South Carolina Restaurants Close, More Set to Close
The Ottaray Raw Bar & Taphouse on Laurens Road in Greenville, South Carolina, permanently closed after its owners cited slower-than-expected business. The restaurant, which opened in late 2024 with a Charleston-inspired seafood menu, thanked its staff and customers for their support. Separately, Greenville’s Side Bar Drinkery + Kitchen announced it will close Nov. 21, saying its owners want more time for their family while operating two restaurants. Duncan Family Restaurant in Duncan also plans to close Nov. 15 after nearly 20 years; it previously cited staffing challenges and a slowdown in business.
