Besides Lewis and Elm, and State Street Wine Company, are there any other places of similar concept in greensboro? Where you can just go in and order a glass or wine and sit and talk?
The bars at both Printworks and Green Valley Grill are both nice. The wine selections are extensive.
Printworks is excellent and one of our favorites. Green Valley Grill is nice as well but their menus don't typically scream out to us like Printworks.
I was a fan of B. Christophers the one time we went. White and Wood was also excellent when we went (don't get too attached to the menu though, it'll be completely different next time you go back).
On a side note, before it closed did anyone make it to Cities in Winston-Salem? Talk about a bizarre concept (not necessarily in a bad way). We were in the room that had a giant screen of skylines from around the world that it would project onto the wall (I think the bar may have had a smaller version of this too). Food was OK, but nothing write home about (menu was sort of like Chili's meets Mediterranean). It closed soon after we went... but I was hoping to go back... if only for the unique atmosphere.

CITIES will always be my favorite restaurant. Still can't get over that it closed. Was a very beautiful building inside and out! The projection dining room was a great feature. The bar had some best cocktails. The last time I sent there I had a Gummy bear martini which was just as yummy as it sounds! It was def my go to place to take a date back when I lived in Winston early 2000s. I don't think anything has moved in to it's location yet has it? Also Blu which is near by it is good too. Nice atmosphere inside.. Midtown deserty use to be another go to spot in Winston but last few times I went have been lackluster with skimpy portions... I feel like it's one of those restaurants that's is more popular for it's location then food...

Bleu was good the one time I went. I havent been back since mainly because i just havent thought about it. I dont recall it being anything special and seemed a little overpriced IIRC. As for Cities, I don't remember much about drinks but we were coming from Foothills just up the road so we probably skipped alcoholic beverages.

I finally made it to Printworks for the first time a couple of Saturdays ago for brunch. I enjoyed my meal, and the atmosphere as well. I want to return during the warmer months and eat outside.
I went to Cities once, for my mother's birthday. The interior was unique with all of the Skylines. I enjoyed my meal.
Any recommendations on a good casual lunch spot in Greensboro? Not somewhere you would necessarily take a date, just a regular Saturday lunch. Nothing particularly fancy, but nowhere that I would be among the riff-raff Places that I have never been, but popped in my head include, Kau, Scrambled, BItes and Pints, Lindley Filling Station, Freeman's Grub & Pub, Fishbones ..
I've been to all of those and I think they fit your criteria. (I don't know your definition of "riff raff" so don't be mad at me if you see some.)I especially like Freeman's and Fishbones. Have you looked at "Cille and 'Score downtown? It's my new favorite spot.

I've been wanting to get to Cille and Scoe and intend to soon. I see their chef will be on Chopped soon.
Another more no frills place but I've heard good things about is Chez Genese.

Chez Genese is lovely. I've only been once for brunch. It was delicious. Let me know what you think.
