Review by Charles Wood of Gate City Blues
College Hill has been a staple of Greensboro for decades. Jason Paul has owned the establishment as long as I can remember, but then again, my memory is never good after a good night of drinking there.
Its location, at the corner of Mendenhall and Spring Garden Streets, is perfect stumbling distance for a good chunk of UNCG students. Its prices, especially on Tuesdays and Wednesdays when domestic bottles are only a dollar, also appeal to broke drinkers of any age. College Hill’s patrons range from older, blue collar workers to V-neck and bad tattoo sporting hipsters. The place, especially the boys’ bathroom, is utterly filthy but charming anyway.
It’s a great place to drink on a Sunday afternoon on the patio with a few friends, or you can go on Tuesdays when it’s jam packed and hard to move if you want to meet new, interesting, and highly intoxicated people. The bartenders are all nice and friendly, unless you’re rude, then they’ll treat you like the piece of shit you are.
