City Tavern
Greenville, SC
A downtown favorite for more than 20 years, City Tavern’s signature teal façade has been transformed with a fresh design by DP3 Architects. This project was part of the City of Greenville’s Facade Improvement Program, an initiative aimed at preserving the charm of downtown while supporting business vitality.
The design reimagines the building’s street presence with a modern aesthetic that complements the surrounding downtown streetscape. Sleek black framing and expanded glazing create a bold contrast to the warm brick accents, offering patrons inside a stronger visual connection to the energy of East North Street. Updated balcony railings, signage, and improved lighting all contribute to a more inviting pedestrian experience.
By balancing contemporary design elements with the building’s historic context, this refresh ensures City Tavern continues to be a staple destination in downtown Greenville for years to come.
