The restaurant I liked in winston-salem closed. My mom still lives in winston tho. There used to be a good bar in greensboro called the rhinoceros, but it's members and guests only.
When I'm there, we usually eat at Village Tavern, right off WFU campus. It's not great, but it's decent. Other than that, there's good BBQ down there, pig pickin's near the coliseum.
http://www.ziggyrock.net/ is re-opening. It was the music bar I used to work at, but it closed, and moved. No idea if it's any good now. They weren't a cocktail bar tho
Mostly, NC sucks, so I left.
