Southern Comforts: Silver Moon Saloon

Thursday’s Southern Comforts returns… with a watering hole in Winston Salem North Cacka. I was down in Winston for an art opening at SECCA (cool museum!), and naturally, was looking to get fucked up after the opening to celebrate. My wife, brother, and I wound up at this spot after driving around town a bit and deciding this looked like the place where people with tattoos hung out in town. The night would have been pretty forgettable if one of the gallery assistants from SECCA (who will remain anonymous) hadn’t shown up and started drinking with us. He kicked the evening into action with some brazen bottle breaking in the parking lot and waitress shit-talking before capping the night off by climbing a drain pipe in order to rip down the exterior speaker after the bartender refused to turn off Van Halen. So yeah, it was a fun night. And considering that the guy we were with was a local/regular and didn’t get kicked out I’d have to say this place is alright. Of course this was just one night three years ago so it could suck now… but if it sucks I guess you can always cause a ruckus.
