    Good bar for the games and also pool. The chicken dip is the best thing on the menu. Much seating and it's beside a hotel.

    Ribs

    Ordered the Carolina ribs with coleslaw and cooper fries. Didn't eat the coleslaw "it was that bad" funky taste and I like coleslaw. So that sucked ..The ribs not the greatest. Well they were horrible and I wouldn't recommend . May have been a lil old . The fries were great . The best part of my order.

    After leaving Spare Time, my friend and I decided to stop here. It was around 11:10pm on a Sunday evening. It wasn't busy at all. We sat ourselves. There were a couple open booths but they were dirty, whether that be the table or the ground underneath. We ended up sitting at a table. Our waitress was Myha, who actually introduced herself! Omg. Kudos to her!! This isn't something I've experienced in a while at a restaurant! We needed time and ordered drinks around 11:15pm. We each got a Jamaican shaker, which was tasty. At 11:28pm, we ordered Wilding Out Chicken as an app. It was a good sweet/spicy mix. I don't like spicy foods, but this was tolerable. Service this visit was very timely and Myha gave good customer service. Coopers close at midnight. Before we knew it, time had flew by and were the only ones there around 12:20amish. We became more aware of the time when we noticed a song playing on the juke box. It was essentially a closing song. We got the message and left lol. The bill had already been paid.

    So I don't come to Coopers often but some of my friends really like it. The food is and I honestly feel like the drinks are overpriced. Saturday nights there is more of a crowd.

    Spinach dip on the left. Crab dip on the right.

    So late night in Greensboro this is the place to be for good music and good snacks. Drinks are OK (the bartender didn't make our drinks correctly). The bar service was not so great. But the waitress that helped us when we were ready to order food was great! Because of her this place gets 4 stars for me. They have pool tables & you can do karaoke (at least when we went. It was a Friday night) they also had a great DJ. Security is in front so please don't act a fool. There's also a nice outdoor seating area for when the weather is nice. We ordered Spinach dip and crab dip. Both were really really good! The spinach dip had a little kick to it so beware. The crab dip was my fave out of the two. Creamy and delicious. Especially the pita bread that came with it! MUST HAVE! I'll be back again on another drunken night in Greensboro lol.

    The service was great. The young lady that served us was very nice. The food was delicious. It is a bar/grill, they have TVs around for sports watching, a private area for cigar smoking and what seems to be a dance floor and karaoke. BUT, for it to be a small place there were 5 very well built security guards, scanning everyone coming in, made me wonder, but I enjoyed myself, my meal, loved the company of my co-workers, then left.

    Thai Thai Sweet Chili And mesquite wings

    We arrived at Cooper's Ale House around 7:45 on a Saturday night. We were greeted by two armed security guards at the front carding everyone before you could even enter the establishment. I'm not too familiar with this part of town but it seemed necessary. We were able to be seated immediately and out our drink orders in which came out relatively quickly. We placed our food orders and began to wait. It took about an hour for all of our food to come out on a night where the restaurant was not crowded at all. My water glass stayed empty once the food finally did arrive until we left. I ordered traditional bone in chicken wings, half with Thai Chili sauce and half with Mesquite seasoning on them. Some of of the wings were large and a great size while others were very small. Both the seasoning and the sauce tasted great and the wings were still crispy even with the wet sauce on them. I also ordered a side of onion rings that came with some sort of zesty sauce that were also delicious but kind of cold once they finally arrived. At about 9pm the juke box cut off and a DJ on the other side of the restaurant started playing music. We had no idea this was scheduled to happen, and I wouldn't have minded it at all except for the fact that it was so loud I couldn't hear anyone that I was with unless they were practically yelling. Here's what ruined the experience for me. I didn't notice this, but someone in my group with a keen eye noticed I'm very small writing on the menu that it says on Fridays and Saturdays am 18% gratuity is added to all checks no matter the party size. I thought that was strange as I've seen automatic tips added when you have a large group, but not automatically on the weekends. And I wasn't complaining because I always tip a minimum of 20% and frequently more than 20% depending on the service. When we got our checks it was not an itemized receipt. It had the bare minimum amount of information like the date and time, server name, and then just the total amount due and the tip line. It said nothing about the automatic 18% tip on the bill and I did the math based off what we had ordered and sure enough the extra tip was already included in the total. The issue I have with this is if you don't see the area where it states they add a tip automatically on these nights and do your usual 20% tip on the check then you're giving almost a 40% tip on your check. It just seemed shady and pretty dishonest like they're trying to squeeze a little bit of an extra tip out of you. Not to mention I didn't look at the bar menu so I don't know if it was stated there or not. It would be especially difficult to figure this out if you're drinking and most people inside the place that night seemed to be at the bar. Overall food was good, just the experience in general put me off. I might come back if I'm in the area. Definitely not if it's a weekend though

    This business has no respect for anyone around it. It has huge events and people park in nearby parking lots with no regard for others.

That's the way it was for us and Taproom, a long time Greensboro pub on Battleground Avenue. The last time we stopped by was pre-pandemic. Prior to Covid we had been somewhat regulars, visiting every couple of months. As we walked in, it was as if we had entered a time machine. Nothing aesthetically had changed. That's a good thing because Taproom exuded the comfortable dark wood intimate setting that it is always enjoyed. We wanted a little bar food and a couple of adult beverages. At the suggestion of the bartender, we split a Caesar salad as well as a Black and Bleu black flatbread. The Caesar salad is a classic and was very satisfying. Can't say it is special, but it is simply delicious. The flatbread was a lot of fun. It comes with olive oil, caramelized, onion, crumbled bleu cheese, mozzarella, and balsamic glaze. We added blackened fillet tips as our protein. My only complaint is I should've ordered two. The flatbread is incredibly satisfying and the beef tips were savory, tender, and flavorful. I went old-school on the drink. I had a 20 ounce Guinness, while my wife had a mule. Both were spot on and worked really well with the food we had. Everything was very affordable as well. Taproom is loud and feels neighborly. I reviewed it nine years ago and I'm changing nothing. I highly recommend a visit if you're looking for drinks and pub food in a classic environment.

    What an improvement!!…read more I haven't been here in a few years and the last concert had us waiting outside in line for hours. And hours. It was miserable. The show started late and I still don't even know what the reason was. There was no communication. But that was then. I was so pleasantly surprised when the doors opened right on time and while we waited in line, security came around and checked everyone to expedite the process. It was smooth sailing from there, absolutely nothing negative I could say! We had a front row spot, the sound was awesome, the bands were incredible. Great venue, cool disco ball, sweet lights. All around good experience. Hope it stays this way!!

Impossible for walkers and wheelchairs. There are marked spots being occupied by the tour bus and the other spots marked in the lot are for certain businesses only. We had a great time last night. I don't think they are enforcing the purse or bag policy. I got smacked and pushed around by lots of purses that were clearly larger and not clear. Aside from that, the air wasn't working properly and we were all dripping in sweat. Friendly staff last night even though they were clueless about the parking. Wil have to see what happens next concert and will report an update then.

Would order again. The sweet potato fries were superior to the homemade chips that were a tad undercooked (some not all). Both of these sides are a $1 upcharge, fyi. The burger in the patty melt seemed to be hand patted and not just a frozen burger thrown on a grille. You must order at the counter. Pick up drinks at the counter. There are about 3 booths, a few high top tables and bar stools. Parking in the front and back.
