Bartenders are always cool and welcoming but most importantly the drinks are great. Their cocktail menu has great options and theres something for everyone, even beer! I would say it's in a great spot in downtown Winston since it's across from Bailey Park and other local businesses, but be mindful that you have to find parking (parking decks are close by and you can parallel park near the area).

I would recommend spending a few extra dollars and going to a bar that takes customer safety more…read moreseriously. In my experience, this wasn't a place where I felt safe. My husband was assaulted inside the bar, and the people responsible left before police arrived. To make matters worse, we were told the cameras only livestream and do not record, which was incredibly frustrating because it meant there was no recorded footage available to help identify the people involved. Everyone deserves to enjoy a night out without worrying about their safety. Based on our experience, I would choose a bar with better security measures and recorded surveillance instead.

We had 35 guests. The room had just the right amount of seating for groups of people to visit with each other comfortably. The restroom was conveniently upstairs. We had two bartenders taking GREAT CARE of us the entire time! I really cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was at Joyner's Bar! If we put on another social gathering, we will definitely rent their space and order their catering again. The open bar was a nice touch everyone appreciated! MOST SINCERELY!

Well Village Square tap house, it is a bar but it's a dang good place to hang out with friends. I…read morethink every weekend they have a live band either on Friday or Saturday night but we went to their Halloween party last week. LevelXperience was playing, which is an all-girls band and they were awesome! But they have two bars for service because they had recently bought the area beside them and now it's full of arcade games which are pretty fun as an adult after you've been drinking a bit. On one side they do have adult slushies. They have added more bathrooms and more pool tables, if you enter on the arcade side and they have a band you will need to pay an entrance fee. There's a local Dart group that competes each week and I know they have Super Bowl parties which includes food and prizes. The funny thing is, I asked the bartender on the arcade if they have Red Stripe, she said Yes, of course, it's been awhile since I've heard it called that!." Now she looked to be 24-28ish and bless her heart- she handed me a PBR. I looked at the bottle and was going to say something but hey, of course we all know PBR does have a red stripe in the label. But nonetheless, good prices and fun times. Plenty of people to sing along and dance with or play a round of pool. The Green Tea shots here are the best I've had anywhere. Plenty of parking and you are basically 10 feet away from the late night Taco Bell menu to help absorb the alcohol. If you're looking for a a quiet spot for a few minutes away from the music, they have an outdoor area to the right of the building, it is accessible without going inside first. You will have to show ID or your wristband at every entrance and the place is large enough to host a birthday party, a Friendsgiving get together or GNO, there's a hotel close by in case you go for their New Years Eve PARTY. A few of my friends and I actually had a hilarius Christmas photo shoot at VS Taphouse about 10 years ago. So good try a new cocktail for fall and get your pinball game on-Saturday and Sunday they open at 12 noon if you just want to take the kids to play a few old school arcade games.

The staff are highly experienced in helping create a drink just for you based on your mood and time of year. I have always felt welcome and relaxed when walking in the door. The mixologists are attentive and skilled in their craft. Their drink menu changes with the season so the cocktails are always a new experience. They also have a really neat concept where you can pay for a locker and the bottle to store in there so you always have you own private stock for you and the boys when you show up! If you like speakeasy vibes then Trophy Room is a must visit in Winston-Salem!

We stopped in for a pre-dinner drink before a nice date night out down the street. We wanted a…read moreclassy, dimly lit speakeasy-adjacent vibe and this delivered on that to a tee. They have a fantastic whisky selection and it's a nice place to sit. I will say that their other cocktails though outside of just the whisky leaves a bit to be desired. I don't remember my cocktail but I remember thinking it was just okay, but my fiancé was happy with his Eagle Rare 10 year. We would stop in again for drink when in that area, but nothing to make a special trip for in my opinion unless you are looking for a true whisky bar. It is great at what it is, but don't expect a great variety.

I went with the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. Solid overall--good flavor and well cooked. I would've liked a little more heat, but it's clearly dialed in to be approachable for most people. Also had the pub chips, and those were excellent. Everyone else at the table was happy with their meals too, no weak spots. The environment hits a nice balance--family-friendly but still has that sports bar energy. Add in efficient service, and it's an easy spot to come back

Got to visit the Ramkat again recently for Somewhat Petty, a Tom Petty cover band out of Asheville…read more I really enjoy going to shows at the Ramkat. It's small, making for more intimate performances, but not too small, so they get some decent acts coming through. They offer a full bar with beer, mixed drinks and even THC seltzers. They've got some tables and seating, though you have to pay extra for the seating. Ramkat is located in a great part of town with several dining options, and breweries near by. There are paid lots for parking, but also plenty of free street parking if you arrive early enough.

Great small venue! I recently did generally admission for the Morgan Wade show. There were some…read moreissues with the sound equipment that produced some feedback for part of the show (not sure if that was due to the artist or the venue). However, the quality of the performance more than made up for it. There were a lot of specialty drinks available, but I just opted for some sodas. Service at the bar was friendly and they were making their way through the line quickly. The energy in the space was good and it seemed like a true music lover's haven. One challenge I had was that there didn't seem to be any seating options for general admission. Even offering a couple of off-to-the-side seats for a rest would be handy, since staying on your feet for a few hours straight can get a little tiring. Perhaps that was a possiblity and I missed it. There was seating in the VIP sections though and the price differential didn't seem too dramatic. Seriously, no bad view in the place due to the venue being so small. I'd absolutely recommend checking out a show here!

I actually found I liked this place much better for many reasons. Much more room as far as tables and bar area go. Great atmosphere and better service. Also come take a look at this bar... it's awesome! I love the wood they use throughout the restaurant and just the feel of the place is classy. You can get your sage and salt food here too plus they have a fantastic raw bar here. A terrific drinks menu and a pretty amazing wine list. Also take in the wine cellar when you walk in. Not many places in Winston have one like that. They have wine by the glass on the menu but ask for that wine list it's pretty nice. We got a bottle of the petit Syrah recommended by their wine guy who came and asked us what we wanted and came up with the bottle with our price point. This bottle will be in my to find list as it was really good and smooth and went with our meal so well. Not bad for the $70. We tried the bread service which comes with good butter, tapenade and a tomato Pesto. Loved the crunchy whole grain! Nice cornbread too and a white bread. Also the crunchy twice battered fries are a must! So they have several types of oysters, we went with four different ones out fantastic server Katherine talked about. These were all served on ice with cocktail sauce, hot sauce, lemon, mignonette and a hot mustard . Each one was so different. Loved each one and they were all kinda meaty. Even the smaller shell ones. They were shucked perfectly and we had little to do but dress them up and slurp them ! Most are North Carolina oysters and they have a nice variety. Enjoyed this course very much! They also have a skewers menu with some meat, fish and veggie options. This was fun to pick out ... we tried the octopus and the special of the day was the swordfish so that sounded really good. These were also another hit on the palate. The octopus was cooked well and I feel like they gave us a little extra :)... swordfish was so good, had a citrus marinade and pickled onions and an avocado mousse. Nice flaky fish. Loved these skewers. We rounded it all off with the caramel cheesecake which was of course awesome. Creamy, great crust, solid slice, with a caramel drizzle and citrus and mint on top. Couldn't ask for a better end. Well except for those espresso martinis! The Station was a total surprise and one I shall be returning to . They have live music on Friday and Saturday, would recommend reservations those nights. You have to call sage and salt for reservations... it's a little confusing as there isn't really a website for The station. Great meal our first time. you definitely taste the freshness.

Loved they had a great spot outside for seating too looking right over Bailey park so a great people watching place! Nice cocktail menu and with beer and wine too. I was impressed they had crème de cassis. They have a summer special where all spritz's are $12 so we decided to try the new summer one everyone is talking about, Hugo spritz. Elderflower liquor, mint, soda water and prosecco. It was nice and refreshing on a extremely hot day and I had then add lime juice as well. Spritz's are the way to go in the summer as you get more liquid !!! Service was good but I wish the place had more atmosphere. Even with World Cup going in there wasn't many people. I really like the place though and what they are trying to achieve. Nice place for pre dinner drinks.
