Owner Ray Baca, has created a dream space for any event planner. The walls are original historic brick, and the furnishing is clean and modern. My favorite feature is the raw feel; this space can easily be outfitted to fit any event. The venue is also unique because of the kitchen and easy setup space for catering. You will not find another venue of this caliber with this unique setup anywhere is downtown Wilmington. The central location is also wonderful if the weddings located in downtown Wilmington. I am using this venue to host a business owner's info session. Mr. Baca has been a pleasure to work with and I hope to host other events here in the future. Tuesday night is open house if you are ever interested in dropping in to check out this beautiful event space.

We used this space as our bridal suite in April. What an amazing space to get ready. From the bar…read morearea, to the bathrooms, to the hair/makeup room, to the open area for my bridesmaids to dance and do cartwheels...it was the perfect, relaxed atmosphere I wanted.

My family held a surprise party here for some of our birthday ladies and gents one night. The staff…read morewas so nice and friendly and helpful! We were able to completely surprise the birthday guests which was so fun! We were able to bring in food, desserts, and decorations. The entire venue is very fun- good lighting, great views, and a lovely bar with yummy drinks. Definitely want to return here again for other events.

I never knew this place existed until a couple of friends took me. This is a private club and I…read morecame as a guest. It is on the top floor (9th) of the building. I don't know what the building is called but it is on the corner of Market and Front streets. The views are fantastic. You get great views of the river, south side of the city and east side. The views are the selling point in my opinion. The place is small. There is a small bar area along with chairs and sofas to sit on elsewhere. Live music when I was there. I didn't see any beer on tap but they do have beer. Wine and mixed drinks available, obviously. The glass of wine I got was $12. Ehh, a little steep. The elevator to the 9th floor is tiny. Four normal size people or two bigguns. You can take the stairs, and I did going up, but you better be in shape. Not sure that I would ever buy a membership here but it was fun to go once.

This spot was a bummer for us. We were looking forward because of the social media post we saw in…read morethe past but it was lackluster. The spot is very small. The putts are interesting but for $10 a person with the space is did not seem worth it. Let alone they had 4 draft beers (for a sports bar we just thought there would be more variety) and they had a TouchTunes. I love a TouchTunes and both of the songs we picked were ended early and skipped. So all in all both another spot we will be visiting

Our hotel staff recommended this restaurant. I really wanted a nice and fresh fish sandwich. It…read morewas just a short walk down the Riverwalk. We went during lunchtime. The restaurant was nice and quiet.. the waiter was really friendly and gave great suggestions. The views from the restaurant was amazing since the restaurant is right on the Riverwalk, you have a nice view of the Cape Fear River. I ordered the fish and chips. The fish was so good! It was nice and crispy on the outside and really flaky on the inside. My husband got the calamari. He said that it was really good. I will definitely go back to Elijah's the next time that I am in Wilmington. It was a great dining experience.

Beautiful venue! We had our wedding ceremony at The Atrium. The staff went above and beyond for us…read more It poured on our wedding day. Poured. Hours before the ceremony I received a call from the staff offering to set up chairs under the covered section of the venue in case the rain didn't let up. Not only did they set up the chairs for us, in the hours leading up to the guests arriving they were sweeping, squeegeeing, and air blowing rain water into the drains to keep the area dry for guests. Everyone was so friendly and accommodating. We didn't get to use the traditional aisle and benches but it was still just as beautiful and perfect as I imagined. I could not be happier and guests have continually been commenting on how beautiful and unique the space was.

Great venue that becomes what you want of it…read more I went here for a wedding. It's a big L shape with a large hall leading to a central courtyard. The courtyard attaches to some interior space. The space has lots of trees and landscaping inside to bring nature into the space. The attached interior space has some bathrooms that were clean and worked well. It's got an urban rustic feel. Lots of exposed brick with greenery growing up into it. It kind of reminded me of where Ross and Emily got married in Friends with the open ceiling space. Fortunately the weather cooperated and there wasn't sun beating down on the guests. The long hall and open ceiling made for some nice breezes. We ended up eating along long tables in the large hall which made use of the long dimensions. We didn't need a separate dance floor as the courtyard served as that. The staff was very nice and attentive. Not sure if they were from the venue or caterer, but they did a great job. We lucked out and the weather was beautiful. There was only one airplane that flew overhead and not during the ceremony. It was pretty loud when it flew over during the rehearsal, but the ceremony went great. It's very centrally located to downtown, right off Market and 2nd. Parking is available across the street.

We recently had my son's rehearsal dinner at the River Room. Like some others have commented, it…read morewas very difficult to get in touch with anyone to confirm any details before the event. The venue itself is beautiful, on the river, beautiful view. We had a lovely time. I felt that I was overcharged for the projector and one speaker that I requested for my slideshow ($450, really?), but the evening was beautiful. One word of advice .. parking is absolutely horrible. Our caterers couldn't park close to the building. Unless you have a parking app on your phone, you need to insert $7.00 in cash into a slot in a contraption in the parking lot. I paid my money, and I still got a parking citation. I just pray my guests didn't have the same experience.

Great place to grab a beer! They have a lot of private events, so it may take a few tries before…read moreyou get to actually drink the beer. I do wish they had a taproom separate from event space. Service is wonderful, they have non alcoholic options, drinks other than beer, and a really beautiful atmosphere with all the fairy lights hung up. I do recommend, just keep in mind you may have to come back if they're having an event!

I've walked past this restaurant three times on three different occasions, but today we went in…read more The restaurant wasn't packed so we didn't have to wait for a table and was immediately greeted and sat at a table. There was a nice amount of menu options and drinks . There was plenty of dining room seating with a large bar area as well. The restaurant gives off very much coastal vibes! Lol, I ordered a crab cake and my son ordered the Wellington sub (I probaly got the name wrong). My crab cake sandwich was okay, but I must mention that it was big in size. My son loved the Wellington sub , the fries with the gravy sauce was amazing. Our server was amazing , service was awesome. The Restaurant itself was tidy and well kept and good times were awesome. The restaurant cuts right on the Wilmington Riverwalk and outside seating is available.

The second star is because one of my buddies did a great show here once, the reason I would've…read moregiven it 1 star otherwise is because whoever thought it'd be a great idea to do regular biker shows at this place can stick it where the sun don't shine. There is a massive apartment complex I happen to live in literally right next to this place, so obviously they figured exactly what we'd all want to hear right after the construction finally stops at the end of the day is a motorcade full of hundreds of obnoxious bikers doing donuts outside our bedroom and office windows accompanied by the raspy moaning of some D-grade cover band. I don't know whose initiative it is to turn Wilmington into some sorta Pender county biker destination, but it's about time to stop. Everyone who actually lives here hates it. I thought the whole romanticized biker lifestyle was freedom on the long open roads of the HIGHWAYS. Ya know, because nobody wants to listen to that garbage for very long. So why is it that they're constantly rumbling around every corner of downtown these days? Maybe try an electric car concert next time, huh?

Well, it seems that my PhD in procrastination has borne further fruit (or more likely, some fruit…read moredied on the vine!). Went to The Shell for the Beer, Bourbon and BBQ event some time ago (not quite in a galaxy long, long ago) and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The staff there were gregarious and very helpful steering me to the various venues inside (getting the VIP ticket was well worth the extra as by the time the gates opened to everyone, it seemed what was already a good sized crowd became reminiscent of army ants on the march... Still, a great venue with fantastic views and one that I will be looking for future events.
