    The one time I went to limelight, I was extremely underwhelmed. I just recently received this correspondence and I'm not convinced that it's a lie but I'm posting it here to give the managers an opportunity to respond. Is it true that you don't want the business of African Americans? If so, is it just limited to African Americans or all ethnic groups outside of Eastern Europeans? Your response is appreciated, thank you.

    Bruised ribs

    Went to Limelight last night to celebrate a birthday with friends. Had never been. Drinks were okay, music was good, great vibes throughout the night until about 1am. My boyfriend had just bought a beer and placed it on the table. Someone else had their beer on the table. Someone came by and knocked one of the beers off the table accidentally. Bouncer grabs my boyfriend's beer to throw it away. I go to grab the beer and tell him we just bought it and my boyfriend will drink it. He yells at me to let it go. And is extremely aggressive towards me and my man. We tell him we will just drink it and go. He continues to be verbally aggressive towards us and tells us we have to go as he begins to shove my man out the door. I call him a B since he was being one. My man starts telling the bouncer he will not leave without me as I was left behind when they shoved him out. The bouncer then assaults my boyfriend by placing him in a choke hold where he couldn't breathe. There are now 3 bouncers on my man pushing him out the door. Obviously he wasn't going to just let them push him out the door without me. I run towards them because I see my man in a choke hold and he is being punched in his ribs!!! I mean these men were out of control. I'm telling the bouncer to let him go. We can walk ourselves out. Extremely unprofessional and unnecessary excessive force used. We were never aggressive with them until they were shoving my man around. Will never return. Terrible terrible bouncers. I'm pretty sure we can press charges over this. Will be looking into that.

    Bad bouncer service. Bouncer was disrespectful towards women. Bartenders are scammers. Don't pay to go in this place. Save your coin.

    The first time I visited didn't really make a good impression. Everyone was crowded onto one floor with very iffy music. Not very fun at all

    It's really ghetto and smelly. I don't think I've ever enjoyed myself here. Greensboro needs new clubs asap.

    Is this club 18+ on Friday nights? And how much is the entrance fee?

    Hi. We are 18+. Ladies are $10. Guys are $15. Under 21 $20

    Are you serving liquor to 19 yr old college kids?

    We would surely hope not. We have a three-part system where their IDs are check before entering the venue. There they receive a wristband. Then before purchasing alcohol their IDs are checked again at the bar where there they receive a stamp. There… Read more

The inside is cozy and on the smaller side but so cute. We started with the buratta appetizer which came with focaccia and pesto which was all amazing. The pesto had a great garlic flavor and the bread was lightly toasted. For an entree, I had the Moroccan couscous with crispy chickpeas and even though the picture might look a little weird, I can assure you it was delicious. The chickpeas were really crispy as promised and the flavor was delicious. It was well seasoned and the sauces were so good. The green one was a mint parsley I think and the orange was my favorite - red pepper tahini. My only complaint would be that I want more of the sauce because it was so good. I really enjoyed & I appreciated that they had this vegan option. They have tons of wine & the cocktail menu is also great. The waiter was super friendly and quick. I ordered a cocktail with vodka instead of tequila which wasn't a problem at all. I tried a few of the cocktails and they were all really good and perfectly described on the menu. I really enjoyed everything here and can't wait to go back!

Food - the new Sous chef that joined 6-8 months ago has breathed new life into the menu and the execution has improved as wee. As of 4/17 - Pork belly vao buns were stellar. Great balance between the heat and the sweet. We'll be back again soon

Housed in part of an old mill, it makes for an incredibly unique space. The club is broken up into two spaces, a gallery and the bar. The bar is incredibly eclectic, with so much fun and interesting decor to look at. The bar also has a full bar, though the drink prices are on the higher side. The bar tender was very friendly and quick at getting drinks made. They also have a full size piano for music, and I'm told other performers will also bring their own instruments for events to have live music. The parking lot is a bit tight, and shared spots with the Back Table. So some may need to find street parking depending on the size of the event. They don't serve food and my only real complaint is about the lighting. They have a lot of red and blue lights, which may be apparent based on the photos, but when it comes to looking at art, it may be hard to see because of the distortion from the lighting.

    Passing by this building for decades, I knew that it had great potential and hoped that one day…read moresomeone with vision would bring it back to life. And boy is it alive!

Look for upcoming events and see what they've done with the place.
