New Cocktail Bar Set To Open On The Fayetteville Square

The Guisinger, a new cocktail bar in the works by the team behind Feed & Folly and City Park, is set to open early this year on the Fayetteville Square at 1 E. Mountain St.

• If These Walls Could Sing: The name and decor of the bar commemorate the building’s history, which was home to a music store operated by Ivan Guisinger and his sons from 1925-1981. Constructed in 1886, the two-story building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

• Snack and Snug: The Guisinger adds a spot to grab a drink, appetizers, and desserts on the Square while visiting the dining options. Following renovations, the space will feature private seating areas, called “snugs,” and seating on the interior balcony.
