The space is cozy with a great atmosphere, and they have a nice selection of drinks at the bar, beer, wine, cocktails and THC Drinks. The only downside is that it can get crowded pretty quickly and it is a walk no matter where you park. So be prepared if you're attending a popular event. This past weekend, I went for their Bastille Day celebration, and it was fantastic! They had delicious food from Breakfast in Paris, beautiful aerial performances, local art including caricatures, and live jazz music that made the whole evening feel festive and unique. It was a well-rounded event with something for everyone. You can tell this place is locally-owned and locals enjoy it. If you're looking for a local spot that hosts creative community events in addition to having a great bar, the Continental Club is definitely worth checking out. I mean the decor alone is worth the visit- disco balls, mannequins, comfy chairs. and local art. I already plan to attend more events there in the future!

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.

Annual membership is $5 and allows you to bring one guest 21 and over. Everyone is carded here no matter your age, so don't be offended. When you first walk in there are 3 pool tables - two are coin op (there is a change machine) and the "Pro" table is rent by the hour. At the back are three dart boards and the restrooms. Five taps which were heavy on OMB (not a fave) and a moderate selection of canned beer. Was happy to see Hazy Little Thing and Guinness. I just kind of went with the flow my first visit and never really saw a price menu to compare draft vs. can; I believe cans were about $5 each. The Lafayette also offers a cocktail menu to members. Pretty cool hangout. No rowdy people, just chill ones. Not sure if the beer prices will work for or against them - only time will tell. And of course I'll be back, I'm a member now after all....

Simply because I was afraid the quality of crab they used wouldn't suffice and the crab meat may have a lingering fishy taste and smell to it. To my surprise, this pretzel crusted crab cake was delicious beyond my imagination. The well-seasoned crab meat was light and fluffy with a crispy crust. The peach vinaigrette drizzled on the bottom of the plate added some sweetness to the dish. Because of this dish, I am willing to try more crab cakes if they are available on the menu. Hopefully they measure up to this one.

It's hard to accommodate everyone and their preferences when you have a large group but food should be an exception. Bugs should never be in a salad.

Saint Francis is a small but pretty neighborhood church with a pre-school program. While Saint…read moreFrancis people and clergy are encouraging and supportive, they are not aggressive nor are they dogmatic. This is not a "fire and brimstone" experience, but the expression of God's Love for neighbors and visitors. If you enjoy traditional music at Christmas, Easter and Sundays, they have a well-developed music program and welcome new singers to audition for their adult choir. Some previous choir experience is preferred, including high school experience. Contact the choirmaster Sam to find out more. There are many families here with parents, adult children, and friends serving in the Saint Francis' adult choir.The church also has opportunities for children and youth to sing in their own choirs and there is a less formal group of singers and guitar players with a more pop focus. You do not have to be an Episcopalian or Anglican, just friendly ;-) Saint Francis holds a large book sale every year to help fund charity outreach projects in Greensboro. If you like to pitch in with service projects, there are several to volunteer for. Service, music, fellowship all are a part of this church, but no one is ever forced to do more than they want to. If you like a neighborhood church with a traditional feel, you'll enjoy Saint Francis Episcopal.

I've been to a lot of indoor and outdoor venues in NYC and I was not expecting a super pleasant…read moreexperience when I came. My wife and I were very surprised to be proven wrong. We came for a house music show on a Saturday night, on the earlier side to check everything out. The bouncer and security staff were super nice - they were hospitable to everyone in the line as far as I could tell. They didn't really pad us down but we weren't wearing any baggy or loose clothes or had bags with us. I assume security eyeballs guests and makes situational calls. The inside was spacious and clean. The bathrooms were always attended to. The floor was a bit sticky initially but i think that was fixed before crowds rolled in. When some people spilled beer, the staff immediately came and cleaned. We felt safe with security staff in eyeshot. The music reproduction quality is OK; I think the crowd has a tendency to talk loudly and the volume should be balanced against that, but for the headliner, everything sounded great. Could use more emphasis on higher than bass frequency, but I'll take a solid bassline anyday. I did not feel the need to wear earplugs like some NY venues, probably due to the smaller size of this one. The lights are awesome, if a bit on the intense side since they are just above the stage, aimed at the floor. I would wear sunglasses next time to give my eyes a break. The bartenders were quick and attentive. One issue: they tried to swipe my chip-cards to open tabs (we tried a couple) and those were blocked by our banks for security purposes. Those cards should be chipped for payment gateway acceptance - hopefully the point of sale can support that. Closing each tab everytime worked fine, though, and the bartender did not embarrass us with the decline card response - we noticed others at the bar had the same issues. The outdoor space is super nice. Everyone was dressed casual but clean - and no one smelled bad or was unfriendly/aggressive. We will definitely continue coming back here for performers we like - please keep bringing in great house and techno producers!

Having to buy 4 seats to get a table is fine but the tables need to be a little bigger. But overall the few shows we have seen here have been great.

But until that happens we will still enjoy the tribute shows.
