Between reader-submitted staples and social media shout-outs, we’ve gathered the names of hundreds of closed Greenville businesses that have everyone singing, “Baby Come Back.”
While we can’t illuminate the “open” neon, we can reminisce (again) with a more robust roundup. This is not a full list of businesses you listed, these are just the most mentioned.
Birds Fly South | 7 years in business | This brewery + taproom was a staple in the Greenville beer scene. Its closure in September 2023 shocked the city.
The Chocolate Moose | 9 years in business | The Chocolate Moose always knew how to satisfy your sweet tooth. Its cookies, cake pops, cupcakes, and breads always hit the spot.
Barley’s | ~30 years in business | This taproom was known for its pizzas, beer selection, and pool tables.
Bake Room | 5 years in business | We’re not sure what we miss more: The morning buns or the ham and cheese croissants.
Husk + Husk Barbeque | 5 years in business | After the pandemic, Husk re-opened as a barbecue concept, and boy was it good.
Basta | ~3 years in business | The vegan treats from Basta were so good, you didn’t know they were vegan.
Lemongrass Thai Cuisine | 25 years in business | You never left Lemongrass hungry. The chicken pad thai was one of City Editor Stephanie’s favorite dishes in Greenville.
EXHILE | ~2 years in business | EXHILE was the name and craft cocktails were the game. With some of the best bartenders in the biz, this hidden spot was a diamond in the rough.
Tommy’s Country Ham House | ~40 years in business | Now the site of Lewis Barbecue, this family-owned joint was famous for its smoked meats and delicious sides.
Brewery 85 | ~10 years in business | This local brewery combined German brewing techniques with southern culture.
These businesses may be gone, but they’ll never be forgotten.
