Rooted in Kannapolis, Built for Cabarrus County


The story of Towel City Tavern began in 2016, when Cabarrus Brewing Company and the Kannapolis Cannonballers (then the Intimidators) partnered to create something truly local. As downtown Kannapolis underwent a bold transformation, we saw an opportunity to craft a space where great food, craft beer, and community come together.

Today, Towel City Tavern is proud to serve as a gathering place for all of Cabarrus County—a spot to share meals, celebrate moments, and enjoy the best of what makes our hometown special.

Each bite offers a harmonious symphony of flavors, where the sweet tang of homemade barbecue sauce melds seamlessly with the smoky essence infused into every savory morsel.

It’s not just a meal; it’s a celebration of tradition, flavor, and the sheer joy of exceptional barbecue.
