CHARLESTON — A neighborhood West Ashley restaurant that operated for a decade on Highway 61 closed suddenly.

No Bull Burger Bar, formerly 3 Matadors Tequileria, went dark June 28.

The owner called the closure the "end of an era."

"After years of unforgettable nights, mouthwatering tacos & burgers, spontaneous dance floors, and live music that shook the walls, it’s time to close the doors — at least these doors," the company posted to Facebook.

Within days, the signs were down, the space was dark and a scattering of leftover chairs were left orphaned along the curb.

The indoor-outdoor No Bull opened in 2023 at 2447 Ashley River Road by Travis Glen of Lucky 17 Restaurant Group as a reimagination of its Tex-Mex predecessor, 3 Matadors.

The neighborhood welcomed it with mixed reviews — its menu of in-house, freshly ground burgers, hand-cut French fries and hand-breaded chicken tenders was a total turn from the margaritas, chips and tacos on the patio locals had grown to love.

The farewell post said No Bull would be "wrapping up its chapter at this location" and moving onto a new space. It did not disclose where or when it might open. The owners didn't respond immediately to requests for comment this week.

Lucky 17 also owns Southern Roots locations in Charleston and Park Circle in North Charleston and Sportsbook in Nexton and Tanger Outlets.

Mike Spears and wife Erics live around the corner and enjoy hitting up similar neighborhood spots, like Pub 61 and House of Brews, with friends.

"It's a wonderful location, and its predecessor, 3 Matadors, was one of our favorites," he said. "But No Bull never really seemed to catch on. We're looking forward to seeing what is next in that building."

The restaurant finished off the week with live music from Joal Rush as it celebrated a decade as a community along Ashley River Road.
