International Civil Rights Center & Museum

The International Civil Rights Center & Museum is located in the heart of Downtown Greensboro. It…read moreopened in 2010. The museum offers guided, self-guided, and virtual tours if you can't make it to Greensboro. I've done the guided tours and the self-guided tours. With the guided tour, you are provided with background information as you go through, and directed to specific things in each gallery. With the self-guided tours, you start with a video overview of what you will see in each gallery, then you go through the museum at your own pace. One tour isn't better than the other; it just depends on what you prefer. This museum is special in that it is located inside the 1929 F.W. Woolworth building, where the 1960 sit-ins at the lunch counter began. The L-shape lunch counter and the 69 stools remain where they were in 1960. This is where you first enter the galleries. Standing in front of the lunch counter where history was changed is unforgettable. The late Phil Freelon and his firm, the Freelon Group, handled the historic renovation and turned the building into a museum. Eisterhold Associates designed the interactive exhibits. The renovation and preservation made sure that many of the 1929 features remained. From the terrazzo floors to the plaster coffered ceilings. to the lunch counter, to the original stools, to the art deco stairway, to the basement, to the exterior red and gold Woolworth sign. The original dorm furniture is located in the basement. It was the planning room for the NC A&T students. The Hall of Shame is also located in the basement. It is very graphic and difficult to view, but it is so important to see these images, as you will never forget them. Segregated Greensboro shows the segregated signs and vending machines, advertising and The Green Book. The churches played a vital role in the Civil Rights Movement, as this is where they planned. Freedom Songs helped build courage before protests. There are interactive exhibits, and you can try a literacy test to suppress voting. The museum shifts from the dark side to successes. You will see mugshots of 1,200 peaceful protestors. Most of these are from other protests after the sit-ins, paying tribute to those who fought for equality. You can read about the legal triumphs after the sit-ins. After reading about other protests in the country, make sure to read through some of the names on the Wall of Remembrance, especially those you haven't heard about before. The last gallery has many black-and-white, tile-sized photos that form a mosaic of President Obama. They represent the power of community. It is a reminder that everyday people can bring change. Photography is not allowed in the museum galleries because much of the content is copyrighted. I take a lot of photos, so this was initially a challenge. But after a while, I just got so immersed in the exhibits.

Informative museum led by knowledgeable staff. Highlight was original Woolworth counter from iconic…read moresit-in. Note that protective face masks are required and no photography is allowed. I'd give 5 stars if I could have taken photos.

I love to get any of the fruity ciders but the bartenders had great recommendations for others drinks. Food came out quick and was good. Dog friendly outside on the patio.

We came to SouthEnd at the recommendation of our taste master at the distillery next door. He said…read morethe food was the best in the immediate area, it was super hot and we didn't want to walk far!! He was right though, the food was wonderful! The Poke Nachos pretty much stole the show, they were amazing! Obviously it's not "fresh" tuna but it was definitely a good grade of tuna, buttery and sweet and the nachos were loaded with it! The drizzle was just enough so the wonton chips stayed nice and crispy all the way through. Could have used more jalapenos but that's my taste, not by any means a negative point! The rest of the food was delicious as well with the cheese curds coming in a super close second to the nachos! I'm guessing the ranch is house made, it was so rich and dare I say a bit spicey (not in a hot way)?! I always like to include service in my reviews, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. There is really no service! You order drinks at the bar then food at another counter, take a number they hand you, have a seat and they'll bring everything to you. The staff was mildly friendly, no complaints, just not really 5 star service. We will definitely return for the Poke Nachos!

This is an inclusive place for everyone, family, adults, college students, the urban crowd as well. I love the setup!, It looks to be an old garage or something because of the sliding doors but you can't tell on the inside. They have great drinks and a huge selection of beer if you're into that. They also have games and TVs with plenty of seating and an area for corneal in the front. It's very close to the public parking lot so not a far walk at all and it's in a great area. The bathrooms and the entire establishment is pretty clean which is always appreciated. They don't have food but they have a food truck that stays parked in their lot with some pretty decent food. I will definitely stop by Hidden Gate if I'm in the mood for some chill vibes and it's a great place to talk with friends. I enjoyed it!

Inside there's plenty of seating and TVs, so it works whether you want to hang out casually or catch a game. The beer selection is excellent, with something for everyone, and the flights make it easy to sample around. It's the kind of place where you can stop in for one or settle in for a few. One of the biggest bonuses is the permanent food truck, Savoury Eats Kitchen, right outside. That deserves its own review, but let's just say having that kind of food right on hand makes the experience even better. Great atmosphere, wonderful beer, tasty food, and a lively location downtown. Hidden Gate Brewing nails it.
