Lefty’s is bringing a year-long hot dog challenge to the West End

The partnership between Table 301 + the Greenville Drive will bring a sports bar to the space formerly occupied by Liberty Taproom and The Bellwether.

Table 301 is teaming up with the Greenville Drive to bring a brand new restaurant to the former Liberty Taproom + The Bellwether space: Lefty’s West End Tavern, officially opening Thursday, July 10.

As you peruse the menu, note the challenge next to the sandwiches: the Tour of Ballpark Dogs. Each month, Lefty’s will launch a specialty dog. When you try it, you earn a punch on your Hot Dog Punch Card. Get 12 punches by trying all 12 feature dogs and win a gift from Lefty.

The Lefty’s team tells us there will be other surprises along the way for devoted fans who stop in every month for the specialty dog.

July’s feature is the “Bay Area Brat” featuring a Rallyville Beer-braised bratwurst with grilled onions, pico de Gallo, arugula, avocado dijonnaise, served on a gourmet bun.

“It’s California-ed up,” said Chef Rodney Freidank.

Though Freidank says the complete lineup of dogs is planned, you’ll have to wait and see what’s next when the calendar flips to August.

About Lefty’s

“We are just so excited to be partnering with, in a very true sense, the premier restaurant group in Greenville,” said Drive owner Craig Brown.

Opening in time for the seventh-inning stretch of the season — Lefty’s promises to be a sports bar that “cares about the food, cares about the drinks, and cares about you.”

We got an early taste of the menu, and it’s stepping up to the plate with Maryland crab pretzels, classic nachos piled high, smash burgers, and wings that’ll have you calling for extra innings.

Of course, Rallyville Lager — the official beer of the Greenville Drive — is on tap, along with plenty of other options for sipping.

Lefty’s is open for lunch and dinner seven days a week, with plans to stay open “until,” accommodating big sporting events and staying open for a drink after a Drive win.
