Cattle Shed boasts a strong emphasis on wine and enlisted Michael McNeil, Georgia’s one and only master sommelier, to create the wine list offering 150 Old World and New World selections that rotate seasonally and 30 wines by the glass. The beverage selection also features craft cocktails, sangria, frosé and rotating seasonal beers. Guests at Cattle Shed can look forward to happy hour specials, wine tasting events and an incentivized wine club.
The 2,500 square-foot restaurant space features a purple and brass color scheme, several banquettes, large windows that look out onto the wraparound patio and an indoor-outdoor bar. The dining room seats 70, while the large patio seats an additional 50.
“As Halcyon continues to expand and evolve its offerings, Cattle Shed’s much-anticipated opening comes at a perfect time when we’re seeing more people enjoying our outdoor-centric community — whether they are frequent visitors or first-timers,” said Phil Mays, principal at RocaPoint Partners and developer of Halcyon. “We often talk about our vision for Halcyon as a next-generation gathering place, the realization of the Yeremyans’ dream for Cattle Shed is a prime example of how we are partnering with established, local businesses to create one-of-a-kind experiences where Forsyth County can make everlasting memories.”
