With 3 sofas I believe, sofa chairs, a great sized bar area and a gd size patio space in the back with a huge big screen TV and games, though we did not go out there.

Beautiful venue, the only downside it seems like they keep forcing more chairs into the fix and it makes it difficult to get up, go to the bathroom, get another drink etc, other than that I highly recommend it and get there early do not be ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE that waits till the last second, seating is already tight and now you want to bring your P\part of 4 in and try to find seating. I Love this place and foresee one day they will have to move to accommodate but right now it is a great place to hear GREAT MUSIC!

An NC native I've been listening to since before I left California. Teds is a cozy and unassuming venue. I almost walked past it because it looks just like a cute little house. Inside the venue is seating for 50 people or slightly more. I got adopted by a group I spoke to outside and chose a seat right in the middle. The acoustics were perfect and the the show was excellent. I felt like I should have paid at least 3x as much as I did. This is my new favorite small venue.

The bar is primarily bottled beer and hard liquor. Don't come here expecting craft cocktails and draft beer. There is normally a cover for the music. The band playing when I was here as pretty good. No wait service so expect to fight for a drink at the bar. Just wave them down and place your order. Drink prices are very reasonable. They have some private parking. Get there early if you want a parking spot and a seat inside.

Service was excellent and the location is perfect if you're out downtown. Drinks were a mixed bag. The smoked Old Fashioned looked good but wasn't anything special. My Kiss of Fire had a nice spicy kick at first, but it watered down really quickly, probably from the ice, so it didn't hold up the way I hoped. Overall though, it's a cool spot with great service and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Wilmington.

This was our first time attending a concert at Live Oak Bank Pavilion, and overall, it was a decent…read moreexperience. Due to bad weather, we had to wait quite a while before they opened the gates. While I understand and appreciate the concern for safety--for both the performers and the audience--it was disappointing that there were no ponchos offered or covered areas provided for those waiting in line. Standing in the rain without shelter was definitely a turn-off. On a positive note, I give high praise to the performers. Despite the delay, they stayed and played, showing real dedication and professionalism--definitely not a bunch of divas. The lineup featuring Little Stranger, Iration, and Slightly Stoopid was fantastic, and their performances made the wait a little more bearable. As for the venue itself, the staff were organized, and EMS/Fire personnel were very visible and actively engaged, which added a sense of safety and security. The bathrooms were relatively clean and well-stocked, with two staff members assisting women with stall availability and supplies. However, the line was extremely long--possibly because there was only one restroom area with 24 stalls for the entire venue. If that's the case, it's definitely an area that needs improvement. All in all, it was a good experience, but the long wait to get inside due to weather--with no accommodations--brings my rating down to 3 stars.
