The Cloud 9 Rooftop Bar is the best place to enjoy a sunset over the water. The open air bar and…read morethe views of the river keep me coming back time after time. It's a perfect place for after work drinks to wind down. The waitstaff will come around to you and are very attentive and friendly. I have not ordered food, only drinks, so I can't comment on the food but they do have small flatbreads that look delicious. I highly recommend the Fire and Flame Mule. All of their signature cocktails have been great but this one was the perfect mixture of tequila, sweet and spice (without being too sweet). On Thursdays, they have a margarita flight which is a fun way to kick off the night. They also have a full bar and beer and wine menu. Come for the drinks, stay for the sunset.

What a fun and gorgeous place. It's kind of hidden in the rooftop of the Embassy Suites which is…read moretucked off the main road. Views of the Cape Fear River are incredible. Live music on Friday nights. They have a variety of seating options including couches, high tops, low tops, tables for large groups, covered areas, and bar seating. Strongly suggest the Fire and Flames Mule. Our service was exceptional. We didn't have a meal, so I can't speak to the food.

Stopped by WTF in Wilmington. Very cool place with a great vibe. Plenty of comfortable seating, TVs…read moreeverywhere, pool table, and even more space upstairs. 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.

Cocktails and live music were awesome but music was SO loud!!! The band and singer were really…read moreexceptional so my friend and I were happy to sit and listen to them while we enjoyed our cocktails, but had to leave after one drink because we couldn't hear a word each other said, even in the upstairs area (as far as we could get from the music). My espresso martini was delicious but a little pricey. If I were looking to sit by myself and listen to music, this would be a great spot - just not ideal for the start to a night out with friends due to the noise level. I wish there were a more secluded area we could choose to sit in to hear each other.

Well that being said, we had to stand- to find a seat- Drinks: I loved it. First night: I was actually ordered old fashioned but saw a dude sipping on pretty looking espresso martini- so I ordered it (also was tired and was getting sleepy trying to stay up ) so I ordered it too and who knew, I ordered the second martini- it was deelicious. Perfect drink to go wih, while listening to "Feel so good" (C. Mangione) , sorry I don't know the name of the band who played it. In fact, we enjoyed it so much we went back the next night and had such a good time. My husband still talks about wanting to go back because we had such a good time. If you're like me, who is not into standing but sit, sip and listen to jazz musician ripping on their brass, strings and percussion- recommend to go there earlier to get the big sofa seat in the front! We shall be back Tempo!

The inside looks really nice and has lots of different fun seating, including couches and different chairs. It was pretty empty when I came, so there were lots of places to sit. The service is where I had a problem. We came in at 10:50 and were informed that last call was at 11, so we closed out our tabs. The place has it posted that they close at 12, so we anticipated having some time to sit there. However, around 11:15 the bouncer came around and told us we had to get out. I wasn't even done with my drink yet, so I finished it quickly and we left. The bartenders were very nice, but someone should have let us know they were closing early before just kicking us out while we were still working on our drinks.

I love the theme, great views of the sunsets, and the staff was extremely attentive and polite. And a good selection of wines. I look forward to attending future events when in Wilmington.

Again great staff who went over the top to make my sister feel comfortable after dropping (& breaking) a full glass of wine! Natalie is very nice and I appreciated her introducing herself and explaining the concept!
