Greenville Bid Farewell to The Velo Fellow: A Beloved Pub Closes Its Doors
Residents of Greenville are preparing to say goodbye to one of their cherished watering holes, as The Velo Fellow, a pub that has been a part of the community for nearly 14 years, has announced its permanent closure. As the news broke this past week, many patrons are feeling a mix of sadness and nostalgia for the good times shared within its walls.
A Heartfelt Announcement
In a heartfelt post on their Instagram page, The Velo Fellow shared the news with their loyal customers. “It’s with a very heavy and broken heart that we must announce that the sun is finally setting on the Velo Fellow,” the statement read.

In a bid to celebrate their legacy, The Velo Fellow is planning to make its last few weeks special. They want to provide an opportunity for both staff and customers to create wonderful memories before they close the doors for the final time. “We have shows and events scheduled for the next month to give everyone a chance to share their experiences and say goodbye,” they assured. If you’ve spent any time at The Velo Fellow, you know it was a place to unwind with friends, enjoy great food and drinks, and soak up the vibrant atmosphere.

As the news of its closure circulates, many are expressing their fond memories and appreciation for the laughter and joy shared at this beloved establishment.
Community Response
As people react to this announcement, social media is buzzing with sentiment. “I can’t believe it’s closing! I have so many great memories here with my friends!” exclaimed one loyal customer. Others have taken to sharing photos and stories of their favorite moments, creating a digital scrapbook of the experiences that have shaped their time at The Velo Fellow. Such collective affection illustrates just how much this pub has meant to the community over the years.
The Future of The Space
The question on many minds is what will happen to the space after The Velo Fellow’s closure. While no details have been released about potential new tenants, the hope is that whatever fills its place will continue to foster a sense of community. The pub has been an integral part of the Augusta Street scene, and the locals will be watching closely to see what the future holds for the location.
