What's happening in Greenville this stormy weekend? (1/22-1/25)

Good afternoon, Greenville!

Here in Greenville, winter may have a bit of a bite this weekend, with the potential for icy conditions and black ice—so take care if you’re out and about. While the weather may slow things down, there’s still a lot to share in this week’s edition.

We’re rounding up local highlights, a special deal, classes, and events worth bookmarking.

Let’s dive in!

Coral Greenville

Price range: $22-$54

If you’re looking for an elevated seafood dinner with energy, Coral delivers. Located in Greenville’s West End, this highly rated seafood restaurant and bar is known for its vibrant atmosphere, polished service, and a bar that’s often just as busy as the dining room. Reservations are recommended, but grabbing a seat at the bar is part of the experience. Coral leans a bit on the pricey side; however, the bar menu offers some great, more affordable options.

Here’s what people keep coming back for:

Whether it’s a date night, a special occasion, or an impromptu evening in the West End, Coral is an easy choice for seafood, cocktails, and a lively downtown vibe.

Just an FYI, we don't make money from these deals - we just love sharing good finds with our community.

Dinner Special

Grab a full dinner for $16.99 that comes with a starter, your choice of entree, and a base (white rice, brown rice, fried rice, or lo mein). A solid deal when you want something more than takeout but don't want to spend a fortune. Check out the special menu here

Bolden Street District

A major new chapter is about to begin for Greenville. Bolden Street District is set to break ground this summer, and it’s one of the most ambitious developments the city has seen in years.

Spanning 90 acres, the project will bring approximately 2,500 residences and 750,000 square feet of retail, dining, and local-focused shopping to the area. At the heart of it all will be Bolden Square—a central public plaza designed as a true gathering place, surrounded by restaurants, shops, and spaces meant to bring people together.

What makes Bolden Street District especially compelling is how it blends urban energy with the outdoors. The neighborhood is being intentionally interwoven with green space and will connect directly to the Swamp Rabbit Trail, making it easy to move between nature, neighborhoods, and the city.

With construction starting this summer, the momentum around Greenville’s growth continues to build. Bolden Street District is poised to have a lasting impact—not just for future residents, but for Greenville as a whole.
