1960s pop star Petula Clark had a hit with her song “Downtown,” which featured the chorus “So go downtown/Things will be great when you’re downtown/No finer place for sure, downtown/Everything’s waiting for you.”
Awaiting independent craft beer lovers in Downtown Roanoke is the new satellite location of Parkway Brewing Company.
In 2012, Parkway opened its headquarters in nearby Salem. The award-winning brewery became known for its Get Bent Mountain IPA.
Parkway will join the vibrant dining and beverage scene on Campbell Avenue with nearby neighbors Olde Salem Brewing Co. and Three Notch’d Brewery & Craft Kitchen with Big Lick and Golden Cactus just down the road.
Parkway Roanoke is expected to open by August 1. It has been posting announcements on social media and introducing new staff like Renee Taylor (pictured), their Downtown Roanoke Taproom Manager.
