Twist Lounge Greensboro

We love Twist! Incredibly kind and welcoming atmosphere, super sweet bartender, inclusive events, amazing owner who went out of their way to help return an item we lost. Can’t recommend them enough. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

** 9/15: Alex, thank you for proving several of my points with your snarky reply - do you think it’s mature to try to berate customers for an honest review of their experiences? Not sure who Landon is, but epic fail in professionalism for a “manager” to call out a patron he has issues with by name **

Original review (09/08/2015):
This place is in a downward spiral since losing their long time manager. Bartenders and new manager barely old enough to drink, with sour puss looks and catty comments, talking to patrons about other patrons, etc. They only give good service to folks they find attractive or are in their clique and demographic. The cover charges for “events” are ridiculous. Come in for a drink at 7pm and have to pay a cover for show that doesn’t start til 10pm, then half the “performers” are lame, no shows or don’t even go on?! It’s a bait & switch just like Chemistry. Their drink prices are never published and never consistent. I can order the same drink every time I go and it’s always a different price. They changed their payment system where they hold your card behind the counter the entire time, and it is not secured and I’m not sure the folks are trustworthy with folks financial information - I’ve had multiple friends have to complain about being charged for drinks they did not order, and get their bill “adjusted” oops sorry. But it happens a lot. I think one bartender in particular likes to tack on extra drinks to cover what they & the other bartender consume on “break”; and to make money balance inventory from giving their special clique free drinks. They just hope that the patron is too drunk to pay attention to their bill. On a positive note - Sundays are still decent & the familiar safe vibe. Myke is chill, friendly, makes everyone feel welcome with a big smile, hearty laugh, makes a damn good drink, and doesn’t create drama. The prior manager really built up their business, and created a safe community space over the last 2 years. And it’s just sad the owners don’t value their business or customers enough to keep that going.

had a FABULOUS time. staff and patrons alike were friendly and accommodating and i sang my heart out at karaoke. before karaoke began (when regular music was playing), the music was so loud that i had to shout to the person next to me if i wanted them to hear what i was saying.

I went there last night, and couldn't have had a better way to spend my birthday! The atmosphere is wonderful, and the people there are so welcoming! It was just an amazing experience.

I am new to the area, the bartender and the manager were just so sweet and welcoming. Made me feel like I was part of the family as soon as i walked in. Super friendly and great prices. You should definitely check it out if you are in the area. If I could give it 10 stars I would.

So it stormed really badly earlier today. I was like, ugh, but I still walked to my favorite bar because well, dedication. Arrived at Twist having won the wet T-shirt contest (default) desperately in need of a drink after a walk in atmospheric humidity resulting from torrential storms mid-day. Serenity, divinely inspired as always, suggested I have the Poolside Pineapple Shandy. Thank gawd for it. Because now I'm dry, quenched, and ready for Twisted Trivia. And oh my god, I'm early.

Wonderful special celebration at Twist Lounge last night. PFLAG Greensboro celebrated 30 years. Great location, wonderful bar, service is warm and wonderful. So accommodating. The venue has a great space to have a band and a large dance floor. Outdoor seating is comfortable. Food can be ordered in.

Celebrated an event there and Serenity and the team were so great to work with. Great space for a band or DJ with a nice conversation area inside with couches, a pool table, and an outdoor patio space. Drinks were reasonably priced and we were able to bring in food. Looking forward to checking it out on a regular night.

First time here, DJ Chance was not great and the music was lacking bass and pretty quiet

Come here now and then and it's a great place to meet new people from all cultures (other countries included) and other ways of life. Most of everyone you meet here is really awesome to talk to and bartenders are some of the coolest you'll meet. Shout out to Serenity and Phoebe.

This place is very serious about making it accepting to all, and does not tolerate harassment or other bar shenanigans. You'll feel safe and welcome here regardless of who you are.

Just remember to bring proper forms of ID, you WILL be ID'd.
