    Historic Wilmington bar with the best aerial views. This bar was our second bar on the Haunted Pub…read moreCrawl. The bar is located on the fifth floor. By the bar is an indoor theater where we sat at and had our drinks for the pub crawl. The creepiest place in our pub crawl tour was at that theater area by The Rooftop Bar. We used a tiny elevator to go up to this bar. There are stairs to go up and down the floors to the bar if the elevator is too cramped or too long of a wait. The server at the bar was pretty and kind. I was in awe of the views behind the plexiglass and the sunset over the water in Wilmington and the USS Battleship North Carolina. This is a bar I would definitely go to again just to see the spectacular views.

    Struggled with the rating. I could have gone 3 stars but decided on 4. The deciding factor was…read morehow cheap the drinks were. Located on Front Street, right in the heart of downtown. The Rooftop bar is on the 5th story of the building it is in. There is an elevator, but if you are a glutton for punishment, you can take the stairs. The drinks are very reasonable. 3 beers cost me $10. Not a huge selection of draft beer, but many others in cans/bottles. Bartender was very good, friendly and efficient. The bar is in the middle, with seats all around. You can also take you drinks to seating outside with better views of the Cape Fear River. One section gives you a great view of the battleship across the river. There are criticism in other reviews about the views, which I get. The Southside views are mostly looking at the rooftops of other buildings, not that they can change that. There are other obstructions they can control if they wanted which would improve the viewing experience. The bar is very laid back, with a mixed crowd. Recommend.

    This place is awsome, that dj they had a few weeks ago was nuts they need to come back, two white…read moreguys, Dual something... idk but the drinks are awsome with a fair pour and the vibes are immaculate, and the servers and service is absolutely stellar.

    WORST SECURITY EVER!! USELESS!! Let me set the scene for you... bouncer won't let me in at 11:58 pm…read morekeep in mind in two minutes I'm 21.... The bouncer was rude. Didn't say happy birthday?!? Bartender was rude even when I left GOOD tips. It gets worse... There are a bunch of grown men hogging the dance cage for about 10 minutes. I ask them to move and let me in because it's my 21st and I wanted to get a picture in the cage. Right?! No. They were so rude to me and wouldn't let me in to take photos. Then my boyfriend gets annoyed and asks them to please move. This is where things take a turn.... I was slipping down shots trying to enjoy my 21st. And... the guys from the cage decided my boyfriend and I were their targets for the night. Long story short... these men started throwing punches at my boyfriend. The security never saw it, never did anything to ensure my safety or my bfs. My boyfriend had to defend himself against 4 men. It was literally a shit show. We complained to the bouncers many times that we felt unsafe and were just trying to have a good night. We explained it was my birthday and we weren't looking for any trouble. I will never get to redo my 21st.... now it's a memory tainted by drunken punches. F*** this place and the incompetent bouncers.
