Bryan Beal, founder of the Innovative Hospitality and Development Group (IHDG), toured an old mill in Fountain Inn over three years ago. Now, he’s operating a brewery on the site + will open a food hall concept Friday, Nov. 15.
Located at the corner of Ellison and Wall Streets, just steps from Fountain Inn’s Main Street., the old flour mill — which is on the National Register of Historic Places — houses three tin-clad wood structures. They’ve been restored with an emphasis on preserving the site’s history + repurposing original materials in the process.
Then: The repair shop | Now: The food hall
A 6,000-sqft food hall (like IHDG’s other concept Vaughn’s Food Hall in Simpsonville) will take over the former repair shop building on the far side of the property, offering families even more dining options.
Get ready to indulge in:
- Sushi rolls, nigiri, sashimi, poké + rice bowls from Bingbi Sushi
- Birria tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and ramen from Birria Boy
- Appetizers, soups + salads, sandwiches, wraps, burgers, hot dogs from Bistro 44
Then: The Ellison Flour Mill | Now: Fountain Inn Brewing Co.
This three-story, 5,000-sqft building houses an original brewery concept. Guests can grab craft beer, or wine and cocktails, at the bars — yes, plural — with service offered on both the first and second level. Plus, pair your drinks with pizza, shareables, and salads.
Then: The auction house | Now: Indoor seating
The middle building (2,830 sqft) offers more indoor seating with access to a green space. Get ready to watch movies and sporting events on the outdoor big screen (which is among the biggest, if not the biggest, in Greenville County).
