Greenville's Wu's Cajun Seafood closes doors

It took seven months to open Wu's Cajun Seafood, and it took seven months to close the downtown Greenville restaurant as well.

The Cajun-Asian fusion concept from The Bottle Cap Group served its last meal Sunday, confirmed Bottle Cap Group marketing director Morgan Conroy. The restaurant is now closed, she said.

Wu's opened in December of last year, with a menu that fused Asian and Cajun flavors. Dishes included Gumbo Ramen, Kung Pao cauliflower and seafood boils.

Conroy said the decision to close stemmed from the fact that Wu's just "wasn't the right fit for our mold."

"We're more of an alcohol-centric restaurant group," she said. "And the numbers just didn't measure up to what our current concepts do."

Bottle Cap owns 16 concepts, Conroy said. Those include three in Greenville - Ink N Ivy, SIP Whiskey & Wine, and Vine Nightclub. Brazwell's Premium Pub and Diner 24 both closed last year, and Green Room Restaurant & Bar, which Bottle Cap acquired and retooled, also closed in 2017.

There is no word yet on what might fill the Wu's space, but it will likely sit empty for the time being, Conroy said. Bottle Cap just opened Rosemont Bar in the space that once housed the Charlotte, North Carolina location of Wu's. That Wu's closed in March.

Some of the favorite Wu's dishes will be added to the Ink N Ivy menu later this summer, Conroy said. Staff have been offered positions at other Bottle Cap concepts, she added.
