Not sure about late night coffee. There used to be a place on Tate St, not sure if it is still there or not.

this is true. and law school was the worst 3 years of my life (like...all that shit went down) so i associate greensboro with that.
i actually LOVED LOVED LOVED where i lived though. like 1.2 miles away from downtown on north elm in country club condos. i loved that area and the proximity to downtown. and i loved my condo complex. i wish i could have picked that up and moved it with me i miss my condo.8/31/2010 12:34:05 PM |

nope I'm good.
On a slightly different note: I have spotty reception with AT&T throughout the entire city. I'm not talking about on the outskirts or in BMF. I'm talking strictly within the city limits. 9/7/2010 11:45:19 PM |

Grey's is OK, very much like it's neighbor Natty Greenes, but not as well known, and the beer probably isn't as good. 9/9/2010 8:31:07 AM |
djeternal Bee Hugger 62661 Posts user info edit post |
Grey's is the best lunch spot in Downtown imo. The portions are HUGE, the food is good, and the prices are cheap. It's also a great spot to grab dinner/beers after a baseball game. And they have several live bands throughout the week.

Never eaten there. But then again, I haven't worked downtown in about 3 years, so that is probably why 9/9/2010 1:08:52 PM |

If you go tomorrow night Ray will be performing. He's the lead singer of Walrus and has a hell of a voice. And I am not just saying that because he is good friends with my GF. 9/15/2010 5:01:57 PM |

Anyone who is from Greensboro or has lived in this area should know the band Walrus. If not, they aren't into the local music scene. 9/15/2010 5:13:23 PM |

Location's good, food's good, beer's beer, and I'll probably be back. But as a bar it doesn't really do much, not a lot of character.9/16/2010 10:30:23 AM |

I've only gone for lunch, so maybe the dinner/bar crowd sucks. I'll have to check that out. 9/16/2010 11:46:07 AM |

That used to be my Cheers when I first moved back to Greensboro. Now that I live out near Burlington I don't get there as much. Great spot though, especially if you are a regular. Several of my close friends still hang out there a few nights a week.
Definitely an underrated lunch spot as well. I try to grab lunch there once a week. No wait, good food, cheap.
