A nice chill late night drink spot! We stopped by after a few other nearby bars and restaurants closed down. It was still a bit early and we wanted to hit one more spot before heading in. In pops Speakeasy Tavern. I'd been by many times but never stopped. It was a bit of a crowd but not too packed and the area is spacious so it didn't feel overwhelming. They had a good music playlist along with several tvs so if you wanted to watch the game you'd have plenty opportunity to do so. Drinks were okay, I had a margarita. I would definitely come back again. read more

I've been obsessed with this place for years. It was my jump off in college. I went a few years and didn't really visit often. I was happy to re-visit recently and not only enjoyed cheap beer but also tasty snacks. I loved the fried green beans and horseradish sauce. Also, the jalapeno poppers were AMAZING! It was paired with this unique sauce that made the entire popper POP! Love this place! read more

I like coming to the Speakeasy. The bartenders are friendly. The food is awesome, thanks to the cook. The wings were fried to juicy perfection. You can also download the jukebox app and play your own tunes. It was a tad too cold to enjoy the outside bar, so enjoyed the upstairs. Great place! read more

A favorite go to spot. Excellent sandwiches, burgers, onion rings and wings. Also, they have a tempura friend sushi that is excellent. During the cold months they have homemade soup. Good food, very clean and comfortable. Friendly people. A great local hangout with a solid beer selection and a growing list of cocktails and bourbon. read more

I came here on a Saturday night. I only saw one bar tender who was great about checking on us and refilling our drinks and keeping up with what everyone was drinking. The bacon cheese fries weren't very good. The cheese was not melted very well and the fries didn't taste freshly cooked. Other than that we enjoyed our time here. read more

I like the Speakeasy Tavern alot. Its sort of a hidden gem when it comes to good food. I have tried several of their items and they have always been served hot and fast. Bartender and chef are very friendly and they are helpful when we had our nfl fantasy draft. They have a nice upstairs area that was perfect for us guys to do our draft and have some privacy. read more

I was able to come here and do my fantasy draft with my friends. Downstairs, they have a wide seating area and in the back the same. They also feature an upstairs and I'm my opinion that's the best part of the bar. I was very impressed by the bourbon selection, and the prices were fair. The bartender was very friendly as well. The food was banging!!!! read more

I gave this two stars because my husband has been there before and liked it. We went today for lunch and there are a lot of improvements that could be made. I ordered a Greek salad with chicken, big mistake. The salad was finely chopped to hide the brown romaine, and the chicken tasted like it was cooked days ago. Inedible. Bartender did not give a shit. The cheesesteak had no cheese. I understand that it's a Sunday lunch shift and it's probably not the a-team (or they closed there last night) but the meal was bad. Dirty bathrooms too, and considering that the place was pretty empty, it seems like they might not have been cleaned the night before. I've heard they have excellent wings, but I'm not going to be back to try them. Makes me a little sad because the food scene in Greensboro is definitely lacking, and I was really hoping this would be a place to add to the rotation. read more

Love the vibe, location, & drinks. The bartenders are on point. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a new spot, or throw it in the rotation! read more

We stopped in after running errands - first time visiting this place - over all 4 stars... We got the sesame chicken wings to start with - wow, the sauce was delicious the wings were crispy like chicken wings should be! The Greek salad I ordered with grilled chicken and the house balsamic was also delicious. Hubs got the Reuben and hot chips, the hot chips were great, crisp and not a single one was soggy! The Reuben was filled with everything a Reuben should have! There was only one waitress and she was running a full house, she did great, was prompt and ensured we had what we needed. If you're in the mood for some good tavern food - check out the Speakeasy read more

It was quiet when we walked in but after an hour people started coming in. The bar tender was so nice, friendly, and gave great recommendations. The food was SO good! Everything from the fried pickles, homemade ranch, wings (you didn't even have to ask for them to be cooked crispy!), Reuben, and French dip were cooked perfectly. We come to Greensboro for concerts at the complex often and will make this a for sure stop. read more

Speakeasy Tavern is a long-standing establishment withing the long strip of shops flanking Battleground avenue before it splits off into Lawndale. It's a bit of a dive, and the name should not indicate to anyone that it is meant to be styled after some kind of old-timey speakeasy. It's very much a bar food and beer kind of place, and not where you would go for finely crafted cocktails. After finding the wait times for dinner to long at some nearby restaurants, our group settled on grabbing a more readily available bite here. Service was a bit lacking from the start, but for the most part it was tolerable. I ordered a reuben with fries, and around the table there were orders for fish tacos, chicken wraps and other similar bar fare. My reuben arrived, and while it was fine, it certainly isn't something I would get again. The meat was a bit chewy, the fat on it wasnt rendered very well. It made for a strange texture. I like that the fries are steak fries, so that was a plus. My friend that got the buffalo chicken wrap with pasta salad did not have good things to say about either part of it. The tuna tacos actually had a nice amount of seared tuna in them, so that person was happier. Overall, while things weren't bad necessarily, there also wasn't anything that would draw me back in here other than convenience. read more

I came here for a little bit of a bachelor party. Not the real deal but certainly a little bit of fun the night before. It was not too busy when we got there but it certainly picked up. I had a few PBRs and a burger, which was great. The service was great. We had a number of entrees, beers, jaegers, whiskeys, etc. and then... yeah we went home. A great time all around. read more

My 17 year old daughter and I stopped here for lunch back In August 2022. We are from out of town and we were looking for a place to eat that wasn't a chain and this place did not disappoint. We came here on a Wednesday afternoon as soon as it opened. The woman (I forgot her name) was behind the bar and waiting tables was so patient and kind with us. There was one other employee at work that day and he was the chef. He definitely made a mean Buffalo, ranch fried chicken sandwich. Both our food was great no complaints at all. The atmosphere was nice and chill at the time of the day we came in. If we're ever in North Carolina or the immediate area again we will definitely come back. read more

I have visited this grill twice last week for lunch. On both occasions my guests & I were impressed with the excellent food & smiling, helpful staff. I plan to return soon.

This is such a nice, friendly neighborhood bar - I've been going there for years. They have a great selection of beer and cocktails.

Cute lil hole in the wall bar. I actually havent been here in years, but always loved the atmosphere of this place. Staff was always friendly, music was great. The upstairs is open too, and its so cute and comfy. read more

I love this place to holy hell, the bartender is beautiful and an amazing conversationalist the vibes are here 100% love the set up and the people might be my new spot. read more

This place doesn't look like a stylish speakeasy but more like an old run down converted Dunkin' Donuts that needs some major TLC, and the bartender service was several points below that. Any respectable place would never have hired someone with such poor people skills. This was around 3pm, so hopefully they have a better crew for nighttime crowds, but that was my 1st time and last visit. read more

This use to be one our regular go to places for a decent drink and bar food. Went last night and was sorely disappointed . The drink was good and the bartender was ok. Ordered wings and shrimp tacos. There was not a lot of food ordering and our order took quite a while and when we got the wings they were too too salty to eat . We sent them back. The bartender acted as if she was used to sending back. The tacos came out and I had asked for pico on the side and it was not. Due to my food sensitivities we left. It was horrible and the bartender did not seem to care. They need a new cook! The food product seemed good, but the preparation was not good . read more

We love this bar. We go on Sunday's for trivia and the bartender Jordan is the BEST. The food is good, reasonably priced and they have great drink specials. It's the perfect little bar to chill at and I'm so glad I found this gem in Greensboro. read more

Great drink specials. Good bar food. Best BLT in the Boro. Loved the nighttime bartender on Wednesday night. After overhearing my gf's story about another waiter who ackwardly did a Captain Morgan pose he came by and mimicked it to give us the best laugh! Great guy and easy on the eyes, ladies! Nice outdoor area & bar for the warmer months. read more

Speakeasy Tavern - Turkey & Havarti on Texas toast with homemade chicken chips. Delicious - Speakeasies Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

I've been to Speakeasy Tavern numerous times as it is pretty close to my home. I went again for lunch two days ago and this was the first time I've eaten here in awhile. I usually go in the evenings to hang out with friends. As I sat there, I realized this bar is really one-sided. Its a good casual hangout with a fun, energetic vibe during prime hours (i.e. nights/weekends) but it's kind of weak in terms of food and beer selections. Food: On my most recent visit, I ordered the pepperjack chicken wrap. It was probably the most bland lunch I've had in a very long time. The wrap consisted primarily of course-chopped iceberg lettuce, a few tomatoes and nearly flavorless chicken. The wrap wasn't even warm enough to melt the pepperjack cheese. I ended up picking out the chicken purely on principle and left the rest. I recalled that I've never been overly impressed with the food here. The rest of the menu is consistent with pub-fare: burgers, salads, etc but I can't personally recommend a particular item. Another disappointment is, that while they have a decent liquor selection, the beer choices are pretty soft. There are only 4 or 5 beers on draft and those consist of your American rice beers (Bud, Miller, Coors, etc). There a few higher quality beers available in bottle but I didn't see any selections for any of the micro's in the region. 2 stars for lack of flavor and imagination. Service: There were only about 5 other patrons there for lunch when I was there and the bartender had no problem handling our needs. She was polite but quiet with me but friendly and talkative to a pair of customers that must have been regulars. 3 stars for average service. Value: My super bland wrap was about $8 (as were most sandwiches and burgers) and my beers $3 for the import bottles on special that day. 3 stars (but I'm half tempted to just give 2 based on specials at other nearby bars). Atmosphere: This might the be highlight of Speakeasy; especially the cool outdoor patio in the back with its own bar and cornhole set. The interior is decorated in a clique-fun type of way. There are also a couple of TV's and Speakeasy is an unashamed Boston Red Sox bar. (I'm a big Yankees fan but I won't hold that against them!) 3 stars. Overall, I'll go back for a fun (hopefully) night with friends but I'll limit my expectations to that and not choose it if I'm looking to enjoy some casual bar food with a decent beer. Food: 4/10, Service 5/10, Value 4/10, Atmosphere 7/10 read more

I had to update my review because today I ordered a to go salad and they outdid themselves. The bartender was so friendly and the young gentleman who was cooking deserves a culinary award. My to go Ahi tuna salad is exceptional. Ingredients are fresh, tuna is perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. read more

Speakeasy is not my favorite Greensboro bar, but it definitely seems to be an institution that's not going anywhere. You walk into this place any night of the week and the group of 4 or so tables right next to the entrance are always full. Large majority will be Page alumni, if that matters. Summertime is the season to go here- they've got an awesome back patio with cornhole, live music and another bar. Also, while the upstairs seating area is weirdly shaped, furnished, decorated and situated, it's a nice spot for a more chill experience within a crowded bar if that's what you find yourself looking for. Really, what bar has an upstairs lounge with a white board, photographs of Muhammad Ali, a Metro poster, and a TV airing basketball all in the same L shaped upstairs lounge? This one. But there's no beers on draft and it lacks enough indoor seating downstairs in all the action for most week nights :( read more

Great food and warm welcoming staff!!! Will definitely return for many good times to come! Atmosphere and service is above and beyond anywhere else I've been in Greensboro. A diamond in the rough! read more

Most of the time great, food is good. Got to watch out for the blue hairs though. Sometimes they roll in and the place is swamped with 60+ year olds.....other than that, bartenders are nice, food is good, and drinks are on the cheap side. read more

We really love this place because we are not often in the mood for fancy pretentious places. On Thursday nights you get wine bottles half off and you can take home what you don't drink which I do often! If you are trying to eat healthy the options are somewhat limited but you CAN find healthy choices along with a side of celery/carrots instead of fries :) I don't go for the food though I go for the laid back atmosphere and the friendly staff. If you like hanging out with local folks where you can hang out with friends and not get 'hit on' this is the place! you can watch sports too:) read more

The speakeasy used to be a place I felt comfortable in however recently, it's somewhat "Sketchy" at best. There is a new manager/bartender whom's following of friends are questionable. Having a friend that is associated with the Greensboro Police Department, he pointed out to me that there were numerous occasions they have been called to Speakeasy in the past few months. I have a friend that has reached out to the owner and she has yet to acknowledge him or his reaching out. I have reached out to her in the past and she never acknowledged me so I told him not to expect much. Food is EEHHHH but the management is even more MEEEHHHH. Used to be a fun place to gather now, I would think twice! read more

I was quietly sitting on the very left hand side of the stairs drinking my beer in peace tonight. The ex-marine bouncer singled me out to leave. He stormed up the stairs and then knocked the beer I was drinking out of my hand and escorted me out of the bar. I am considering filing a lawsuit. read more
