“Voted best new restaurant in Greensboro, North Carolina”
If you are familiar with Spring Garden St. you know that there are a ton of awesome restaurants, coffee shops, diners, and bars. Nestled right next to Hop’s Burger bar and Scrambled Southern Diner is Bites and Pints Gastro Pub who recently celebrated their first year in business and voted #1 best new restaurant in Greensboro.
How cool is that?
If you don’t know already, opening a restaurant is no easy task.
Finding the perfect location, creating your concept/menu, hiring the right staff and competing with a ton of other restaurants are just a few things you must “get right”.
This bar and restaurant got it right!
I have visited the restaurant probably 15 times and have tried almost everything on their menu. I have yet to be disappointed.
Bites and Pints Gastro Pub is currently owned and managed by Kris Fuller and Mike Bosco. Kris fuller is no stranger in Greensboro and is well recognized in the community for her three crafted locations as well as having been involved in several other consulting projects for restaurants in the community and outside of North Carolina.
Mike told me “he wouldn’t have been able to do this without her” and that one of his favorite go-to restaurants in the triad (he wasn’t allowed to choose his own) was the new Crafted that she opened downtown.
Bosco mentioned that they looked at many locations however none of them felt right until the former “fat dogs” location became available. “It was perfect,” he said. He contacted Kris and they began putting together their business plan which is now Bites and Pints Gastro Pub.
I asked him if he had one piece of advice for someone looking to open a restaurant/bar in the future, what it would be? He said “Make sure you have restaurant experience. Too many people try to open a bar or restaurant and have no idea how to run a bar or restaurant”.
Bites and Pints is one of my new favorite restaurants in the area. The food is CONSISTENTLY excellent, pricing is more than reasonable and the service has never disappointed. If you haven’t checked them out you should! No seriously what are you waiting for?!
The green chili burger is EXCELLENT and I always get tater tots as a side with the spicy ranch.
