The real 1846 dining room with brick walls and hanging lights

Named for Greenville's founding year

Our Story

Rooted in Greenville

Texas hospitality. A new chapter.

1846 Restaurant takes its name from the year Greenville was founded. Our story is about the people around the table today: business lunches, dinner with friends and a family Sunday tradition in downtown Greenville.

Owned by James McSweeney, 1846 brings the restaurant and Ghost Town Speakeasy together. Upstairs 1846 Events is under development; opening and availability will be announced when approved.

Chef Oso Dupas, Executive Chef of 1846 Restaurant, in the kitchen

Born and raised in Houston, Texas, Chef Oso Dupas originally set out to pursue a career in medicine before discovering that his true calling was in the kitchen. That decision began a culinary journey spanning more than a decade, and it shaped the disciplined, creative approach he brings to 1846 Restaurant today.

At the heart of Chef Oso's philosophy is a simple principle: great food begins with great ingredients. He brings together his passion for live-fire cooking, scratch-made sauces, premium proteins and strong kitchen leadership to create food that is approachable, memorable and worthy of the 1846 experience.
