The sign announcing Tipsy Taco's departure from Augusta Road and the anticipated opening of 'The Pharmacy'.
Greenville residents are feeling the buzz as Tipsy Taco announces the closure of its Augusta Road location. After years of serving the community, the beloved restaurant will shut its doors this Sunday. However, this isn’t the end; a new concept called ‘The Pharmacy’ is set to take its place. Tipsy Taco aims to embrace change and continue serving delicious food, with plans for expansion in South Carolina. While Greenville faces challenges in the restaurant scene, Tipsy Taco’s spirit will thrive in new ventures, offering excitement for fans and food lovers alike.
Greenville is buzzing with news as Tipsy Taco has announced it will be closing its location on Augusta Road, and the changes are sure to make waves in the community. After years of serving up delicious tacos, refreshing margaritas, and creating cherished memories, the restaurant will officially close its doors this Sunday, April 6. But before you get too sad, this isn’t necessarily a farewell; it’s more like a new chapter!
In an upbeat announcement posted on social media, Tipsy Taco indicated that while the Augusta Road location is bidding adieu, they are simultaneously brewing up something exciting called ‘The Pharmacy’. What exactly is ‘The Pharmacy’? Well, the details are still under wraps, and we’re all left in suspense to find out what this new venture will offer. But one thing is clear: Tipsy Taco is all about transformation rather than just closing shop.
For those who may not be familiar, Tipsy Taco opened its doors back in 2016, and the Conestee Avenue spot began serving patrons in 2018. Nestled at 15 Conestee Avenue—just off of Augusta Road—it became a neighborhood treasure where people gathered for good food and even better company.
However, Tipsy Taco isn’t the only restaurant battling challenges in the lively Greenville dining scene. This year has seen a wave of closures, with around 12 significant restaurants and bars shutting down due to various reasons, including new state laws, underperformance, and the rising costs of food. The recent departures of beloved local favorites like The Velo Fellow, Bonjour Main, and The Bellwether Public House highlight just how tricky things can get in the restaurant game these days.
Despite the closure on Augusta Road, Tipsy Taco isn’t waving the white flag. The owners have their sights set on the future, with ambitions to expand their brand. They’re already planning new Tipsy Taco locations, including one in nearby Simpsonville. It appears that the company is shifting its focus to fortify its restaurant presence while letting go of less successful ventures, like the Tipsy Music Pub.
While some things may be changing, Tipsy Taco is adamantly looking to keep the elements that made their original location a hit. This means that when you eventually get to visit ‘The Pharmacy,’ you can likely expect a full bar with a delightful emphasis on tequilas, ensuring you’re in for an amazing experience.
In exciting news for fans of the brand, Tipsy Taco is also developing its franchise arm to broaden its outreach in South Carolina. Frank Roman, one of the driving forces behind the Tipsy Taco brand, is gearing up to unveil a new location in Hendersonville, North Carolina within two to three months. It seems like Tipsy Taco is on a roll and ready to serve more taco lovers in new locales.
So what does all this mean for Greenville? While the closure of the Augusta Road location may feel bittersweet, it opens the door for fresh experiences and possibilities. From the closure to the grand unveil of ‘The Pharmacy,’ it’s clear that the spirit of Tipsy Taco will continue to thrive in the community. As they embark on this new journey, fans are left eagerly awaiting what’s to come while reflecting on the cherished moments spent at Tipsy Taco’s Augusta location. Cheers to new beginnings!
