ALBEMARLE — Hosted by the Albemarle Downtown Development Corporation, a new dining event is setting its roots in Stanly County next month.
Three participating Albemarle restaurants — Christine’s Wood Fire, Five Points Public House, and The Courthouse Tavern and Table — will offer dine-in dinner specials between Aug. 5 and Aug. 11 for The Duke’s Feast, Albemarle’s first-ever Restaurant Week promotional event.
“Mark your calendars for downtown Albemarle’s inaugural Restaurant Week, The Duke’s Feast, happening August 5-11, 2024,” Albemarle Downtown announced in a social media post. “We love working with local businesses to create fun and unique experiences in downtown.”
“The Duke’s Feast will feature nightly dine-in dinner specials at Christine’s Wood Fire, Five Points Public House, and The Courthouse Tavern and Table,” Albemarle Downtown added. “Each restaurant will feature a unique three-course dinner menu with a variety of delicious options for each course.”
Located at 197 North Second Street, Christine’s is a downtown eatery that specializes in wood Fire pizzas, steaks and seafood.
Five Points — a local favorite at 304 East Main Street — offers an upscale pub atmosphere with a rotating selection of craft, draft and local beer.
Formerly known as Off The Square, The Courthouse (at 114 South Second Street) provides southern dining staples as well as craft cocktails and a wide wine selection.
“Our friends at Albemarle Downtown have come up with a plan for a feast! Treat yourself to a fantastic time and a magnificent culinary feast in beautiful downtown Albemarle,” the Stanly County Convention and Visitors Bureau said in an advertisement. “Even if you cannot come between August 5-11, you can plan a trip to enjoy these great restaurants any other time. Be sure to come and check us out! Start your adventure here!”
With each restaurant featuring three-course menus with nearly a dozen items to select through, Christine’s Duke’s Feast meal is $40 (available at 5 p.m.), while Five Points’ is $30 (available at 4 p.m.) and The Courthouse’s is $45 (available at 4 p.m.).
