One of our favorites, Will Hoge, was at the Flat Iron on Wednesday night... so we made the drive from Durham to see the show (and check out the Flat Iron --- which we'd never been to). Easy to find. Convenient parking across the street. This is a GREAT bar! The staff was attentive and friendly, the selection of drinks was pretty extensive and the room was perfect for live music. I'll be keeping an eye on their music schedule to find more opportunities to visit.

Flat Iron is always on point!!! If you love music and being around people that love music, this is definitely the place for you. Caleb is an amazing bartender with skills... cocktails were amazing. Johnny Utah, Negroni and Shot of Air are delicious, Great staff, great owners and great music. If you are in the area it’s a venue you absolutely should check out. If you’re not in the area, plan a trip and check them out. You will be glad you did!

Tiny venue, but cute and the sound is good. If you want to support local artists swing through

Great venue with comfortable seats and good drinks. I appreciate that they have plenty of non alcoholic options including THC infused spritzers. There is plenty of nearby parking which is hard to find in many venues in the area.

I helped some friends get a show here. We couldn't have been more pleased. The sound guy was amazing, everyone was friendly, and the bar service was excellent as well. Great venue and bar. Small, sweet spot in Greensboro.. hidden gem!
