Duckworth’s new SouthPark location now open

The new Duckworth’s and The Loft will be where Taco Mac used to be: 4625 Piedmont Row Dr. The Duckworth’s will offer the same menu options as its five other locations. 

What to expect: At 12,400 square feet, there are about bout 210 seats downstairs, not including the outdoor patio.

• There are about 40 TVs mounted across the restaurant, facing all directions.

Hours: This week, Duckworth’s will be open 4-11pm Wednesday, 4-midnight Thursday and Friday, 11am-midnight on Saturday, 11am-11pm Sundays.

• In the coming weeks, they’ll increase their hours to include lunch, and eventually, they’ll open every day for lunch and dinner.

Why it matters: The original Duckworth’s in Park Road closed in 2019, after being open for more than a decade. It was one of the top destinations on Montford for years, as one of the first restaurants in the city to offer a wall full of beer taps.

• Since opening that first location in 2004, Duckworth expanded his portfolio to include a speakeasy-type bar in the basement of the Uptown Duckworth’s, and the bar/restaurant Link & Pin.

What’s next: A new cocktail bar called The Loft at Duckworth’s, will open in the same Piedmont Row building at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.
