The Flower Bar is Fayetteville’s first experiential craft and cocktail lounge. Located at 719 Sterling St. in Fayetteville, N.C., The Flower Bar is scheduled to open this December.
Co-owners Johanna Brumm and Dennis Bonnema are on a mission to provide Fayetteville with a safe space for women of all generations to drop in to enjoy a refreshing cocktail or mocktail while indulging their creativity.

Brumm founded a local Fayetteville business called The Downtown Market of Fayetteville eight years ago. The Downtown Market of Fayetteville creates custom floral arrangements, festive balloon decorations and beautifully crafted charcuterie boards. It also provides event decorating services and event planning services. In order to share her expertise, Brumm also hosts craft or charcuterie classes in locations throughout the city of Fayetteville.
Once The Flower Bar is open, customers will be able to stop in to 719 Sterling St. between
the hours of 6 p.m. to 11 p.m., Thursdays through Saturdays to enjoy a flower-themed
drink at the bar.
Visitors can choose to simply enjoy one another’s company at the bar, or they can choose to indulge their crafty sides! Customers have the options to make a flower arrangement with fresh blooms, create a custom-poured candle, assemble a jar of bath salts or snag one of The Flower Bar’s custom-made coloring books.
