Charleston’s Fuel Cantina to Shut Down After 15-Year Run
After 15 years serving the Charleston community, Fuel Cantina, a local favorite, is closing down. The pub served dishes with Caribbean flair, but its biggest draw was the unique setting, a 1950s gas station transformed into a restaurant with a spacious patio. The menu includes shrimp, braised pork, and fish tacos.
In an Instagram post, the restaurant shared, “After more than 15 incredible years serving the Charleston community, the time has come for us to say farewell. Our final day of service will be Saturday, December 20.”
In the post, the restaurant stated, “There’s never an easy or convenient moment to close a restaurant, but we’re ready to turn the page and embrace a new chapter.”
