Stopped into this spot to grab pre dinner drinks with friends. For a birthday celebration…read more Bartender was friendly, and greeted us in when we arrived. The plan was to hit this spot for some karaoke, but when we arrived at 7 we were told karaoke doesn't start on Saturdays until 10pm. So that was a bit disappointing The space felt a bit Smokey, I suppose from years pst, but they do allow vaping inside which I wasn't a big fan of. It definitely draws an eclectic crowd, big age range and a lot of diversity in the ethnicity of the crowd as well Drinks are a bit pricey and they do not offer any food, though you are welcome to bring your own or have it delivered.

Twice now, I've been invited by friends to Gatsby's Saturday nights for karaoke and each time I've…read morehad a blast both performing for the crowd of bar goers as well as encountering endless, encouraging individuals while doing so. The "dive-bar" doesn't take long to get jam-packed (if it isn't already upon arrival), so if its applause and/or interaction with others from various walks of life is what you seek then look no more because Gatsby's delivers and then some! From rowdy college students to the fully-grown and mature, this "hole-in-the-wall" attracts them ALL every single weekend (Fridays & Saturdays). From the well-seasoned singers & crooners to the silly, drunken socialites just up for laughs, the karaoke microphone within Gatsby's never disappoints amusement!! But don't take my word for it! Come on down to this downtown hot spot to enjoy cutting loose with an always embracing, diverse crowd without breaking your wallet. There's no admission, the drinks are always affordable, the staff remains cool and collected, and even the security remains social! Parking can be a bit of a chore, depending on when you arrive... but I promise you once you're inside Gatsby's it'll all be worth the visit.

My husband and I had our 9-month-old baby with us, and it felt very manageable even when he got a little vocal It took a little long to order our food, but it did look like the employees were covering tables, hostessing, and making drinks, so I give them credit for managing the busyness. I got the BBQ pork nachos, which were so yummy!! The portion was very giving, and my husband and I definitely could've shared, but I was happy to have it all to myself. My husband got the Panini Club. It was on the smaller side especially compared to mine, but it was still very tasty. We can't wait to come back here! A chill restaurant with great food.

The Tap is hands down one of the best spots in Winston-Salem to relax after work with friends. From…read morethe moment you walk in, you're greeted by some of the friendliest and most talented bartenders in town. They know their craft, they remember your drink, and they make everyone feel like a regular--even if it's your first time. Shout out to Brooks too! He's a great addition to the team. The atmosphere is unbeatable--warm, welcoming, and just the right mix of lively and laid-back. Whether you're inside enjoying the cozy vibe or out on the deck soaking up the fresh air, it always feels like the perfect place to be. The deck, by the way, is a total game-changer, offering a great spot to relax with friends and enjoy a drink under the stars. Every time I step into The Tap, I feel like I belong. It's more than just a bar--it's a community, a home away from home, and a place I'll keep coming back to time and time again. If you're looking for great drinks, even better people, and an atmosphere that keeps you coming back, The Tap is where you want to be!

The bartender, Justin, is super friendly, always keeping up with the drinks, and the drinks themselves are half the price of the bar across the street.

This place is the only Irish Pub in the area, though there is one in Mocksville, and the one in…read moreGreensboro just recently closed. This is very much a neighborhood pub, and if you are not a regular, nobody knows your name or probably cares to. This place opened in 2006 in a down town area that was more than a little rough, but it took off, building a faithful following. COVID hit the spot hard, and the original owner closed the place in 2021. It reopened in 3022 under new management and seemed headed in the right direction. But recently things have turned very messy, with unpaid wages and vendor invoices, The State has several investigations going on at present, and survival seems a long shot. I have eaten here a handful of times and found the food and service to be rather good. The Fish and Chips (comes in small or large), the Celtic Chili, the Corned Beef and Cabbage, the Reuben, and the Bangers and Mash were are worth a shot. I don't sense these spot will be open much longer. A shame really.

Back here after awhile bringing a friend who wanted to experience Irish food . Fish and chips and…read morebangers and mash specifically. Unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations. Service was really slow, even though our server was really nice. No real atmosphere even though it got busier as the evening went by. Big blow when we were told they didn't have bangers to go with the mash. Disappointing. We went with the fish and chips and got a side of the garlic mashed potatoes. Also tried the scotch eggs. The eggs were actually really good and nice and hot. Served with a Dijon mustard they were probably the best part of the evening. Nice crunchy coating of breadcrumbs and sausage. Good app. The fish and chips were ok. Lots more batter than actual fish inside. Very greasy. Chips were not the steak fries thick cut like they use to do awhile back. We asked for curry sauce several times before we actually got it. As this is a must anytime you have fish and chips. They should just serve it with it. The mashed potatoes were awesome. Very rich and buttery. We ordered another side as it was the best thing on our table. We also had a round of vodka sodas. Standard good bar drink. I really hoped this would be the great pub experience for my friend but it wasn't what I expected. Hopefully next time round will be better. Hope the get some bangers in soon !!

Who makes someone scream from across the room? Even the people sitting at the bar were like, 'wow'. Clearly, he didn't want to wait on us. I just walked away. Too bad, my friends and I all worked in the industry bartending. We are all great tippers.
