A downtown Greenville fixture for 27 years is set to shut its doors.
Barley’s, a pizza restaurant, will permanently close April 1.
The eatery at the corner of South Laurens and West Washington streets is closing following difficulties rebuilding its workforce after the COVID pandemic, said a post on Barley’s Facebook page.
“The last 3 years have been so trying and difficult for the hospitality industry and while making it through the pandemic just to deal with a decimated workforce and an uphill battle to rebuild, I have come to the decision to close the doors one final time on April 1st,” said the post. “27 years is an amazing run for any business and I am very proud of what we have achieved in that time. I am especially proud and honored to have been able to work with all the people I’ve been honored to work with and to meet all the wonderful customers and regulars that have walked through these doors. It has truly been and honor and a privilege to serve Greenville and this community for all these years.”
While the restaurant will close on April 1, Barley’s upstairs pool hall will remain open until mid-April 2023.
