The Matador to Open on Meeting Street in April
The Matador, a restaurant and tequila bar with locations in Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, is set to open its doors in late April in Charleston. The concept, which serves Mexican cuisine and a selection of agave spirits, will be taking over the former Sticky Fingers space at 235 Meeting Street.
The opening of Matador Charleston represents the brand’s first location on the East Coast and in South Carolina, as well as the brand’s 10th location overall.
This adult-friendly restaurant, which welcomes guests over 21, will offer a variety of weekly specials including a twice-daily happy hour and “Top Shelf Tuesday,” offering half-off any agave spirit over $16. Complementing their collection of tequilas, mezcals, and other authentic agave spirits are dishes ranging from nachos to salads and sandwiches to classic burritos, enchiladas, tacos, and more. Boasting over 4,500 sq. ft. of upstairs event space, those of all ages are welcomed to gather at Matador Charleston for private parties and banquets.
Opening just ahead of the Cinco de Mayo holiday, Matador Charleston will offer drink deals on Dos XX beers and Teremana tequila on May 5th in celebration.
Matador Charleston will be open every day from 11 am to 12 am with daily happy hour from 4 pm to 6 pm and 10 pm until last call.
