Beer lovers in the University City area are about to get another 100-plus tap option, with a second Taco Mac location set to open with a VIP party on Monday.
The Georgia-based chain already has one location in town, in Piedmont Row near SouthPark. The second location is in the old Texas Land & Cattle Steakhouse at 517 University Center Boulevard, off West W.T. Harris Boulevard.
The owners say it will have more than 70 high-definition TVs and a patio with room for 80 customers. In addition to the 100 taps, the Taco Mac will also feature 200 bottled beers.
The new Taco Mac will be just over a mile from beer juggernaut The Flying Saucer, another chain that's made having a ridiculously big beer selection and a loyalty program (UFO Club at The Flying Saucer, Brewniversity at Taco Mac) a centerpiece of their business.
But with a large college nearby, the owners are probably betting there are enough beer enthusiasts to support both.
