City Tavern — known for its blue exterior and iconic slushies — will close after St. Patrick’s Day for renovations led by Society Sandwich Bar & Social Club’s owners Jeremy Krauze + Chef Chris Rosensteel.
What’s changing?
A grant from Greenville’s facade improvement program will help fund exterior updates, including removing the blue plating and adding windows. Inside, the ceilings will be lifted with plans to fully embrace a “sports bar aesthetic.” A new menu is coming, but favorites like the Cajun Philly will stay.
City Tavern plans to reopen in early May.
What’s new?
Krauze and Rosensteel are also introducing two new concepts above City Tavern. The second floor will feature a lounge with craft cocktails, beer, wine, and shareable bites, while the third floor will offer “elevated table service.”
These additions are expected to open late this year or in 2026.
