Smoke on the Water Reopens on Beacon Drive
GREENVILLE, S.C., Nov. 6. Smoke on the Water, the barbecue tavern that left its West End home at 1 Augusta Street in March 2024 when its long lease there ended, reopened Friday at 64 Beacon Drive, off Pelham Road near Interstate 85, Fox Carolina reported. The new place has a bigger kitchen, room for private parties and catering, and tables outdoors.
Mike Shuler, who started the restaurant with Frances "Chicken" Lea and her husband, Hurdle Lea, still owns it. The move took two and a half years, because permits and paperwork held up construction, he has said.
