    A great environment! Small, but quaint! The regulars welcome you in and the bartenders are super friendly.

    Good quiet little private bar. The prices are fair. Could use a good boost in ambiance but besides that I love it.

I love love love their Buffalo Trace Old Fashioned and I highly recommend asking for it smoked for the $1 up charge. Absolutely love the ambiance of this place and the staff were also very friendly and attentive. Will definitely come back to try more of their drinks!

    Amazing! This has officially become our go to cocktail lounge locally here in Greensboro…read more We had excellent cocktails, super fun service, and the ambiance was exactly what we wanted for an intimate and classy evening out. Our bartender, LT, was so much fun. Every drink was spot on. An espresso martini for my wife and a bold old fashioned for me. On top of that, LT clearly knows his stuff when it comes to both cocktails and bourbon knowledge. I added a 1oz neat pour of 12yr Weller. Let's just say this place is a Weller lover's dream. The owner is a huge Weller fan and keeps the lounge stocked with pretty much every bottle imaginable. Something that's nearly impossible to find in Greensboro. And then there's the showstopper: a Weller Millennium bottle sitting on display. At $600 for a 1oz pour, it's pure eye candy for me. I'll just admire it from one of the comfy couches or large chairs and keep my wallet happy. Whenever we're looking for a classy evening out in downtown Greensboro, Muddle will be our first stop every time.

I got the double smash patty burger Carolina style (slaw,chili, mustard, onion). Super messy but oh so good! Others in my group got a create your own with pulled pork and slaw and another person got the catfish special with mac and cheese. We also had the loaded tots and southern egg rolls as an appetizer. The food was exceptional except for one thing. Although the catfish crust was amazing and perfect texture, the catfish itself was really watery inside the breading. Other than that, it was all great! The loaded tots were also great. Forgot to take a pic BEFORE we started digging in but you can see the gist in the photo. They're so good! The southwestern egg rolls, although fantastic, are not like they are at most places. They have pulled pork and veggies with them and comes with a Thai chili sauce on the side. Just something to note. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was lively as always!

    We have been to Lockwood Tavern a few times now and each visit we have tried something new. We have…read moretried the smash burgers, the Cuban, the hot honey chicken sandwich (They tenderize and bread the chicken in house, which is amazing), the southern egg rolls, the pimento balls, and the list goes on. Up until our last visit everything has been delicious and we have not been disappointed once... Well this last visit I ordered the hot honey chicken sandwich again, (because it was so good the first time!), I don't know if they changed the chicken they use or what but the chicken had a snappy texture that no properly cooked chicken should ever have. I was immediately turned off and could not eat it. I'm hoping it was a one off experience and that next time will be better. All this said, we will be back again and hope for the best!

I also happened to be there for Music Bingo night, which was fun! As for the food, it was a bit of a mixed bag. The fries were great actually. Very crispy, well-seasoned, and exactly what you want with fries. Sadly, the chicken tenders, were a tad overdone and a little on the dry side. Their breading was good though. That being said, the vibes, the beer selection, and the entertainment are top-notch. I'll definitely be back for another round of Mango Cart since I know they serve it well!

On this weekday during happy hour, we had a bad experience unfortunately. Our server was amazing though! Giving her props for her friendly demeanor and great service. Drinks were also cold and refreshing. Where it turned sour: our Chef's Special appetizer plate. The mozzarella sticks were hollow. Not just thin, but completely hollow with no cheese, just an outer shell. The "beef" empanadas had no beef inside. Again, mainly hollow with only a little cheese inside. Overcooked and almost impossible to chew. They were also out of some pickled items that were supposed to be on the plate, and they substituted some old strawberries, which definitely did not complement anything on this plate. We were here for a full meal, but we stopped here and did not order our main courses. ***MOST IMPORTANTLY*** Some employees were engaging in activities inside the establishment, which are not conducive to a restaurant in any capacity. A call will be made to management and/or the owner(s). We're highly hopeful this is a one-off experience and these issues will be rectified going forward. We love this place. We've had amazing food and evenings out with friends and family here. We want to be back, and I would love to update this review in the near future.

    These ribs were absolutely outstanding, perfect cook. Came off the bone easy but didn't just straight up fall off.

    Well, this my third visit to Cooper's Hawk and I must say the wait time (even with a reservation…read moreeach time) is consistent--always an additional wait. Reservations are made for a reason, however, my time is leisurely when I dine out in the evening, so it's really no big deal to me. However, it would be greatly appreciated if guest's would receive brief check-ins --"we will get you seated shortly, we apologize for the inconvenience, etc. ) acknowledgment goes a long way--Just know this has been my experience for lunch, early, and now late dinner. Full transparency, I keep coming back for the calamari. To me, it is stellar! The first time I thought, where are the tentacles?!?? Is this truly calamari??? lol...it is, and it's PHENOMENAL Consistent every time. On this last visit I was very disappointed to be seated on the restaurant side of the house. It was loud, I was seated at a table, ugh! My preference is the bar side--so much more comfy , cozy, and a bit more intimate. I digress. As previously mentioned, it was late so I got the fave...the calamari, a pineappletini, and a salad. The salad was HUMUNGOUS! I had to take it home as I had already overindulged in the calamari. Our server checked in as much as he could, but I could tell he was over extended. Be back soon for the calamari and hopefully the booth seating on the bar side .

Great bang for your buck! Food is top notch. Their spaghetti was amazing 5/5, and their steak is beyond flavorful but definitely not worth the high markup. Please offer an adult sized steak, thank you! T-bone, porterhouse, nothing too crazy Their apps are the best though, and a good value for your experience. I'll go and order 4-5 apps easily, no need for the skimpy entrées. Service is great, staff is attentive, and all the Ts and I's are crossed and dotted. Clean, friendly, water is good and tea is fresh not spoiled. They have a stellar variety of wines, but I love their sweet collection. So much flavor and unique notes I don't find elsewhere too often. Food review will be in the photos listed!
