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!

I attended an opening for the new art display at the Continental Club Gallery recently. It was my…read morefirst time visiting this spot in Greensboro, and it was a fun time. 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.

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.

Conveniently located and in walking distance of several other hot spots in the area, including popular restaurants, Tate's offers an at-home vibe where I'm told you can lounge for hours and never grow tired of it. It makes sense why. The cocktails are delicious and made with care. The skilled bartenders clearly put a lot of heart and love into each concoction. I was lucky enough to try each item on the seasonal menu and trust me, you'll have a difficult time choosing. But don't let that deter you! These folks are friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. They'll gladly you give you a tasty rec! Huge shoutout to Seth and Co for making our group feel welcome! Can't wait to come back. Parking is street or lot, whatever you can find. Prices are comparable with other cocktail bars. Highly recommend!

What a fun spot to visit while in town! My girlfriend had been wanting to try it, so we took the…read moreopportunity while I was staying with her this week. We did make reservations for a Monday night, though it wasn't busy at all, so you could probably swing by on a whim should you want to during the week. The place was a bit elusive to find, as you have to look for the '3 dot sign' with a staff member guarding the door, which I'm sure is the intent! Once you enter, you walk down a long, candlelit hall, which sets the speakeasy mood right away. Upon entering, the classic speakeasy vibe hits you! Dim lighting, leather chairs, a beautiful bar stocked to the brim with whiskey, bourbon, scotch, and all the other good things you would expect to find in a place that prides itself on great cocktails. It certainly set the mood and got us ready to have an experience. The mixologists were welcoming and informative. I enjoyed my first drink, which was suggested based on my personal preferences in taste. It was a spin off a classic, and I really enjoyed it. Sort of like a cross of a penicillin and a whiskey sour. [The Never Ending Story]. My friend had the clarified punch since we had similar things we've loved in the past. It was slightly sweet, smooth, and easy to sip. We decided to just get some classics since the cocktail menu felt more like just off shots of other classics we love. They were both excluded well! But the thing that really blew us away was the food! I was really pleased with this portion of our evening! We had the crispy Brussels sprouts, and they were the best BSs I've ever had! I thought we'd take some home, but that did not happen! My friend got the Mushroom Casarecce. It was creamy and delicious! The beef carpaccio was also really nice. Overall, we had a nice night, and it was a fun experience to be had!

The food is not the cheapest but I do feel you get what you pay for. The charcuterie and potato dish is delicious.

Great for date nights or if you want to take visitors somewhere unique this is the spot.

For our anniversary this past April, we decided to return to Barrel & Fork in Cornelius because our…read morefirst visit a few years ago had been genuinely memorable. Oh, how the mighty have fallen. Despite having reservations, the arrival and seating process felt disorganized. Our server was very friendly and sweet, but she was also somewhat aloof, rarely checked on us, and didn't seem particularly knowledgeable about the kitchen or menu. She mentioned at least five times that they had a new chef and that the menu had become "eclectic." In retrospect, that should have been a warning. Unfortunately, we did not have a single item of food that we would order again. At this price point, that is unacceptable--especially when outstanding premium restaurants such as Seaboy are literally just down the road. We started with a fried rice-ball appetizer and a mozzarella plate. Both desperately needed seasoning and were surprisingly bland. My Caesar salad was tiny, limp, and somehow almost entirely flavorless. My wife ordered a fried game-bird entrée--quail, if I remember correctly. I can't say exactly what went wrong in the kitchen, but the coating had the stale-oil flavor of McDonald's fries discovered three months too late. The accompanying sauce was murky, visually unappealing, and did absolutely nothing to rescue the dish. I love fried chicken, and even I couldn't eat hers. When our server cleared the plate, approximately 95% of the entrée was still sitting there. The server asked if my wife didn't like it, and she commented that it was not very good and explained why, yet they did not offer to make any changes or even discount that part of the bill which felt like a significant missed opportunity to address an obviously unsuccessful dish. I ordered the trout. Even allowing for the smaller portions common at upscale restaurants, it was one of the smallest entrées I have ever been served. Unfortunately, it didn't deliver enough flavor or refinement to make up for its size. By the time dessert was offered, we had no interest in spending more money after being disappointed by the appetizers, salads, and entrées. The beautiful historic home, atmosphere, and front-porch dining remain fantastic. Sadly, the food and overall experience no longer lived up to that wonderful setting. Our first visit was mind-blowing. This visit ensured that we won't return. Unless a massive sign appears out front announcing new management, a new chef, new staff, and an entirely new everything, we will spend our future anniversary dinners elsewhere. To those about to nosh, you have been warned.
