Great Beer Selection!
This is a nice place to visit while at the NC Music Factory complex (Time Warner Uptown Amphitheater) The beer selection is very good, the bartenders are very knowledgeable, and are very patient about explaining and suggesting different brews. Be warned though, this is not the place to go to get your cheap drink on before a show at the amphitheater- the beer is a little pricey- No dollar fifty PBR's here~
VBGB is a pretty big place with a nice big bar that has the frozen ice rail to keep your beer cold- nice touch, if you can manage to get a seat at the bar - It was crowded the day we were here for a concert. The bar is in a "W" shape and when you first come in to the place it appears kind of chaotic. You can go to the side of the bar to order a beer, but then you can't see the chalk board menu over the bar...Oh well~
VBGB does have a huge outdoor patio- However it needs some shade!!! It's a wide open space that gets cooking hot during the day!
No critiquing of the food here, didn't get a chance to taste anything. Come to think of it, I didn't really see anybody else partaking of food either...
