A new gastropub has opened its doors in Lower Greenville. Called Laurel Tavern, the fresh addition is located at 1920 Greenville Ave.
The California-based eatery — with sister locations in Hermosa Beach and Studio City — has taken over the space formerly occupied by Clark Food & Wine, Eater Dallas reports, boasting high-top tables, tin walls, an L-shaped walnut bar and more.
On the menu, look for gastropub fare like fish tacos, garlic Parmesan fries, chicken tenders (with a sweet and spicy twist) and sandwiches. Five burgers are available, including the signature Tavern burger — a house-ground patty complete with honey mustard, avocado, pickled red onion and shredded lettuce on a toasted bun.
At the bar, drinkers will find specialty cocktails like the Lost in Translation —with whiskey, Combier rose, lemon and rosemary — as well as the Big Buck Hunter consisting of Old Forester bourbon, vanilla, ginger beer, mint and lime. (Check out the full menu here.)
It's still early days for the fledgling business — it's got just one review on Yelp thus far.
Jenna B., who was the first Yelper to review the new spot on May 24, said, "Greenville has needed a casual gastropub like this. Music selection is great. The bar staff are all friendly and really know what they're doing. Food is incredible ... the jalapeño burger and chopped salad are my favorites, and the El Chapo is spicy enough to have a serious kick but still be thoroughly enjoyable."
