  I stumbled upon this place thinking it had some affiliation with the NYC bar of the same name (no relation). The beer selection was still diverse enough to make my stay worthwhile, and the main event kept me in until closing time. The room is giant and has great acoustics, especially once the room starts filling up with people. Would definitely recommend stopping here if you're in the Greensboro area.

  A nice clean, large room.  Good selection of beers.  The location seems weird to me, but I'm not from the area, so I don't know.  The parking wasn't very straightforward.  Not really any on-site parking and the street parking around the area isn't straightforward either.  I felt like a was rolling the dice on whether or not I'd get towed, but I did not, so that's good.

  This is a new location.  I have only been to the old Blind Tiger a couple times and I am not from Greensboro so I have no attachment to the old Blind Tiger like some locals do.  The new place is a lot nicer.  Everything is new and the sound in there sounds real nice.  I took a peek at the soundboard and my non-professional eyes thought it was pretty sweet.  
  
  A friend of mine that has been there said that it can get pretty packed because the capacity includes the outside balcony.

  used to go to the old tiger and miss the location across from walkers and fish bones.  but, the new one is a much better place to see a live band, with a much bigger space.  saw cowboy mouth there in june and the acoustics were great and lot more space to dance around.  my friend liked the outside smoking area, very clean i guess from what she said.  so, while i miss walking over to walkers on a band break, the venue itself is alot better for listening to live music.

  We've been to the new Blind Tiger now twice in less than a month after a hiatus of at least a couple years from the old location. There are several reasons why we are fans again of the BT.
  
  Those who are familiar with the old location at the Elam and Walker Street intersection, will remember a noble but very dated venue. Years of use (and abuse) had left it feeling dirty and grimy with well worn floors, bar surfaces and just about every other square foot within reach. The restrooms became an adventure in themselves and trying to get a drink during busy times was just painful. Just getting in was a chore with limited parking in the area.
  
  The new location on Spring Garden is a vast improvement. For starters, it is just significantly larger and more roomy. The stage is definitely bigger and the area for the sound board is logically placed. Along with the extra footage comes a longer bar and bigger, cleaner restrooms. There is a good sized outdoor smoking area for those craving a nicotine fix, as well. Parking is better though not totally sufficient.
  
  The band quality is at least as good if not better than the old venue and the new and bigger layout allows you to enjoy their performances more. You have more room to maneuver and dance without having to deal with a mosh pit. The comment my girlfriend made was that it now feels more like a music venue first and a bar second.
  
  As far as prices go, band tickets seem to range from $8 - $25 depending on the act and there is a couple dollar service charge if you buy online from their web page. Drink prices are higher than a bar-only location but significantly cheaper than most music venues I've been to.
  
  I'm looking forward to seeing more shows again at The Blind Tiger.
