Since 2007, @petrasbar has been a heartbeat for Charlotte’s creative community. Starting as a cozy piano bar, the venue has evolved into a beloved independent space where music, art, and self-expression collide.
As a 2025 LMS Toolbox Grant recipient, Petra’s was able to use grant funding to give their exterior a fresh new look with updated signage. We love seeing these investments make a visible impact!
If you're in the Charlotte area, give them a follow and show them some love! Stop by and you might discover your next favorite local band, see a national act, sing your heart out at karaoke, vibe at a jazz jam, or take in one of their famous drag nights. Petra’s delivers the kind of diversity and magic only independent venues can.
Stay tuned for our 2026 Toolbox Grant recipients coming soon 👀
