A French restaurant from local chefs Andy Ticer and Michael Hudman is closing this week to make way for a new concept.
According to a Facebook post from Bishop, which opened in 2019 in the Central Station Hotel, the eatery will serve its final meal on Sunday, July 7th, 2024.
“Though it’s bittersweet to close Bishop, we’re pumped about evolving our world-class dining and cocktail programs with an awesome new concept,” said McLean Wilson, Principal at Kemmons Wilson Companies, which partnered with Henry Turley Company on the hotel. “Huge thanks to Andy Ticer, Michael Hudman, the South Main Arts District, and all of Memphis for the love and support. Your encouragement fuels our journey into this next chapter.”
A French brasserie-inspired restaurant with southern influence, Bishop is known for its French-forward menu, offering breakfast, brunch, and dinner, along with a variety of cocktails and wines.
Although details about the forthcoming restaurant are currently limited, The Daily Memphian reports that it will be “an affordable and approachable addition to the hotel’s amenities.”
Additionally, it will complement Central Station’s bar and lounge, Eight & Sand, which houses a “one-of-a-kind, Memphis-inspired vinyl record collection” and boasts the “best-sounding music room in town.”
The new dining concept is scheduled to open sometime this fall at 545 S Main St #111 in Downtown Memphis.
