About:

Opened in 1992, Local 506 is an all-ages rock club in downtown Chapel Hill. The 506 is a showroom and a full bar, providing audiences the opportunity to see up-and-coming touring musicians and local bands in a simultaneously accessible and professional musical setting. Located on West Franklin Street, the 506 is conveniently within walking distance to many of Chapel Hill and Carrboro’s restaurants and bars, and a great location for either catching a show or enjoying a full night out in Chapelboro.

Parking:

Parking can be a bit tricky unless you’re familiar with the area. A helpful parking guide for Chapel Hill is here. In general, street parking is free after 6pm Monday-Saturday, and completely free on Sunday. Keep an eye out for UNC lots that are often free after 6pm as well. There is also a parking deck next to the Hampton Inn in Carrboro that is free and within walking distance to the club.

Membership Info:

In accordance with NC Law, memberships are required to attend shows at Local 506. Memberships are $2, available at the door the night of the show, and are good for life. A membership card is issued when purchased, and must be presented at the time of entry to the club (a picture on a smartphone will do just fine!). Over 21 members are welcome to have a guest, though under 21 members must each have their own membership. For more information about North Carolina’s membership laws, see page 12 here.

TL;DR: Because we serve liquor and not food we are required by NC to be a private club and charge for memberships (only $2, though). They’re good for life and you can have a guest as long as you’re over 21.

Membership Rules:

  • Membership is required for entry to Local 506
  • Once inside, don’t be dumb. No alcohol for under 21 folks, no fighting, and generally be respectful of everyone around you.

  • CANCELLED – Can’t Swim w/ Dragged Under, Fat’se, Moodring

    Local 506 506 W. Franklin Street, Chapel Hill, United States

    A message from Can’t Swim:This is a very sad day. With growing concerns related to Covid 19 and the rapidly spreading omicron variant, we have decided, with the heaviest of hearts, to cancel our upcoming headlining tour. With current state of the world the way it is, we don’t feel like we’d be able to execute this tour the way we were hoping to. We are simply not confident that we would be able to complete the tour without members of the touring party testing positive and creating a great financial burden for the other bands as well as ourselves. We also do not ever want to put an attendee of our show in a situation in which they have to choose between enjoying live music, or the guaranteed safety of themselves and their loved ones. We would like to sincerely apologize to dragged under, fat’se, moodring, and all of the lovely people who were planning on attending a show. We will be back, we promise. Stay safe and be kind to yourselves. Refunds will be available at point of purchase.
