The Bellwether Public House, located next to Fluor Field on Main Street, opened in April for the Greenville Drive’s first homestand. Now, in time for the last homestand of 2023, the restaurant will reopen Thursday, Aug. 31 with a new menu by Urban Wren’s Executive Chef Taylor Montgomery.

Chef Taylor’s new menu is “familiar” with comfort food you look forward to when catching a game at a pub, but it also offers “a bit of an adventure.” “Our aim is to present a menu with options that captures the essence of a public house while introducing subtle culinary twists that intrigue the palate,” Chef Taylor explains.
