The Story Behind The Kilted Buffalo
Shawn shares his journey from managing restaurants to launching The Kilted Buffalo back in 2010. What started as a single location in Birkdale has since expanded to Langtree and Plaza Midwood, with each spot offering its own unique atmosphere while maintaining the pub’s signature neighborhood feel. This blend of barbershop and pub is a rare concept, but as Shawn explains, it’s one that fosters community and connection.

From hosting local events to supporting fundraisers, The Kilted Buffalo has become a hub for Lake Norman residents. Shawn talks about how his team brings people together through events like the Lakefront Hops Festival and other exciting gatherings. Plus, he shares some future plans for community-focused events, including the possibility of a Highland Games-inspired event you won’t want to miss!
