Village Tavern, located at 1903 Westridge Road at Battleground Avenue, is a Greensboro institution. Although there are locations in Georgia, Alabama, Florida, North Carolina, Arizona, and Colorado, Village Tavern has that small town, one-location feel. You sort of expect Ted Danson and the whole Cheers crew to walk past while you are having dinner, to clap for you when you walk into the bar. They have great specials, affordable fixed-price, multiple-course meals, award winning brunches, great food, and reasonable prices. The above photo shows the happy hustle and bustle of the main dining room, especially cozy on a cold or rainy day.

Sounds like a piece of living history.

I'll be on the lookout for one.

Oh, if they would clap for me when I come in, I'd love the place! That's a fun shot, and it looks like they are emptying their plates!

That's a good shot. Works out very well in monochrome.

The last time I was at the Village Tavern an elderly gentleman at the next table with his buddies nodded to me as if he knew me. As we paid our check, we overheard the cashier talking to the waiter about the men at that table, laughingly referring to them as Romeos--"Retired Old Men Eating Out." JTM

Very beautiful setting, with the lights and the real chairs!
The best part is all those people socializing - gathering together for a yummy bite and chat!

I like taking sneaky shots in restaurants and cafes.
