The drinks are good but they don't give you much for what you pay for. The service has been good and the bartenders have been nice. The ambiance is a very classic club feel. The best part about it is that it has a rooftop which is super fun during the warmer months! I will say though it is definitely an 18 plus club and because of that you might run into some interesting people. read more

I have never been more disappointed. We came to this place at 10:30 as a group of 5. We got in got a drink and stood back waiting for our friends to get in. 3/5 of our group went to grab a drink & came back. While standing there, we were kicked out. I am so confused bc we were literally just standing there. They were hostile, aggressive, and would NOT tell us why we were being kicked out. I am so confused and angry that I spent money just to be forced out for no reason. The only thing I can think of is this was discriminatory due to our friend being gay. We never spoke to anyone except a young man named Parker & that was just casual conversation. In conclusion, I wouldn't recommend ever giving this place your time. I will be exploring my options legally as well. read more

Only the rooftop was open which honestly would have been better if the 1st floor was so we didnt have to climb the million stairs up but can't say we didn't have a good time... coming from Miami, FL finding a place that plays trending Spanish music is not always easy. So dress code is casual like hanging out in your friends house but basketball shorts is too casual and a no go but good to know for next time... we got 2 bottles and champagne which we could have skipped on the rose it was 15 of us so we finished the 4 bottles easily by the end of the night. 18+ gets packed towards the end the 2nd DJ was good played a lot of the hits and even older songs. read more

See all

Over priced, music isn't that good, and you can barely move around without weirdos following you around. Especially if you're a shorter woman and look younger than you actually are. read more

That was the worst experience I've had in a club. First off, this is Greensboro, NC. Why are the bouncers so picky, invasive, and unprofessional. I can understand assertiveness coming off as rude but what I witnessed was simply embarrassing. Rooftop vibes are great and the music slaps but please. get. a. new. crew. especially that white bald man. read more

skinny black "bouncer" (who wasn't supposed to be working the shift last night) came in too hard on a pat down. I called it out and he told to "grow the f up" and that "it's about to get a whole lot worse". That's when he proceeded to grope my in my inner thighs and groin area. I'm not sure what constitutes sexual assault, but I'm pretty sure theres a fine line especially when you're the ones physically engaging with guests. I understand the protocol of searching, backhands and front hands in proper areas. I seriously need to talk to management. Valerie or Valeria? Thanks for the trauma. read more

Went last night and the DJ was playing regular dance/ step up style music and then proceeded to say "I've been playing hood shit all night" and played two very typical Spanish songs then said he wanted to rep NYC and played a Jay-Z song. He said "I don't care if you have 10$ 20$ or food stamps, we getting lit tonight!" And that was very tacky after saying you had been playing "hood music" all night then he proceeds to play more African American music bc people didn't get hype the way he wanted. This was so tacky and very off putting. There is a white guy who is blonde and dj's sometimes and he laughed at the dj's antics. It was very uncomfortable! I have been told on more than one occasion the owner doesn't like for the music to be "too urban" which I assume means black. The whole situation was so tacky and I definitely don't care how cheap it is to get in I would suggest if you're black find somewhere you're welc read more

Security here is an absolute JOKE. As I was leaving the upstairs restroom someone literally grabbed a fistful of my hair and threw me to the ground. Security, who had been sitting on the bar across from the restroom, did nothing. I went to the front of the club to tell them that I had just been ASSAULTED and they showed absolutely no interest at all. Then I told the police who we're standing across the street and they didn't care either. I literally had bruises on my because of the incident. This place is a total trash pit and I will never go back. I'm still considering filing a lawsuit. Not sure how to answer directly to the response below, but when I spoke to the people out front they told me they didn't see anyone and had no idea who it was. I have a video of my conversation with the police across the street who also denied, on tape, that they had no clue. So to answer your question, what you could have done is actually tell the truth instead of lying on Yelp. read more

Without question the worst bar I've ever been to. The bouncers are a joke and security contributes to a sketchy environment as they seem to be looking for problems. Never have I ever been charged so much for such awful drinks, I literally threw one out and it's replacement was drinkable but still very bad. Know that I don't say that lightly as I tend to drink any and everything. Also the dj was bad the music just sucked and almost no one got into it. It generally takes a lot to make me seriously question my safety but I had no fun here as I was too concerned to take my eyes off the people I was with. Will never be returning and will be vehemently arguing with anyone who suggests this dump as a place to go. Oh lastly it was filthy I saw a large cockroach and it smells like my gym bag. read more

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. read more

Limelight - Dance Clubs Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Great place until I tried to dance and the security guard pushed me off the dance floor and completely fell and hurt myself, I am not one to post reviews but he was so inconsiderate and literally pushed me off the stage from a 5 feet drop read more

BARTENDERS SUCK!! I'm from NYC and they took more than 10 minutes to even order my drink!! Not only that but the drinks tastes like juice! I was a bartender back in the day I know a busy bar when I see one, it was not even busy!! read more

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

Horrible respect for the customers that just wanna have a good time. The disrespectful received in line to even get a ID check was unbelievable. Not to mention the bar was horrendous. They didn't even know how to make a green tea shot. I will never be returning to the limelight again. Boxcar from now on! They are so unbelievable disrespectful. read more

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. read more

Limelight - Bruised ribs - Dance Clubs Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

the bouncers were rude and the guy who patted down my boyfriend was extremely invasive and overly handsy even though my bf was wearing slim pants and a fitted polo. the gin and tonic was foul and i threw it away--absolutely disgusting and undrinkable--and the screwdriver was watery and not worth the $16. the dj was terrible and only played weird lame 45-second remixes and bad 90s trap. we saw a large cockroach and a massive silverfish and the bathrooms were in very poor condition, already filthy and smelling rancid 30 minutes after they opened, which is when we arrived, making it obvious that they weren't cleaned recently. we will never be returning to this piece of garbage establishment. read more

Visited tonight. We paid are dues. The place was empty asked the lady working the door if we could return with the bracelets they provided. She said yes. When we returned the bouncer said I'm the one who makes the rules and you can't get in for free. But we already paid. We won't be returning. Terrible customer service when the bouncer is on a power trip. read more

-very nice club. The first floor is more of bar hang out. Second floor has a bar but it hang like loft over the first floor and it had dance floor and booths. The rooftop is huge. It has two bars on both sides. It nice bar when it packed and when who ever is hosting is actually hosting. One best parties I had was a foam party on the roof top. read more

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

They charged over 21 a cover and was soooo dead. They only had the roof top open with maybe 30 people. Also the bathroom was disgusting, there wasn't a lid on the toilet tank, and the toilet paper had dirt all over it. Don't come here. *Edit: I forgot this was the place that has a swing on the bar that is a ton of fun, so I added a star back. read more

Limelight - Dance Clubs Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Gotta give them props for being one of the only clubs in Greensboro. However they need more space for dancing. Going upstairs and across the bridge makes a bottle neck and ends up being a sea of people with no way to move. read more

Definitely better than 3 stars but it is limited to college students only. My gut feeling and being the most successful club critic ever they need to utilize the downstairs lounge to get the 30 to 45 crowd in ( 90's music) Would be 10 times more successful. Being 40 myself I still can dance these little shits under the table. That is another story and will bring cardboard next time. read more

Amazing venue. Been going here for YEARS! I remember the days Inferno, Limelight, and Arizona Pete's were the weekend spots. Visited last weekend with some friends and was amazed at the roof top! Hookah was available, not sure how but there was hookah going on. The only downfall for me was the staff, extremely nonchalant. I guess with the amount of teenagers you would be, however, me and my friends are the older crowd and would've spent more money had we known how to purchase a booth and hookah. Overall great time though, Dj was amazing, and so were the drinks! At $12 for a Henny and Pineapple I expected a bigger cup, but .... it was still a great experience! read more

So my friends and I came to limelight tonight, all of us being 21. My friend was having a hard time with some personal issues and she started to have a panic attack. My friend (who was also 21) and I went to the bar just to get her a glass of water to help calm her down to which the bartender said "we don't do free water cups on a Thursday night." We explained the situation and she still wouldn't help us out. I told her that her denying us free water was not okay and she told us "that's just how it is, not even sorry." The fact that all of us 21 year olds couldn't even get a cup of water was ridiculous. I will NEVER come back here and I certainly will not order drinks for myself or my friends. Limelight has no consideration for the wellbeing of its guests and I will never come back here. For your own safety, don't go to Limelight. read more

I've been here three times and I enjoyed it so much. The first time I went was for my birthday and the bouncer looked at my ID and said "Happy birthday". I told him thank you and asked if I could get in for free, joking of course. He let me in for free! A lot of cool people to dance and laugh with. Awesome music and great bartenders. I can't wait to go back again! read more

the one bouncer called me a bitch for absolutely no reason i did nothing to provoke him and he called me a bitch so then the manager got involved and didn't care that his employee had called me a bitch. extremely immature and unprofessional staff, could've gotten better service from an elementary schools 1st grade class. this place sucks and don't come here unless you want your dreams to die bc the employees suck so bad. read more

I had a great time at this spot, and this is coming from someone who lives minutes from the Vegas strip. Opened a tab for me and the homie and my bill was less than 100 bucks. For a good amount of alcohol, that's a hell of a deal. Music was on point. Staff was friendly. Crowd was diverse which is always a plus. They have my business next time I'm back in town, no doubt! read more

The first time I stepped foot in this club, it was incredible! A few months later, everything went downhill fast. The second floor is no longer in service and the dj's they have are beyond terrible! The last two times I went, I was VERY disappointed and wasted my entire night and money to hear a bunch of crap music and the drink prices are outrageous! It's very unfortunate.. read more

Limelight is the best club in downtown Greensboro. I was greeted by the nicest bouncers and the girls at the door were very friendly. The club has three levels. Downstairs has a full bar, Dj booth and TVs for watching any and every game that's on. The next level also has a bar and Dj booth. At the bar you can request any drink in the world and it can be made with the great variety and selection of liquor. The bartenders are always so nice and punctual when getting drinks. On the third level, the roof, there is a bar and of course, a Dj stand. The roof is a lot of fun when the weather is nice. Personally, I love the energy on the roof. Overall, you should try limelight at least once in your life, I found only quality and professionalism at this club & I will continue to visit limelight. read more

Blowing off some busy work week steam with my babe and bunch of friends. Best club in the city.

When they 1st opened up it deserved all 5 stars but over the past 6 months it has died off a lot. The bar staff is top quality but drinks cost more than most bars or clubs in greensboro. DJs as of late have been mediocre at best. Bouncers that work there are really cool or a pain in the ass. The women there tend to be a little bit more classy which is a good and bad thing.. read more

This club is very boring. A very monotnous music being played over and over again. Shows no class. For example I asked for a martini and the bartender said the martini machine broke. read more

Okay y'all. If you're here for the night life be prepared to be severely disappointed. The DJ is fine, the drinks are well poured - but the asshole bouncers will slap a drink out of your hand and waste your money. It does not matter who you're with or what you've paid for. These motherfuckers will do everything in their power to keep you from having a good time, even if you're just trying to chill with the friends you came in with. DON'T TRUST THIS CLUB read more

No returned email and telephone voice mail was full and could not leave message missed out on 200+ people coming to your place...

Be careful at this place! On top of the 15$ entry Some random guy was acting like a security guard and charged two of my male friends an extra 20$ to get to the 3rd floor. once we got up there the same guy targeted them again for another 20$ be he claimed my friends red bull was alcohol!!!! If that was actually a bouncer and limelight lets them get away with stealing money we're never going back again! We tried to get security but the guy left sadly! read more

I went here on July 13th 2018 and it was the worst money I ever spent in my life. I'm a white male and went with my 2 black friends and before we even enter the club we were a problem with the bouncers. They said one of use can't wear a plain white t shirt, it was against club rules or something. So I ask if we go back to the car to get a hoodie if that would work and they said yes. We walk back to the entrance and now apparently that wouldn't work either. After about 15 minutes we finally got in bit when they marked your hands with some dumb permanent marker they dont even ask for your arm they just grab it. Now I'm a big guy and am surprised they had the audacity to pull that. After 15 minutes we realized the only people in there are a couple of 40 year old men in a cabana. The bouncer upstairs were rude as can be to. We left shortly after getting there and they didn't want to let us out. read more

Don't waste your time, or money. I used to love this place but since they have remodeled, it's not the same. On a Saturday night, there was only the rooftop bar open, on a Saturday night... not only that but I could literally count the people present, on a Saturday night... but you still have the nerve to charge a $10 cover fee. I literally paid, changed my mind and turned around and was told, eventually, after giving me the runaround, sending me to three different people who were supposedly managers, still never found the elusive Baldheaded manager named Grady, if he even exists, that I couldn't get my money back. Thanks a lot for a major let down, won't happen again for me, and hopefully it won't happen for you. There a way better places with better drinks and better prices, and I'm pretty sure I paid for a top shelf vodka but was given a bottom shelf, but that's another long story. Don't do it to yourself, find somewhere better. read more

This is an awesome club! I've been going here for years and it has yet to disappoint. With the two indoor floors and a rooftop with a bar on each end; it's a very cool vibe. I'd definitely recommend checking this place out read more

sure it's better than any other clubs in Greensboro, its the best in club in dt but still trashy, dj sucks and the bathrooms are nasty. read more

We eloped and were looking for a relaxed and fun venue for our wedding celebration with family and friends. We saw pictures of Limelight online and knew that it would be perfect! Paul (manager) was so easy to work with, and patiently answered all of our questions. We were out of town for a few weeks before the party for our wedding and honeymoon, and it was easy to keep in touch with him about the details while we were away. It actually rained the day of our party, and Paul was great about letting us move inside and helping us change everything at the last minute. The staff the night of the party were very nice and also great to work with. Overall, we were extremely happy that we chose to have our party at Limelight and would recommend them to others looking for a fun, unique venue! read more
