Welcome to The Block Where Community, Entertainment, and History Come Together in the Foothills!

A Community that Cares through Local Partnerships!

We believe in the power of collaboration and are thrilled to partner with esteemed organizations such as the Wilkes Economic Development Corporation and Wilkes Chamber of Commerce. Together, we strive to create a thriving community that fosters growth, innovation, and prosperity. We are very proud to say we won the 2022 Small Business of the Year award which is voted on by the members, sincerely THANK YOU!

Where Community Comes Together in Wilkes County!

At The Block, we take pride in being an integral part of the vibrant Wilkes County community. Our spacious entertainment playground is not just a place for fun and games; it’s a hub where local organizations and groups come together to make a difference. We host many groups and love that we can offer our facility at no charge in most cases! From the NC Special Olympics Roller Skating team, adult care groups, to the tiniest of tots with the Wilkes Partnership for the Children we could not love it more!

Spooktacular fun every year in Historic Downtown North Wilkesboro!

We are delighted to be founding members and board members of the Downtown North Wilkesboro Merchant Association, which hosts the annual Spooktacular event. This beloved tradition brings joy to families every year as they celebrate Halloween in our historic downtown.

A proud partner of the 2023 Nascar All Star Race

The Block is honored to have been a program sponsor at the prestigious 2023 Nascar All Star Race held at the iconic North Wilkesboro Speedway. It was an incredible event that showcased our shared passion for speed, competition, and community.

A Historic Trio

The Block is not just a standalone venue; it is part of a family. We are proud sister companies to The Lost Wombat Family Restaurant and The Liberty Theatre, an iconic 91-year-old movie theatre located in historic downtown North Wilkesboro.
