Flat Iron — Restaurant in Greensboro

ETA: Moving this to five stars because the owners really care about their establishment, and the more I go there, the more I love it. Service has improved since I wrote this review.

New in town, walked in to find a house music event happening, which was a lovely surprise. Enjoyed the crowd and the scene, met some folks, and was told by several people that this place usually always has this kind of social vibe, tho is usually more live music than DJs.

I would love a regular house music night (tho not with a $15 cover charge), especially here. Really love the venue.

The bar was pretty empty when I got there but they were acting like they were slammed and couldn't be bothered with people. Another for the fact that they were charging $1.50 more per drink than what it said on the sign. I was informed they had raised the prices two days before.

After finishing our first drink I tried to get his attention twice to ask him details about the concerts at this venue and was ignored as I’m guessing he thought we were trying to order another drink and he was trying to close up. Very unpleasant experience. We ended up just leaving to grab some food and a drink at a place down the street. If you’re looking for a spot late to grab a quick drink I’d recommend looking elsewhere as it seems this place won’t welcome you nor do they want...

An excellent place for live music right on the edge of downtown Greensboro, and plenty of seating for folks who need to. The bar is well stocked, and well laid out for quick service on crowded evenings. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable. But, most importantly, the stage, tho a little small, is well lit, and the sound system on point, and they generally have an excellent sound person riding the levels. For live music this is a near ideal and...
