Great evening at Boots and Bourbon!…read more First off, huge shout out to Autumn behind the bar! She made the best smoked old fashioned just the way I like it, not sweet with a little punch. It was perfect. And smoking it in house adds that extra flavor to bring it over the top. Went with some wings and a spicy smashburger accompanied by their in house chips. Wings came out hot and fresh. Smashburger was great, juicy meat with depth of flavor. Only thing that would have made this burger even better would have been the crispy char edges of the smashed meat for that unique smashed taste. But even without it, this was a heck of a burger. And the fresh homemade chips were perfect with it. Super fun spot on either a slower day, or come when they have their live music, line dancing or any other fun event that they host regularly.

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)

I got a Vesper which ended up being $20-not a great price point but considering the drink, I would say it's about average at that price point. It was a new lineup of bartenders since I'd last been but I'm happy to report they're still making top quality cocktails.

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.

If you've never been, the tasting is a fantastic experience. You receive a complimentary tasting glass to take home and get to sample their handcrafted vodka, gin, and whiskey while learning about the distilling process. It's a great value and a fun way to discover your favorites. The Summer Lemonade Stand and seasonal cocktail menu (Christmas time eggnog) are absolute standouts. The cocktails are creative, refreshing, and perfectly crafted, making every visit feel unique. Bill and Andrew truly know what they're doing. Their knowledge, passion, and genuine enthusiasm for craft spirits make the experience even better. Whether you're stopping in for a tasting, enjoying cocktails with friends, or picking up a bottle to take home, you'll leave impressed a great addition to Downtown Greensboro South End Area.

So parking is very limited but worth the trouble to stop in for a nice variety of wines in a busy, cozy, unique tavern. They have friendly staff that serve at and around the bar and tables in a effortless manner that amazes me when the place is hopping. I did not have to wait long to place my request or receive same. I inquired about the wine tasting for $5.00 and was told you would receive 2 tastings of white wine. Perhaps they do reds on a different night but I didn't ask. There is a written wine list of reds and whites to order full glasses of whites or reds which should suffice. I asked folks what they were drinking and there were many red wine-o's ha ha. The Bordeaux drinkers were happy with their choice and the Malbec drinkers were satisfied with their choice and commented the wine was soft. I chose a cold Chenin Blanc mostly cuz I haven't seen it on a menu in the Triad for quite some time. It was quite good great nose of sweetness but dry enough to be a good all round table wine. Its similar to Pinot Gregio but not dry or tart. I think when I'm back in GSO I will stop in to this unique wine bar again as it was a nice experience and everyone seemed very chill and friendly.

The days of pounding shots in bars are long behind me and not fun anymore. But a cigar lounge and a glass of whiskey feels relaxed and more sophisticated. The Smoke & Oak has been on my wish list list for a while and I'm happy I finally went! The location is nondescript, looking like a normal house from the street were it not for the sign. Street parking was not difficult to find. Inside, the ambiance is great. Soft warm lighting, ample plush leather chairs for seating, attractive displays of cigars and a huge selection of whiskeys. The staff are passionate, knowledgeable, and friendly and made great recommendations. Walking in as a complete novice felt intimidating, and they made it much easier than I expected. I was taught basic terminology and options on pairings. Pricing felt reasonable and fair. The atmosphere was extremely laid back and relaxing. Socializing and networking with the other men was fun. I'll absolutely come back and you should too.
