Within a year, Terry Davis and his family purchased, renovated and expanded the former Frontier Saloon in Charlotte.
The new Eaton Pub & Grill has an updated look, extensive patio space, a liquor license, a new menu and new kitchen.
“It’s more of a steakhouse than a bar,” says General Manager Terry Davis. “We are going for a nightlife atmosphere.”
The Davis family has owned the Eaton Place restaurant for 25 years. The restaurant is next door to the pub, so when Frontier Saloon went up for sale, the Davises were interested in rehabbing the property.
“It was just a new opportunity to offer people finer dining,” Davis says.
It was also an opportunity to attract a new clientele.
“We’ve had our growing pains, obviously, but we’ve never been in the liquor business before and that’s added a whole new customer base,” Davis says. “We’re seeing a lot of new faces. I would say things are going well.”
The Eaton Pub & Grill hosts large parties and employs 35-40 people. The Eaton Pub & Grill is located at 214 S. Cochran Ave. in Charlotte.
