Agave & Rye Opening in Bridge Street Town Center
Are you a fan of tequila, bourbon and cool vibes in a funky atmosphere? If so, the newest addition to Bridge Street Town Center may be right up your alley.
Agave & Rye Epic Tacos Tequila & Bourbon Hall will open this spring in the former Bar Louie location.
It is the first venue outside of the Midwest for the company, which is based in Covington, Ky. Agave & Rye offers more than 70 varieties of tequila and more than 90 of bourbon, along with a varied menu of specialty cocktails, wine, beer and dining options.
“Agave & Rye was originally looking to expand into Nashville or Atlanta as they laid out their plans for their expansion into the Southeast,” said Jaclyn Palmeri, leasing manager for Bayer Properties. “But once they were introduced to Huntsville, they knew Huntsville had to be a part of that plan.”
Agave & Rye, which began in 2018, has been honored for innovation and adaptability in Restaurant Hospitality magazine. Diners often don’t think about upscale presentations of tacos, but that’s what Agave & Rye strives to do.
The Bridge Street restaurant will seat more than 170 indoors and another 100 on its outdoor patio. The company has seven other restaurants, opening four in the last year.
“Agave & Rye is built with heart and passion,” said Yavonne Sarber, founder and CEO of Agave & Rye. “We truly feel we’ve created an escape, and we’ve started calling Agave & Rye a ‘playground’. We’re creating something that causes guests to want to leave their homes to experience something amazing and one-of-a-kind.”
The menu features what it calls “epic tacos,” including The Crown Jewel of truffle mac ‘n cheese with lobster, the Swipe Right with honey-lime grilled chicken, sweet-spicy bacon and aged white cheddar, and The Proper Dinner of whiskey and Coke short rib, butter-whipped potatoes, glazed baby carrots and tobacco onions. Signature craft cocktails offer a mix of modern and traditional, from Jalapeño Pineapple Margaritas to Whiskey & Cherry Dr Pepper slushes.
