I really enjoy going to The Bearded Goat. It's a fun spot with a great vibe, whether you're inside or out on the patio. The outdoor area is really nice and spacious, and the inside is just as good. The bathrooms are always clean, which matters more than people admit. The bar staff is amazing--friendly, attentive, and if you ask for a drink recommendation, they'll happily point you in the right direction. They have a full bar with a great variety of drinks including beers, wine, spritz, and cocktails. There's something for everyone. They also do a lot of events during the week--Monday trivia, Wednesday music trivia/bingo, and I believe Thursday is half-off wine. Fridays and Saturdays usually bring a DJ, so the energy definitely picks up on the weekends. Security shows up later in the evening (around 8-9pm), and they are genuinely very nice and professional, which makes the night feel safe and well-managed. Overall, it's a great experience every time. Just bring your ID, be safe, and have a good time. read more

The Bearded Goat - Pickle back - Bars Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

Last stop on our Sunday funday adventure in downtown Greensboro last weekend. This was my first time stoping into the bearded goat. A bit of a a dive bar, but in a good way. They've got a great beer lists, both bottles/cans and on draft. They also offer Sunday mimosa specials. I'm not sure if they have food other than bagged snacks, but I'm sure you can bring some if they don't offer any. Pricing was ok, and service friendly. They have a corner with arcade/bar games and a great outdoor patio space for relaxing on a nice day. I'd go back, and you should check it out too! read more

We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon after brunch and had a couple of drinks with some friends. It was not very busy at the time, but the bartender was attentive and had no delays in getting our drinks served. My beer was cold served in a fresh glass. There back area has some arcade games and the overall feel is casual . We sat on the benches in their outdoor area, which is open air and has multiple propane heaters through out covering several tables. read more

We stopped in here on our day, drinking barhopping trip and it was really on a whim. We saw a bunch of people going in and out of here and thought well why not let's try it. The biggest thing for me was that there was definitely some sort of Smell in the bar. Incense or air freshener or something and it just was overpowering. The beer selection was OK and the atmosphere was all right, but it was definitely a local pub and we really felt out of place. It's OK for one beer, but I don't know that I would hang out here for any lengthy period of time. read more

Love the music they play here !!! Casual, fun spot downtown Greensboro in my afternoon discovery ! Great patio but was too hot to sit outside , great communal table in the middle of the bar suited us just fine. Great beer and liquor selection. A lot of bourbon !! Great daily specials, Sunday was mimosa and bloody Mary's and vodka drinks. ! I got a lovely deep eddys grapefruit with soda and there was a mix of seltzer, beer, Bloody Mary and mimosas on the table. Great hang out . Very colorful and nice vibe. read more

Any new cocktail bar in Greensboro is a win in my book. The Bearded Goat is that and so much more! Great beer and liquor selection, bartenders are dope, and ambiance is the perfect balance of casual and eclectic. Convenient location downtown and lots of parking available. I recently got a citrus vodka cocktail and it was *chefs kiss. Don't miss this spot if you're downtown or better yet, take a quick trip downtown and enjoy a nice cocktail. read more

The Bearded Goat - Bars Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

This is a great little spot to check out. It can get very crowded inside. As soon as you walk in there is a basketball game and a mechanical punching bag type game to your right. This seemed to be a big draw, however I feel it could be somewhat unsafe. There was a huge crowd there taking turns and they could've easily hit someone. It also made it difficult to get to the bathrooms. They do not serve food at this establishment as it is just a bar. They do have a great patio area which is great because the inside is a bit small. They have a few patio games including a huge connect 4 game. Fun little place to stop in at, if you don't like crowds perhaps a weeknight would be best. read more

The Bearded Goat - a group of people at a bar - Bars Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

We decided to grab a beer /cider on a Sunday evening. Not as crowded as on a typical Saturday, much more relaxed. We had a good time.

Most of the staff was kind, however our party witnessed a bar back be extremely hostile towards a customer which made us uncomfortable. Then again, we saw him yelling, swearing and being extremely aggressive towards another customer waiting for a drink. At which point our party decided to close our tabs and leave the bar. If bar backs cannot control their emotions on a busy night then the bar should limit the amount of people they let in. Overall, it was an uncomfortable experience and felt unsafe at the end of our visit. read more

The Bearded Goat is always a stop on my bar crawl list, especially when hanging around Elm Street. The location is prime- close to Mellow Mushroom, Boxcar, Natty's, etc. Their selection is solid, the bartenders are always friendly and knowledgeable, and the crowd is normally pretty cool. Easily the highlight of this bar is the outdoor patio, which is very spacious and casual, with outdoor game options and a pro-dog policy. They don't serve food but allow take-away, so we will usually pick up a pizza or two from Mellow Mushroom and bring it over. They have a few parking spaces right outside and there's street parking opportunities all around, though on a Friday/Saturday night it may be hard to find a spot. read more

We love the bearded goat at revolution mill!! We have come to this location for both leisure and a private event and every time we come, the staff is always pleasant and professional and the atmosphere is never crowded. During the private event we were never inconvenienced by anything going on with the public downstairs and there was enough bar staff to accommodate all 60+ guests. We will definitely be back! read more

Great vibe and feels like your hometown bar where you are always welcome. Good bartenders and selection of beverages . I like the diversity of the customers and everyone is respected. Grab your friends and spend some time in the goat for a relaxing , laid back fun time. It's a great place for a quick stop or have a group gathering . Plenty of places near by to pick up food and the goat is accommodating when you bring in food. We enjoy the selection of great bourbons . read more

Fun little bar! The service was great and the selection was good! Tight quarters though. It's definitely a hole in the wall.

The staff are amazing and the business as a whole I recommend however the owner for someone being in the industry for so long doesn't know how to manage staff properly. He's abrasive, condescending and withholds earned tips. I'm severely disappointed I had such high hopes. I wish everyone there the best and I hope the owner can grow from this situation. read more

The Bearded Goat was our old stomping ground so when we were in town, we had to go back and see if it was still just as we remembered. The bar is still very packed on the weekends, with people from all walks of life. It use to be very much a dive bar, but has slowly turned into a hipster spot. Not that it is necessarily bad, but it gets extremely busy. They have various beverages, none on draft though. All cans, cocktails, and they do have wine. On the weekends they also do mimosa days and a Bloody Mary bar. They have seating on the inside and a patio area, and have a few games sprinkled throughout. Overall, it is just a chill fun place to go for a night out and get some good, strong, priced beverages! read more

The Bearded Goat - Bars Near Me - Greensboro, North Carolina

After hearing a lot about the Bearded Goat I finally got to check it out. I am a huge fan of places with outdoor seating! The outdoor area at TBG is pretty good. There are cornhole boards and picnic tables, but I will say it's a tad cramped for an outdoor area. They have a wide selection of beers, I chose the Bull City Ciderworks Cherry Tart. Also, TBG is dog friendly and they have gender neutral bathrooms. Overall I'm glad I checked out the bearded goat. read more

Service is rude most of the time. Management needs to keep a close eyes on staff. Staff mixes up tabs and this place is a must tip waiters place otherwise they'll yell at you. I love the music everyone puts though. Customers are friendly. No food here though. read more

Do you like bars? Beer? Good atmosphere? Nice outside area and a friendly bar staff? This is your place.

Great New local bar! Decent beer selection, fun atmosphere, reasonable prices. The inside is pretty cool, lots of license plates on the walls, exposed brick, old keys and a card catalog that has been converted into a wine glass rack. They have a pretty nice brick patio area out to the side with a few bar games like giant jenga and cornhole. The crowd my night there was a lot of fun. Would definitely go back! read more

This place deserves a 0. Employees, including the so called manager, were rude, disrespectful and inappropriate. We asked for helped numerous times and were given excuses as to why the necessary people were unavailable. read more

Nice downtown Greensboro bar with a cool vibe and a great selection. However, it seems bartenders are only interested in serving the regulars. I have been here several times, and it was difficult to get a drink. They really seem to enjoy talking to and interacting with some customers and not others. You want to feel comfortable and welcome after a hard day at work. Reason for the 3 star. read more

Good beer selection and location but damn the service is kind of shitty. Really rude bartenders.

Great spot for drinks. Prices and specials. Not once did I not feel like I was welcome. Spacious outdoor sitting and the bartenders were knowledgeable on possible drink selections for certain pallets for my group.Friendly atmosphere and a great place to unwind. read more

Went for Music Bingo on 12/8/21. This cozy bar had the usual selections of beers, hard seltzers, and spirits. Bonus for having a Make Your Own Ornament station. We found customer service lacking, but maybe because we aren't regulars. Although the bar wasn't packed, I waited quite a bit before a bartender came to me and when he did he asked nastily "You want something?" After asking if that was ok because it seemed he didn't want to take my order he proceeded to tell me it wasn't his job but the other bartender's. We also noticed regular patrons who had been greeted by name had their empties cleared but not so much for us. They don't offer any food selections but Mellow Mushroom is right around the corner Natty Green just across the tracks. Music Bingo was a blast. Pretty diverse music selection that kept everybody singing. It's every other Wednesday, but I think I'll try it at the Revolution Mills location. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE! When we walked in bouncer just looked at us so we kept walking.. never asked for Id. When my husband tried to go to the restroom he came banging on the door and running and screaming at him saying he can't hear and being beyond rude. Neither one of us heard him ask for our Id... we immediately left and will NEVER be back.. get a better door guy because from the other reviews I see he seems to be a big part on lose of business. Worst experience I have ever had in a bar. read more

Had a bad experience. Never going back. Bouncer was a jerk. We had friends sitting over the wall on Lewis St. We were talking to them over the wall before we joined them. The jerk bouncer with GOAT ball cap on yelled at us from the door that we should be in or out. We were, for some reason, not allowed to talk over the wall from a public sidewalk. This is a quote from their website. Clearly the employees didn't get the memo. "Philosophy We want everyone to come in and enjoy themselves. To always have a great time and know that every time they come in, they're going to be met with friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere.  We believe in the spirit of hospitality and our guest do too." read more

One star is too much. I won't go here again if it is the only place open on earth. The employees were rude and snarky. It was so shocking, I wasn't even sure how to respond. As middle aged patrons just looking to have a pleasant drink with friends who were greeted at the bar by nastiness, it definitely put a damper on the evening. read more

Little unexpected gem in south end! Great liquor choices, friendly staff, cute outdoor area! In my experience, there is a major crowd shift around 10:30 from middle aged folks to someone might puke on my shoes, but it's still a great spot. read more

The Bearded Goat is a very cool dive bar. Friendly bartenders make you feel like you've known them for years. They have an outstanding bourbon selection as well as a wide array of beers. This is a great joint to come to with friends - or to make new friends. The inside is not very large but they have an awesome patio for nicer weather. Oh, and dogs are always welcomed! read more

Small but homey and very reasonable priced drinks. Dog friendly with Nice outside area as well

Nothing impressive here, as I was hitting this place up on a single person bar crawl. I walked in and sat at the bar for 5 minutes before I was noticed by any one of the 5 bartenders who were all having a spiritedutes conversation about whatever, i just knew that I wasn't even noticed. I've been to many bars in Greensboro and have always had nothing but exceptional service from every other bar I've ever been at. I'm not hard to notice standing at 6'5" with a beard. Finally got service from one person and never saw him for the rest of my beer. Pulled that really giant beard guy (can't remember his name) but he was actually really all about the service. I gave him a heads up on what was going on and he apologized. That's all I wanted, but when you have 5 people behind the bar, and not 1 see's you or acknowledged you for 5 minutes that is a problem. Will I be back? Probably not, but hopefully other patrons haven't had the same experience. read more

This is a pretty neat bar with both indoor and outdoor seating, and a decent selection of beer. I came here one evening with a couple of friends and had a really nice time! There are games outside to keep folks entertained and dogs are also welcome, so feel free to bring your pup along with you. The vibe seemed to be pretty lowkey and it felt as if a lot of people were meeting up here before heading elsewhere. Lots of coming and going while I was there. The bartenders were decent and friendly and had recommendations based on what I was looking for, which was great because I'd honestly never seen/heard of some of the beers they had available (like I said, decent selection!) Given how nice the outdoor area is, I'd 100% recommend checking this place out when the weather is nice. I'll definitely be coming back come spring time. read more
