DISH ON DINING: What's going in the old Never Blue space?

By Bill Moss, Published: May 23, 2024

Although restaurants come and go, there’s never a shortage of creative entrepreneurs ready to invest in the high-traffic Main Street corridor.

Tipsy Taco, a Greenville, S.C.-based restaurant corporation with eight locations in the Upstate, will soon bring its Tex-Mex menu, full craft beer, wine and cocktail bar and"exciting atmosphere" to the city.
A construction crew has gutted the old Never Blue space at 119 S. Main St. and is poised to complete a total rebuild.
Tipsy Taco — tagline "Made from Scratch: Tex-Mex with a Little Twist" — offers an extensive menu that includes $8-9 lunch specials, filet mignon, chicken, ground beef and pork nachos ($10-17), beef, chicken, pork, seafood and vegetarian tacos in flour or white corn tortilla, hard shell or lettuce wrap ($4.80 to $6.60), burritos, quesadillas and enchiladas ($11-17), Churrasco, Pork Belly and Pineapple Fiesta bowls ($12-16), soup and salad. The full bar features margaritas, frozen and on the rocks, margarita flights and other cocktail specialties, plus wine, domestic, Mexican and rotating local craft beer on tap, bottles and cans.
In addition to three locations in Greenville, Tipsy Taco operates franchises in Simpsonville, Greer, Clemson, Easley and Duncan.
Frank Roman, who owns the Hendersonville franchise and two others, said Thursday he's waiting on permits from the city of Hendersonville to complete the renovation. "It should be about two months" of work, he said, and he hopes to open Tipsy Taco by Labor Day for sure.

"It'll be the same menu, it'll be the same exciting atmosphere," he said. "We're going to do a good job for Hendersonville."
