We like being first here in Spartanburg, especially when it comes to downtown development, and this week the City's Design Review Board gave their stamp of approval to a concept that's the first of its kind in South Carolina. FR8 Yard, an outdoor craft beer and restaurant space, is set to transform an empty downtown lot into a hub of activity. Located beside Sparkle City Mini Putt, FR8 Yard will also include games like bocce ball and ping pong, and will feature a stage for live music and a large projector screen for live sporting events.
