Greene Street Club
Reviews
Let me put this very simply: do not come to this terrible, extremely rude staffed and extremely sketchy club. I'll briefly sum up my experience. I'm going to go see my favorite band after waiting months and months. Despite me being polite and greeting the officers, they were all extremely rude to me. The first patted me down, which is understandable, then seemingly groped me inappropriately. I decided to let it pass, thinking maybe it was an accident. Then as I go to pay for my ticket, the woman behind the counter blatantly ignores me as I ask her a question. Again, I figure it's a busy night, so I let it pass. Then I finally get into the club. The sound was decent, nothing special. Halfway through the last band, however, I noticed someone stole my phone. I checked around me to make sure it didn't fall out, but there is no phone to be found anywhere. I decide not to let it bother me and enjoy the rest of the set. After the show, I look around the floor and ask everyone I see, but to no avail. Someone tells me that someone turned a phone into security, so I decide to go and check. When I get to the front desk, one of the security guards again blatantly ignores me, and the other two are extremely rude. They say there's no way they could find it, and they ask me to leave, despite me being very polite and thanking them regardless. As I walk back in to get merch, I pass another security guard and ask him about it. He says he's going to check in the back. I wait on him for 15 minutes, and he never comes back. Finally, I ask the last one I see, who just shakes his head and walks away. After getting merch, we waited for a few minutes to see the band, but security was again extremely rude and kicked us out for no reason. Needless to say, I have a feeling one of them stole my phone but isn't complying. I found the case on the ground, but no phone to go with it. In conclusion, if you want to be crammed into a tiny "club" for a show with trashy decorations, TERRIBLE service, in a very sketchy environment, I would say this is the place for you! Needless to say, they will never get my money again. Do not waste your time or money going to this terrible venue.
I have never had a good time at this club. The staff and bouncers are rude and harass you. The male security guard stationed by the bathrooms will come into the women's bathroom to harass the females and make sure they are not drinking. Another security guard grabbed my friend's drink (water) on the dancefloor and sniffed it to make sure it was not alcohol.
Amazing appeal from the outside. But the inside sucks. Went to see big smo there last september. ANd unless its him thats gonna be there. I aint goin back.
Decent place in town to catch a small show with local bands bit can become a tween haven and rowdy on a Friday or Saturday. If you have skinny jeans or wear glasses with good eye sight then this is your place.
After reading some of the reviews, I have to say, I've been in Greensboro for 8 years now & have been a patron of Greene Street since my freshman year in college. At first I thought it was simply a college bar but quickly learned that it's a WHOLE LOT MORE. They have multiple nights catering to different clientele (college, urban, international, LGBT) which many of the other clubs in downtown do not. Greene Street is also one of the only LIVE MUSIC VENUES in Greensboro which brings in national headline shows (with exception to the coliseum) as well as helps to promote LOCAL artists/bands. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR, Greene Street is under new management and the club has stepped up their game - huge remodels, new djs, community events, new staff/security, etc. They are currently remodeling the entire first floor to make it more accommodating for bands with a new stage, sound equipment, lighting, and bar. Greene Street expects a lot more from their staff as well as the customers that walk through their doors. I HIGHLY recommend Greene Street Club.
