Hey, let’s have a day

Here’s a sneak peek of HeyDay brought to you by the anchor tenants of Gather GVL.

HeyDay, a new concept from KO Group — an anchor tenant of Gather GVL (think: Mercado Cantina, LobFather, KO Burger + HenDough) — took over the former Oak Hill Café & Farm location at 2510 Poinsett Hwy.

While the menu will be unveiled at the opening on Friday, we got a sneak peek of the space.

Drinks

In addition to a full bar inside, there’s also an Airstream bar out back on the lawn serving draft + bottled beer and frozen drinks — alcoholic for the adults, non-alcoholic for the kids. We recommend asking for something in one of the Tiki glasses.

The space

At roughly ~3,000 sqft inside and ~2.3 acres outside, HeyDay is a cozy, quaint eatery with a stage outside, lawn games like giant Connect Four and corn hole, and plenty of parking. You can sit out front, inside, or out back.

Hours

HeyDay opens Friday, May 24 at 11 a.m. and will be open Sunday-Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. + Thursday-Saturday from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
