Today, The Proof Kinston will be closed in observance of Memorial Day as we pause to honor the brave men and women who gave everything for this country. 🇺🇸

It’s a day to remember the fallen, reflect, and allow our staff time to be with their families.

We appreciate your understanding, and we’ll see everyone back tomorrow for The Most Twisted of Tuesdays 🍻

𝗕𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗗𝗬 𝗠𝗔𝗥𝗬 𝗦𝗨𝗡𝗗𝗔𝗬. 🍅🔥
Because brunch is overrated and Sundays at The Proof Kinston hit different.

Linn 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝘁 𝗡𝗢𝗢𝗡 — and yes, the Bloody Mary situation will be handled accordingly. 👀

Then buckle up… because this week is stacked:

🍷 𝗪𝗜𝗡𝗘 𝗗𝗢𝗪𝗡 𝗪𝗘𝗗𝗡𝗘𝗦𝗗𝗔𝗬

𝗢𝘂𝘁𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲. Chrome, cold air, live music, and a parking lot full of bad influences. Exactly how Thursday should look. 🔥

🤠 𝗦𝗔𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗗𝗔𝗬 | Should’ve Been Cowboys
⏰ 𝟵𝗣𝗠
90s country. Loud singalongs. Probably zero dignity by closing.

So today? Recover… or pregame for the week ahead. 😏

Then at 𝟵𝗣𝗠… 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 takes over the patio 🎸

If you’ve seen him, you already know.

No overthinking it. Just show up.

DOWNTOWN KINSTON 𝑩𝑳𝑶𝑪𝑲 𝑨𝑵𝑫 𝑹𝑶𝑳𝑳 — ROUND 2. 🔥

THURSDAY JUNE 4 we shut the block down again.

Start your evening at The Proof Kinston with Soundcheck Social featuring Lonnie Britton from 5–7PM on the patio.
If you know Lonnie, you know the deal—great voice, strong acoustic set, and exactly the right way to kick off the night.

Then at 7PM, it moves outside for BLOCK & ROLL with The Lost Artists taking over Herritage Street.

This isn’t some niche tribute set. This is a straight-up crowd playlist played live.
Def Leppard. Bon Jovi. Tom Petty. Black Crowes. Creed. GNR. Eagles. Motley Crue. Blink-182. Charlie Daniels. Stuff you actually know. Stuff you actually sing.

The Lost Artists bring Garyn Mizelle, Dean Mizelle, Johnny Corbett, and Alex Bowen—and they’re built for one thing: keeping the street alive.

Big thanks to the sponsors helping make it happen:
Bojangles • Lenoir Community College • CRB Water • Sugar Hill Pizzeria • Stallings

📍 5–7PM — Lonnie Britton @ The Proof Kinston
📍 7–9PM — The Lost Artists @ Block & Roll
📍 N Herritage St between North & Gordon

Bring a chair. Bring your people. Let’s do downtown right

BLOCK & ROLL was absolute chaos in the best possible way. 🔥🤘

Downtown showed OUT last night… and honestly? We’re still recovering. Or maybe we’re not. 😈

It’s Friday at The Proof Kinston which means one of two things:
👉 recovery mode
👉 making questionable decisions two nights in a row

Linn opens at NOON
Cheyenne + Josh tonight

And if the crowd gets loud enough… we might just fire up a little karaoke later 👀🎤

Then tomorrow— we do it all over again:

🔥 BLADE STRICKLAND LIVE
