Inside
Tonya M.

We came here since it was right beside of hoots and just happened to see it Nextdoor. It was a cute spot with outdoor seating and an outdoor bar. It wasn't open when we went, but being December and pretty cold outside that was understandable. Inside is very cute and has a New Orleans vibe. They had a full bar and beer in draft and bottles. Bartenders were super nice.

Hence not tried their food yet but this was the second time we visited this venue. Bobby was freaking fantastic serving everyone in the building. I noticed two other people cleaning up but he did all the drinks with NO HELP! Dude was sweating like crazy with a smile on his face! He made our drinks each time perfectly! We also enjoyed the entertainment of Megan Doss and Alex Ottaway. We will follow them anywhere they sing!! The venue is super cute and well decorated. Their drinks are creative also.

White Margarita

Love the New Orleans vibes. Always have NOLA staples + seasonal cocktails. Fun events as well. Check it out after dinner at the Porch!

Hurricane

One of my favorite bars to visit when I'm in Winston. It's a neat little New Orleans themed Tap House and Venue.

Old Fashioned & Swamp Water
Tracy W.

Stopped here for a nightcap. I love the location and the staff is always a lot of fun and friendly. They also have great music, which makes me happy and different games you can play such as putt-putt, Jenga, checkers, etc. I also noticed they offer pizza which is newer since the last time I was there at the end of last year.

Sunday special

Too many good things happening but I'll try to hit the 5 star highlights. Service- some of THE nicest and most accommodating bar tenders we have encountered. Always great attitude, amazing customer service- not sure how they do it day in and out but they do. Hats off. Great vibe. Chill inside with the AC In Summer if you need to. Sit outside In Their beautiful outdoor area if it's not too hot- Lots of shade! Ping pong back and forth as weather dictates- up to you. Enjoy pool or a table board game inside. Dog friendly- tons of well behaved doggos lounging inside. Drinks- wow. They know craft beer. Follow them on untapped. If you are a liquor drinker they have those too- frozen or on the rocks complete with plastic alligators. And drink specials- whoa- some of the BEST in WS really unheard of In these LGB times . No food - but you can easily carry in from West End Poke, Hops or order online from The Porch literally 5 steps away- they also offer various food trucks so follow follow follow on social media and support them. Love BN- we are becoming super fans quickly and for good reason.

I don't know much about New Orleans culture, but seemed pretty authentic. It was definitely fun! The inside looks great. We went on a Sunday afternoon and they had live music in the middle of the day. While it was a little loud inside for a Sunday funday hang out, the band was great. For drinks I had a couple beers and my wife went In for a mixed drink. The beer choices were pretty diverse and included plenty of local brews along with some Nola craft beer. My wife's came with an alligator in it! We noticed a basket later where people were throwing the plastic gators in like mixed drink gator basketball. Fun stuff. I can't wait to go back and try a sazarec. They didn't have food, but it's next door to the Porch for a meal. Overall great new place in Winston and I can't wait to get back!

Hurricane and VooDoo Daiquiri
Rena H.

This is a great New Orleans themed bar! It's just what Winston-Salem needed to add to the bar scene. We stopped in on a Friday night. There wasn't any seating available, but we found a cocktail barrel table to stand at, and it worked just fine. We ordered a Hurricane and a VooDoo Punch. Both were delicious! I wasn't expecting the punch to be frozen but I still enjoyed it. Next time I'll go for the Swamp Water so I can get the alligator in my drink! I think that's so fun. The decor is perfect. They really did the theming right! There's also beers on draft and other drinks in cans available in case you aren't in the mood for a signature drink. I highly recommend you stop in. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is space which I realize they don't have much control over, but some extra tables and seating in general would be really nice for peak hours. Nicely done, Bar Nola!

Katlyn C.

Yes. Yes. Yes. This was the kind of place we wish we knew about when we had friends come visit. So chill, so fun, great music, even better beer. My husband chatted with the owner some and he was a genuine guy. We really look forward to coming back here! (Plus we had our baby and people weren't weird about it)

At the bar
Meena P.

Very cool vibe at this new Bar in town, nice huge space, very much capturing the New Orleans bar look. Great bar area, and plenty of seating around the space, all spaced well apart. Great chalk board menu board of specials and cocktails. They have a great selection of beers and wine, and a full bar. Owned by a husband and wife team, I think they've done a fabulous job of introducing something new and in a great area, where there wasn't anything like this. The husband was tending bar the night we went, and is a great super friendly guy. I wish them all the success with this venture! My friend had a couple of vodka sodas, and I had a gin and tonic, not bad prices too. No food here it's strictly a bar, but The porch is across the way which is where we headed after. The music was also great here I have to say, huge variety of different stuff. Also impressed with how clean it was. Very important! Will definitely be back here and I hope you all go check it out. Nice new spot to hang out or just grab a drink. Bar Nola welcome to Winston!

Sangria fizz and Hurricane
Elizabeth R.

This place has a lot of hype. You will be sorely disappointed if you expect to feel like you are in New Orleans except for the singular wall with a NOLA mural and menu of drinks. The sangria fizz was good for a one drink limit but too much with more than one. I was told the Hurricane is incredibly sweet. There was a live band the night we were there which was overwhelmingly loud and led to tons of shouting and sore throats by the end of the night. The staff was good and the bouncer necessary later in the night. Try it out and make your own decision.

Mikaela B.

Such a fun vibe here!! I am a lover of all things N'awlins related, so having a place like Bar Nola right here in the Triad is a dream! The drinks really are New Orleans themed and they execute it in a really fun way. The Swamp Water, one of the signature drinks, is served up with a little plastic gator! They actually have a net hanging from the ceiling where you can aim to toss your gator! Tipsy me landed a nothing but net shot, miraculously! There are so many bars in Winston, but I truly think Bar Nola has such a unique, fun concept that sets them apart!

The views from the arena are a stunning backdrop for any bride and groom wanting have an outdoor ceremony. Inside the barn there are three defined spaces. The foyer with its high ceilings and comfy furniture welcoming you inside. This is also where the restrooms are located. They have two newly constructed restrooms with multiple stalls in addition to the two original ones. The venue provides tables and chairs and table coverings for your event. There's a built in rustic bar in the corner of the main event space where clients can have a hired bartender serving drinks of their choice. The facilities are set up for a catering company to bring in the food of the clients choice or your band/DJ to unload easily with large rolling door access on either end of the barn. I visited in February so the trees were bare but I can only imagine how gorgeous the space looks in the spring, summer and fall. We were told they host smaller meetings there being able to block off spaces for a more intimate feel or can seat up to 1500 utilizing the whole space.

Amazing and beautiful! Had a surprise birthday party for my brother and it was perfect! If looking…read morefor a surprise property this is the location.

Chosen family- John has been family to the brides side since before she was born. We arrived at 3pm on a cool, fall Saturday in November. The grounds beg to be explored, the history of the house has secrets in her stairwells and rooms. The architecture breathtaking. We waited by the koi pond until it was time to take our seats in the lower garden for the ceremony. Cocktail hour was outside as well and the temperature was dropping. We couldn't wait to get inside for dinner. Well- it wasn't much warmer indoors. The dining area was split between two rooms, one of which was a sun room- all glass doors around the room. The interior room had a giant fireplace blazing in the center. We sat in the outer room- my shawl stayed on throughout dinner. I wore fleece leggings under my gown because I am always cold, but even that wasn't enough. The staff! They wowed me- from escorting guest to the powder rooms (clear on the other side of the house), to the bartenders making drinks the whole night, to the servers working our side of the dining room. Every member of the staff was beyond helpful and friendly. Amanda and Katherine worked the bar & were fantastic! And the servers I encountered all hustled while helping the guests- Christian, Dylan & Kelton were on our dining room team. Special shout out to all of them, they made a great impression. Food- fresh salad and warm dinner rolls were set down first. Wine glasses filled & water glass too. John and I both opted for steak as our main- cooked perfectly and I know that's not easy when catering an event. The whipped potatoes and green beans perfection. The table were set beautifully. The dance floor was in the pool room, the put the floor down right over it! Which was comical because of the bounce in the floors once the dancing began. Being cold the whole time, I couldn't wait for the dj to turn it up. They had the doors open for the dance floor room leading out to the lower gardens where the nuptials were earlier. At this point the sun had set and all of the guest were cold. That was my only complaint- we needed heat for cocktail hour and definitely heat for dinner. Once the dancing began, I warmed up quickly & even had to take 10 outside, without my shawl, to cool down! The festivities were to go on till 10:30pm, but some of us more seasoned guests departed before that. I really hope to come back and explore the estate in the future.

The most beautiful hotel of North Carolina! Definitely worth a trip out to Winston-Salem to pay the…read moreGraylyn Estate a visit.

This hotel is located in the heart of downtown inside the original RJR building. The front desk staff are all professional, friendly and kind, each encounter with desk staff was exceptional. Valet parking is the only real option, unless you want to drive around looking for a limited parking spot. All of the valet team are professional, courteous and timely each went above and beyond for us. Very comfortable accommodations. We stayed in a king room the first time for a weekend and a king suite for the weeks stay. Both are comfortable, the suite's size and separate seating area definitely make it worth the difference if your stay is extended. King bed, very comfortable, quality linens, very quiet soundproofing with high ceilings and heavy drapery with modern minimalist wall decor. The bathrooms in both are nice the suite, another level of comfort. Walk in large shower with a vessel tub within the shower enclosure. This hotel is one of the higher end in town, it trys to hit those marks. Better than most. 4 Stars rounded up a full star for the steller staff here from the front desk, to valet team, housekeeping and room service everyone makes your stay here better. 01150

It's decorated super cute and they have a fun menu of sweet and savory offerings and specialty drinks.

Both were hot and tasty and delivered with a smile.

From what I gathered (pun intended), Gathering Grace is a catering company and event space, and the pop-up cafe is serving as a fundraiser for employment opportunities for folks with disabilities. It's nice feeling like your support is going to a good cause! The ladies working inside were so friendly and helpful, and I loved their energy. The space was decorated to the fall theme, and there was even a cute photo area. I tried the iced Pecan Pie Latte, and it was delicious. A little bit sweeter than I usually like my coffees, but yummy nonetheless. I also opted for the $5 fill-a-bag option so I got to try samples of a variety of their treats - my favorite was the Halloween brownie and the biscoff rice krispy. I highly recommend checking Gathering Grace out during their pop-up and supporting them in the future as well.
