Trump
Lydia F.

Nice bartender, but the owners and clientele are Trumpy. Won't ever go back. Trump sits at the bar and that's enough reason to avoid.

Very surprised at what a great spot this is! We went to listen to live music- for a few musicians we follow. We ended up having a great meal, drinks. The service was amazing!! Friendly people , and great atmosphere! Indoor seating and outdoor. Free pool table!!

Came in on Sunday at around 3 pm, just in time to hear Big Bump play. Live music every Sunday from 3-6 PM. It's our first time and we're pleasantly surprised with the ambiance. The decor's garage inspired and very cool. We were greeted by Jenny, who was very friendly and attentive. I ordered Chardonnay and my husband and I split an order of yummy meatballs that were Sunday special for only $4!! They have really good Sunday Food and Drink Specials. Will definitely be back!! -

Wings (garlic parm dry rub)

This is a members only bar but you can have guests. The membership is $10. They serve, pizza, wings, and have a full bar. You can sign for a membership at the kiosk near the entrance. Each visit thereafter, there's a checking in process. Not having this knowledge prior to stopping in initially had me feeling a bit out of place. Though, this bar appears to get pretty busy on the weekend. There was a live band performing during my visit also. There were some interesting items decorating the place. The drinks were reasonable and the wings were just ok. I ended up taking them to go. Although, I signed up for a membership, as I wanted to get a feel of the space...I'm contemplating a decision to return. Glad I finally got to drop in and see what this place that's tucked away has to offer.

A bar that's clean and inviting without having to be fancy ?? That's the vibe of garage tavern. Looking for a late night spot for drinks and something to eat not a easy feat in this area of Greensboro. This place covered all the bases though. You can order food from their sister restaurant down the strip and they bring it to your table. Live music on a Saturday , they played stuff we all knew which was great ! Nice big area lots of bar seating and tables and pool tables They have a full bar and lots of beer and cocktail and some wine choices. I got a Prosecco in a nice glass which surprised me. Beer and Tito's and soda and crown and ginger ale also made our table. So with drinks covered we moved onto food. The fries were crinkle cut , my fave ! With seasoning they def hit the late night foodie spot. The pizza was delivered in a massive box which scared us a little but when we opened it, it was just the large , must have run outta boxes !! Great thin crust and nice amount of sauce and pepperoni. Perfect . The bacon cheese fries and hot dogs our yelp chairman Erik had looked fully loaded and he didn't seem to have a problem with them! All in all it worked out to be the perfect place for us and what we needed . Nice choice Erik!!

I went to the Garage Tavern to see Mike Reno from the 80s group, Loverboy. I enjoyed the atmosphere, and the food was great. It's a really nice place, plenty of room, clean, and a great place just to hang out for a few hours. It is a Members Only club and I was the guest of a member.

Ok, my wife and I have loved another establishment on walker ave. but the service has dropped considerably lately. It was time to find something new. We found this place driving home one day from the super g Mart and decided to go in and give it a try. We went in on a Monday and it was pretty quiet which is great The food was excellent which comes from the restaurant which is just a few doors down and the drink specials look pretty fantastic throughout the week. The bartender was exceptional and we're looking forward to going back on a night when they have live music. The ambience on the inside is pretty neat it has all kinds of old garage and gas station memorabilia with a free pool table and a couple free trivia games that you can play it was exceptionally clean it has an outdoor patio where you can bring your dog as well.

This is a fun bar to enjoy if you are looking for drinks, entertainment or food…read more I enjoyed hanging out for an afternoon and evening on the spacious patio and inside for a more intimate experience. There are many friendly patrons, bartenders, staff and yummy food. I came for a birthday event and met some wonderful people. The weather was good so we sat outside after we ate. A great space to enjoy. After a while we decided to come back inside and found that the owner had hired a musician to keep the vibes going. A great night and a good experience. Check it out maybe it will be your next "Cheers" bar!

Soon after relocating to the area, someone recommended we give Box Seat a try. We have now been…read morefrequenting this place for a little over a year and after trying a few different menu items, the Tex-Mex dunk has become our go to sandwich. It is just delicious and their tater tots are great and now our favorite side! We've also had the smorhered potato appetizer and the potato skins- both great options as well. We prefer to sit at the bar and the bartenders we have had have been great. The mixed cocktails we have tried have been fabulous. Now for the only negative. We came here originally out of curiosity for the BBQ stuffed hushpuppies as recommended & they quickly became our favorite, however; something changed with them when we ordered them on May 1st and even after the bartender agreeing that they weren't right and she had them remade- they still weren't the same :( The fact the BBQ sauce is a thicker/sweet sauce (think Sweet Baby Ray's) rather than the traditional vinegar BBQ sauce most places here have is part of why we loved them. Unfortunately on May 1st, they came out the first time as though a hot sauce (think Cholula) was drizzled on them rather than BBQ and when they came out the second time they still tasted like hot sauce. If this had been our first time trying them, I would NOT order them again and probably wouldn't have come back. I am skeptical now of ordering them again even knowing what they should be. Bottom line- if you want a chill vibe with some great food and drinks- check this place out!

On recommendation from my son, checked this place out. Packed on a Sunday evening but wait time was…read moreonly 10 minutes. Our server Bronny was great. She was literally hoppin' it was so busy but did a good job of keeping up. She helped me find items on the menu that fit my dietary restrictions. Nice vibe, laid back, loud. Parking isn't great limited onsite but there's plenty of additional parking across the street. The best menu! There's SOOOO many things I want to try. I mean, a variety of different fries are you kidding me? My friend had the spicy goat burger which she said was good: if you don't like messy don't get it because the sauce is very sticky and she said there needs to be more sauce on the burger. I had a customized salad which was huge and delicious. The salad was too big for the size of plate though. The dressing was a house made roasted shallots and was yummy. Outdoor and indoor seating. Not in Greensboro often but I'm coming back here!

Finally got back to Hops. This experience was underwhelming. I tried to eat here the night before…read morebut was too crowded. Since I was driving back by on my home the next day, had a late lunch. Arrived around 3pm on a Friday and sat at the bar. Given the hour, it was fairly quiet. Weird experience, bar was wide open. I went to the bathroom and when I came back, someone decided to sit in the seat right next to me. Why?! I must comment on the service. The barkeep got me a menu quick and I ordered a water. During my meal, my water sat empty for 5 minutes or so even thought I counted 8 staff members behind the bar. Given the time of day, it was not busy. I ordered onion rings (as a side) and the Bacon Jam burger as it came with the "cordon Bleu" fries. The onion rings stole the show. So good. The fries were not my jam. Low quality cheese sauce with lunch meat ham that was diced. My fault, I should have subbed regular fries as I don't like stuff on my fries. I was expecting it to be a seasoning. My mistake. The burger was good not great. I got the 12 oz size and learned it is 2 fat 6 oz. patties stacked. Makes it VERY tall. The description of this burger is shown in one of my photos. Again, it was good but the flavors just did not pop. Wish I got the French Onion burger. Next time. :-) I do recommend!

We recently visited The Podium as part of a local food series we're filming, and overall it was a…read morereally enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was one of the biggest surprises. They have games, pool tables, darts, basketball, arcade machines, outdoor seating, and a welcoming setup that makes it easy to hang out for a while. The staff was very friendly and accommodating from the moment we arrived. Our total wait time from sitting down to receiving food was about 21 minutes, which felt reasonable considering drinks and appetizers came out first. The deep fried crab balls were delicious, and the fries were cooked perfectly. For the wings, we tried multiple flavors including Atomic Buffalo, Sweet Chili, Lemon Pepper, Teriyaki, and Jerk. The cook on the wings was excellent -- crispy without being dry. Some flavors stood out more than others depending on personal preference, but the Sweet Chili and Teriyaki were favorites for our table. The ranch was also really good, which definitely matters with wings. Overall, the atmosphere, service, and food made this a fun experience and we'd return again.

We arrived with only 2 other cars in the parking lot, which made us question if they were even open...as it turn out they were, but my wife, and I were the only patrons. We walked in to an unlit foyer, saw some light on in the bar area, so poked our heads in to ask if they were open. The bartender welcomed us and assured us they were, and invited us to seat ourselves. We grabbed seats at a high top, and she brought over the menus and took our drink orders. First thing I noticed was the table tops were not flat, they were wavy and made it very easy to spill your drink, so beware, and be careful where you put your drink down. The menu was pretty standard bar food, burgers, sandwiches, wings and other fried items. I decided to try their build your own burger, an 8oz patty with choice of cheese and toppings. Only side options were fries or hot chips. Food was quick to come out, but again, we were the only people there. The burger was OK, although just a frozen patty, they grilled up, the fries were good, but the portion felt a little small. Overall it was okay, perhaps they're still trying to get thing figured out. The bartender was friendly though. I didn't see a bar menu, but from what I could see they had a fully stocked bar. As we left, we poked our head around to the other side of the building to find a golf simulator, some billiards tables and a few arcade games. Lots of tvs every where though, probably a good place to catch a game.
