“I am a Greensboro fan with so many good local eateries to choose from. Freemason Grub & Pub is no exception.The signage is challenging in the dark, but the exterior green lights likely leftover from St. Patty's helped identify them. It's an adorable two story brick with wonderful character. Parking is off street or in their own small lot in the rear.My wife and I cut our arrival a bit close after 830 with a weekday closure of 9. The interior offers a cozy vibe with wood floors, exposed brick and dimly lit dining room . The bourbon bar is the centerpiece. With closing in 20 minutes the restaurant was mostly empty.Our friendly waitress Bella was on top of drink orders. I ordered an Old Fashioned utilizing Makers bourbon with a banana flavor profile. It proved to be outstanding @ $14. Bella encouraged us to try their bbq which they are known for, we ended up both getting the Cherrywood Brisket. My wife with side of Cesar and me side of cup of chili for $1 up charge. The recommendations really made the difference.Bella brought the food out within 15 minutes. Temperatures were correct. The brisket was magnificent. Tender with fat to meat ratio. The house sauce was perfect with a slight kick. The cup of chili was yum with Navy Bean and frito corn chips on top that was unusual. My wife agreed with my assessment on the brisket and her salad was fresh.We finished out splitting a butterfinger pie which was good size for the share. It proved to be mighty tasty and not a crumb was left.Our bill was brought to us in a timely fashion to close out. Since we were out of town Bella suggested a few other local places. I would recommend Freemason and who knows may return this week.Parking: Parking in rear“

“The Irish coffee, bacon board, and bacon egg and cheese sandwich were so good. The rest of the party enjoyed their meals as well, like the biscuits and gravy and french toast. We were there for Sunday Brunch for our Mom's birthday. The hosts were very friendly, and so was our waitress, whose name I can't remember; sorry.Will give you a heads up and say that they ONLY serve soft drinks, water, and alcohol. They do not have tea; sweet or unsweetened. They also don't have ketchup, but the dip they give you for your fries is really good, and you won't miss not having the ketchup.Will definitely go back given the chance. Thank you all for a great time.“

You walk in to a welcoming and friendly setting with a personal feel, that leaves you with the desire to come back every weekend. These guys not only put an immense amount of thought into their menu, but also their delivery of service. P“

“Was in town for one night and a day and a half. Stopped by this Tavern on the way out. Atmosphere was really nice... but I kind of wish the chairs were shorter. It's like climbing up a steep ladder, lol. But other than that, really enjoyed the way it was decorated. The service was super nice, helpful and timely. The food was so good! The French dip was packed with tender meat and the roll was soft, could of been toasted more, but delicious nonetheless. The Aus jus was seasoned to perfection. The steak fries were huge and lightly seasoned. Definitely recommend and would visit again when I'm back in town!“

There are two options the Lao & Bartender's choice. All three were great but be warned, the left two were spicy! the right green one was my favorite. It was delicious! I was only peckish, so I just got the money bags, which are just Crab Rangoon's. Very tasty. The service was great and it's was could be a romantic experience for couples. I wonder if they turn off the main lights later at night.. it would look pretty cool in there.“

Cocktail Cove Bar •
115 W McGee St, Greensboro

“Now cocktail cove is very small and you don't know unless you know. It's not something that you can see from the corner of the street with big lights, but if you know where you're going it's a really good area to be in. It's very small but I guess you could call it intimate. It's more of a speakeasy kind of eye. If you read my reviews you know that this is definitely my kind of thing. They have an inside and an outside area, the bar area has seats in it and then it has a couple of sitting areas there. Literally a couple. And then they have outside seating which is still covered. They have seats and cushions so you can be comfortable. The bartender was super cool, gave us a little history lesson and everything. I really had no complaints about that, he was spot-on. I ordered a Mai Tai, and it was actually pretty good. I really have no complaints about that, the drink is really savory. This type of spot isn't the kind of spot that you would probably solely go to as far as your nightly and text, but if it was a stop on your list, this will be a good place to stop at. Or if you were just going for date night, this would be a great place to go because it's so intimate and quiet.“

“I can not rave enough and say enough good things about Mario and his Espresso Martinis! I have had many an espresso martini, and have had many in the triad people “claim” are “the best”. Well in my opinion, Mario’s Espresso Martinis are THE BEST in the triad!!! They’re smooth, delicious, dark (none these creamy, light, bullcrap), and the game changer for me, is that he gets the foam on the top PERFECT and it STAYS the whole drink it doesn’t dissipate at all. Mario himself also just will make your experience here a fantastic one! He’s so personable and his customer service is also as top notch as his Espresso Martinis! Can’t say enough good things! I have a Dram location closer to me in Winston, but I will drive to the Greensboro one, about 50 min from my house to get Mario’s customer service and Espresso Martinis over anywhere closer to me if I have the choice!“

Westerwood Tavern Bar • $
508 Guilford Ave, Greensboro

“Westerwood has held a place in my heart for about 13 years. This homey dive always feels like a welcoming spot. While I no longer live in the area, so you couldn't call me a regular anymore, I still love Westerwood. Here you can find friendly bartenders who feel like friends. A variety of draft beers, affordable liquor pricing, and a cooler of cans & bottles. It's very likely you'll be able to find something that hit the drink itch you might have. Over the years it's gotten brighter and cleaner inside but it's still that perfect homey drive. If you're in GSO looking for a bar to call home, don't skip over Westerwood. Currently (Sept 3rd 2023): Tuesday (9 pm - 12 am) and Friday (11 pm - 2 am) is Karaoke Wednesday (10 pm to 12 am) is trivia Thursday $4 any shot and free pool P.S. Dogs are welcome inside and out.“

“My husband and I had a awesome time Junior from the Steve Harvey show was awesome. Just went to another show with Coca Brown she was awesome. The only thing I didn't appreciate is being asked if two other people could sit at our table and we purchased food and drinks that should be a choice not something mandatory. And these comedians that come there they honestly have nasty attitudes about taking a picture etc unless they can make money off of it then it's beneficial to them. Now we purchase tickets patronizing and we all in a recession money is tight remember celebrities you didn't make it by yourself we helped get you were you at .I don't like having to sit with people that I don't know and the fact that they don't even ask. The management is poor in my opinion and greedy.“

“Went for lunch so take that with a grain of salt. We ordered tossed tenders/sweet potato fries and the French dip/side salad. Fries were hot and good. Daughter said the tenders were great. The side salad was green leafy and not just iceberg and the ranch was homemade so I enjoyed the salad. French dip is my go to at many places. This one was a tad salty, but still enjoyable. Service was good and friendly.“

“Located as the centerpiece of the three best bars not located in downtown Greensboro, all locked together like disfunctional conjoined twins on the corner of the intersection of Elam Ave. and Walker Ave. this is another great watering hole for people who want to be where everybody knows your name (whether you like it or not). But it is like its own little city within the city and the patrons and local residents are like on big family and it is a place that I feel at home in. So if you feel like you are a square peg trying to find into a round hole out there in the other nightlife and social haunts out in the city of lights, ce join us scalawags over here in the corner of misfit toys. You will likely fit right in. Great prices and a great staff ready to facilitate your alcoholic tendencies with a joke and a smile.“

I love that there are dog park attendants in addition to the bartender. Definitely not the case at other dog park/pubs I've been to. They are strict about your dog being up-to-date on vaccines (which is awesome), the water is always clean, and the whole place overall is just super clean and nice. They also have spray bottles out to correct bad behavior. Also plenty of seating outside so you can actually hang out while the dogs are playing.“

“One of the kindest business owners in the Boro.This guy supports locals, and hosts townies!Clean up the butts that lazy locals can't find a bin for the win, is my only gripe ;)Tips,Local, live music or small - mid range touring musicians and bands always bring in more $ and diverse crowds. Acoustic acts and check into the neighborhood sound ordinace. Utilize the shared driveway and say hello to the friendlies @Parts Unknown and @The bicycle storeI know the Greensboro music sceneOr did... Before I left west for Colorado for 7 years. That being said, post-party via The Blind Tiger, beat out Suds, share time with the Westwoods and say hello to the folks that could be pulled over from Common Grounds! Host open mics weekly, and bring in a deejay to spin at the pop up markets would be huge! Daniel did an Awesome job hosting all varieties, ethnicities and genders of local artists! Big win.Bartenders are lovely, space has a ton of character & characters. Bathrooms just need to be tended to and all that trash in between the building and the fence needs to be cleaned out. Dirty jobs call for diligent pre work employees...My other tip is for the locals.Clean up after yourselves!!!This is a communityAnd a bar!Don't trash it with poor mood changes on the touch tunes, improve it with a few smiles:Finally,"Be localBe GreenBe Boro'... And GET a taglineIe: Sundaze at SundriesOrPop Over The Hill (for the monthly Art Market)Plant a few plants for spring... And you lose the dinge and stigma of a "dive bar" with affordable atmosphere.
