Little Pep is a bar that serves thoughtful wine & food. Our menu is small and changes often — but always with a focus on local, seasonal ingredients and low-intervention wine.

  • We're a chill walk-in, seat-yourself, first-come-first-served kinda bar.

    We will reserve tables or our back room for parties of 6 or more, but we do not take reservations for parties less than 6.

    We have standing bars in our window alcoves if you want to hang out and have a drink while you wait for a spot at the bar to free up.

  • Little Pep is available to book for your private event!

    The space would be all yours, and we can collaborate on what format you're looking for. It could be anything from cocktail party style with hors d'oeuvres to a seated dinner with multiple courses. The menu would be based around our traditional offerings, but can be customized for your taste and preferences.

    We also source florals, handle desserts, and create custom menus & signage so that every detail feels special.

    Our max capacity depends on the style and format of your event, and our buyout rate starts at $2,000. Send us an email at hi@littlepepnc.com with your details and we'll make it happen.

  • As a small, table service bar, we’re always happy to accommodate large walk-in parties as space allows, but it can be difficult at peak times.

    If you have a party of 6 or more and would like to ensure we have space for your group, email hi@littlepepnc.com or call 336.777.6207‬ to reserve tables or the back room.

    Our back room seats 8 comfortably, and 12 at the max. For parties of 6+, checks will only be split evenly, and a 20% gratuity is added to the bill. Large party reservations have a minimum $200 spend.

    Parties of more than 12 will require a full buy-out.

  • Want to host a wine tasting at your house, have us pouring wine at your event, or want a curated wine list for a party? We can do all these things! Email us at hi@littlepepnc.com to chat through details.

  • Public wine tastings are on Thursdays from 6-8pm. It’s typically $10 to taste 4 wines, and the tasting fee is waived if you buy a bottle.

    We also offer custom private tastings for 1-8 people. Please email hi@littlepepnc.com for details.

  • Flash Photography

    Our space is dimly-lit and cozy in the evenings, so flash photography is extra jarring and disrupts the guest experience. Because of this, we do not allow during operating hours. If necessary, our staff will kindly remind you.

    Photoshoots

    Photoshoots are not permitted without prior permission. If you’d like to reserve the space for a photoshoot, we have a set fee of $200 per hour. Please email hi@littlepepnc.com for details.
