    Dram & Draught is absolutely our favorite cocktail bar in Greensboro! The space is small but inviting and in the summer it's so fun with their indoor/outdoor concept when they open the garage doors. The staff is also very attentive. As soon as we walk in the door we get menus and waters. My favorite part of this spot is that they have a rotating menu. They release new cocktails twice a year and they are always super creative (and created by local Dram & Draught bartenders) and delicious! I also love that they have the menu split out into different sections such as classics, seasonal, mocktails, and THC options. You'll also be hard pressed to find a liquor they don't carry. We will continue to visit Dram & Draught for pre and post dinner drinks!

    We enjoyed an Old Forester pour and mocktail on a sunny afternoon on the patio. Their selection of bourbon is extensive as seen in the video.

    It's always a vibe here and the bartenders apparently remember me even though it's been months! Haha! The drinks are always delicious and they have great specials daily except Saturdays.

    One of my favorite weekday happy hour haunts. Just enter, select a seasonal drink from the drink menu and enjoy. I have never made a bad choice. Service is quick and the servers make great recommendations. Seating area makes you feel like you are having a drink in your living room.

    A perfect location for some nice mixed cocktails and straight pours of drinks. They usually have a good Sunday special of a pour of their choosing. Very please with the type of service we receive here.

    I've been to Dram & Draught in Greensboro a few times and overall I like it but there's definitely room for improvement. Let's start with the good- The drinks are delicious. They have a wide variety of speciality cocktails and I've enjoyed every one I've had. One of my favorites is the mystery machine. They can also make mocktails which is nice! The outside patio is a great space in the summer. There is a small parking lot so parking isn't too tricky usually. They're also open until 2am which is nice because some bars close earlier. Now the not so good - I've been here about 5 or 6 times total and every time, the service has been EXTREMELY slow. I'm pretty lenient about slow service because I understand how busy and understaffed restaurants/bars can be but it can be really frustrating here. Tonight, I went with some of my friends for their Galentine's drink specials so I ordered an espresso martini flight. My friends arrived a few minutes after me so they placed their orders later but it took about 30-40 minutes for my friends to get their drinks. At one point, our waiter came back and asked if we needed anything but when my friend started to order a drink, our waiter said that they were behind and couldn't take orders right now. I've actually never heard of this happening at a bar before so I was a little shocked, especially because my friend hadn't gotten to order a cocktail yet but we had almost finished ours. Since the Galentine's drink specials had been advertised on their social media, I was a little surprised they wouldn't have more than 1 bartender. I also noticed an admin fee on my bill tonight. It was a small percentage but it's still frustrating to get charged random fees without knowing what they are for. I would definitely prefer servers to explain or point out charges like that on a bill so that customers are aware. I genuinely want this bar to stay around because I love the vibe and the variety of cocktails but I do hope they can address the service issue. I've been a few times over the last 1-2 years and the service has continuously been an issue. Other than that, it's a cool place to get a specialty cocktail.

    Believe it or not.  Great Jack

    Great selection of all things whisky including Scotch which is rare in the south. Helpful staff, including climbing those ladders to retrieve the top shelf. Also great cocktails. I went there on my first night at Market and was dismayed that I had to endure drag night. Not a fan. Had I known I would have went another night. Kinda creepy

    I finally got around to reviewing our local Dram & Draught. Over time they've really fixed up this particular location with a beautiful outdoor area and a comfortable indoor setting. I've had a wonderful experience the times I've gone for celebrations. The bartenders are great and the drinks are good. From old fashions to whatever you'd like, they got it! Over the spring and summer, their outdoor section is great. Plus they get live music from time to time!

    This place is awesome! If you want tasty, boozy, high-end ingredient cocktails with reasonable prices, this place is for you. The vibe inside is awesome, and the outside seating area has a ton of space. The service was quick, attentive, and professional. I can't say enough good things about this place - can't wait to come back!

    Yum!!!

    Another Yelp event where I felt comfortable and happy! It was a beautiful day to be outside. Dram & Draught offered both outdoor and inside seating. My coffee was absolutely amazing. The salted caramel crumbles had me scraping the cup! We had pastries from a local bakery. The almond croissant was delicious. Buttery, nutty, goodness with the soft flakiness of the croissant crust complimented my coffee selection perfectly! The bartender was very helpful. I was very confused as how everything worked and he was so patient with me. It was a beautiful day!!

    This is the only place I can go to for drinks that is consistent with their quality. It doesn't matter if you come to the location in Greensboro or the one in Durham. You never leave disappointed. The menu has seasonal options along with some of their standard drinks. It's perfect for a date and friends outing. They don't serve food so make sure you eat before you come or plan to got out for a bite afterwards. The servers are always friendly and knowledgeable about the items on their menu. I recommend this place to everyone!

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.

The dip is always so delicious - it's one of my favorite appetizers ever. The pita is really good too. I think they recently started adding cheese to it too which is good but not really necessary in my opinion. At first, they brought us pita that was really burnt but our waiter told us she requested a fresh batch without us even saying anything which I think is great service. I also tried their garlic parm boneless wings & they were so good. I loved how seasoned & salty they were, although they might be too salty for some people. I really loved it though! Their cocktail menu is also really interesting & creative. It's mostly whiskey of course but they do have other spirits. I tried the peanut butter & jelly Old fashioned and it was surprisingly delicious. It really did taste like a PB&J so I highly recommend. The inside is small but there's a nice outdoor seating area too. This really is one of my favorite places to get food in the area BUT the only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because anytime I've been there remotely close to closing, they definitely let you know & make you feel rushed. I'm not one to go to restaurants last minute when they're closing because I know how that can make it difficult for employees, but being somewhere 45 minutes before they close shouldn't warrant getting rushed. I've been there before just to have a few cocktails at the bar about 45 min before closing & had the same experience. I still really love this place & will keep going (but probably not within an hour or so of closing lol)

The grits texture was off, sausage was chopped into unrecognizable bits, and one shrimp wasn't cleaned properly (which was enough to end the party for me). The sauce had good flavor, but it couldn't save the dish. Mentioned it to our server--got an "oh, okay" and a walk-off. No follow-up, no fix. Tried to order the French toast sticks for dessert...still "in the oven." At that point, I had to laugh and ask is the oven on? The cook then offered to make an individual serving just for us. What??? To be fair, my significant other enjoyed his meal. But it just wasn't worth the drive from Winston-Salem. Really wanted to love it. Maybe I will try dinner. Cause this wasn't it.

I was lucky enough to spend some quality time with the owner Jocelyn and hearing her story about how Bitters came to be, made this place feel that much more special. These were some of the best drinks I've ever had. Hands down. Definitely check them out - it's a 2 story venue with indoor and outdoor seating and lots of cozy little corners to sit and explore their menu (which has a great selection of specialty drinks as well as some seasonal items).

There are no TVs, no loud chaos, it's intentionally designed for conversation. And we really leaned into that... we sat there for hours just talking, and it never felt rushed or transactional. What makes this place stand out is how thoughtful everything is. They have over 60 different bitters, and the drinks are completely handcrafted and customizable. Ours were made by Jacob, and you can tell there's real skill and care behind what they're doing. not just pouring drinks, but creating something tailored to you. But honestly, the highlight for me wasn't even the drinks, although I admit, the drinks were absolutely incredible, but it was the people! I will tell you that I've tried old fashioned several times and never ever liked them. This was the first time in my entire life I've ever actually enjoyed an old fashioned, and ordered another one, on purpose! Get the pawpaws Pepsi. 10/10 We got to meet the owner, Jocelyn, and her partner Brian, and that completely changed the experience. Jocelyn is a real survivor. She's been through things that could've & should have, easily shut this place down or broken her, but instead, she built something meaningful out of it. She's a survivor in every sense of the word. You can feel that resilience in the space. it's not just a business, it's personal. Brian has been a strong, steady support system behind the scenes. Learning more about their story made everything feel more intentional and real, not just another trendy concept. Another thing people don't realize, this place is also a retail spot for home bartenders, with locally sourced mixers, syrups, and unique ingredients you won't find everywhere. It's part lounge, part community space, part educational experience. It's also dog-friendly, cozy, and set up in a way that actually makes you want to stay awhile and connect, whether that's with the people you came with or the people you meet there. Bitters isn't for people looking for a loud, quick night out. It's for people who appreciate good conversation, intentional drinks, and a deeper story behind where they're spending their time. And once you understand that... it hits different.

I wish I could say that it was worth the wait, but my experience here suggested otherwise. Positives first: Noor is both spacious and stylish with plenty of seating in both the bar and dining areas. Sujan proved to be an attentive and courteous server. That said, the buffet was somewhat underwhelming. It was smaller than those I've found elsewhere in the area. While it offered a solid mix of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, those offerings were the epitome of playing it safe. Only the hakka noodles (not always an Indian buffet staple) and butter chicken (better than average) really stood out. Nothing else, from the tandoori chicken to the daal to the naan, was prepared poorly, but it was fairly forgettable. Granted, buffet food needs to appeal to a wide range of diners with varying levels of spice tolerance, and so I went in not expecting any heat. Take spiciness out of the equation, however, and the flavors still felt subdued. At least the $20 seemed reasonable for what was offered. It's possible that Noor really shines if you order off the regular menu, and so I wouldn't rule out a return here. The next time I want a weekend lunch buffet, however, I think I'll stick to Taaza.

The cocktails are consistently excellent. You can tell the bartender really cares about what they're making and you can ask for modification and they will give them to you. Everything is balanced, creative, and thoughtfully put together. Whether you order something from the menu or ask for a classic, it's always spot on. The prices are great for the quality, usually $15-$20 for a cocktail, which feels completely fair for craft drinks like these. One of my favorite details is the playlist. It's always so good -- a mix of current hits and those deep cuts you forgot you loved, and it somehow always fits the vibe perfectly. It is in downtown Greensboro, so be prepared for parking as it is not nearby. Great drinks, great music, candles glowing, and it's the kind of place that makes you want to stay for just one more round. I'll visit again soon.

It was a theater night when we went and we had a 7.30 show to goto and our server knew that. We got there at 5.30 so figured that gave us the 10 mins to walk to the theater to be on time. We started off with some drinks. My friend loved her cherry ale and I really enjoyed my G&T , the glass it came in was just so unusual. The G&T took awhile to finally make it to me but i loved it. We ordered the tuna tartare and that was delicious and served up with fried green tomatoes which was a different take on it. Nice and fresh and nicely presented. Our entrees were the salmon for my friend and I had the Bahn mi chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries. Usually this sandwich is with pork so I wanted to try this.

It was closing in on 6.50 Pm and at this point we would be inhaling our food when it came and rushing out the door . It came at 7pm and the sandwich was good but they should mention on the menu that it has mayonnaise on it as I don't like that but there was quite a bit on the bun. Not typically in this type of sandwich so I wasn't expecting it. The chicken was a good and flavorful and lots of other veggie fillings and the fries were great. My friend really enjoyed her salmon and the risotto it came with. Just disappointed we had to eat it all so quickly and leave some so we could pay and leave. We had our eye on the lemon posset tart for dessert but we didn't have time . We just thought since the server knew we had theater tickets she would have been more on top of it. Yes they were busy as it was a show night but the place wasn't totally full. Seemed like no urgency when we asked how long the food would be as we had to leave soon. I'd maybe try this place again on a non show night, as I thought they had a great menu. I enjoyed the place just not the service as we barely made the show before the lights went down.

    We had such a great experience at Pura Vida in downtown Greensboro!…read more The atmosphere alone is worth the visit--the UV lighting and murals create a really fun, immersive vibe that makes it feel like a nighttime experience even during the day. Service was friendly and helpful, and our food came out in a timely manner. For drinks, we tried a few margaritas (peach passionfruit and mango), which were both flavorful and nicely sized. I had the "Spicy Influencer," and while I wasn't a fan of the color, the taste was well-balanced with just a mild jalapeño kick. For food: * The lamb chops were a hit--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. * The beef ribs were a great portion and very well seasoned. * The appetizers (empanada and calamari) were also enjoyable. * I ordered the bandeja paisa, and it was easily the standout dish. The portion was generous, and everything on the plate--from the chicharrón to the steak--was flavorful and satisfying. Overall, this was a really enjoyable experience with great food, a fun atmosphere, and solid service. I would definitely return and recommend it to others.

    A nice little fun spot downtown…read more Pros Prime location Great variety on menu Good food Plenty of cocktail options Beautiful restaurant Various types of seating Nice staff Food served quickly Cons Difficult downtown parking Some dishes needed a little more seasoning All food comes out at once I came with a friend from out of town. The mashed potatoes were bland but the lamb chops were flavorful and cooked well. The shrimp and lobster were a little overcooked. The sushi was different and really good.
