"After the closing of Cane Rhum Bar & Caribbean Kitchen in 2020, three Citadel alums decided to take over the 251 East Bay Street building and turn it back into Big John’s Tavern. When Christopher Houston, Scotty Sheriff, and Darren Bradley noticed Cane moving out, they inquired about purchasing the building. The three spent the past year and a half renovating the space to resemble the former Big John’s. The classic red leather stools are back, but the team made the space more sophisticated with less dive-y touches from the former version — the dusty posters and bras hanging from the ceiling did not make a comeback." - Erin Perkins
