while.

If you go: 350 E. 6th St., Suite 1. Open Tuesday–Thursday 6 p.m.–1 a.m., Friday–Saturday 5 p.m.–2 a.m., and Sunday 1–6 p.m. and 8 p.m.–1 a.m. Closed Mondays. These hours are from Axios’ Oct. 2 report, so check with the venue before you go.
