    The Ibis is such a cool spot! We went on a Thursday and their special was tiny tini with caviar. Dim lighting, lots of records to play, comfy couches.

    Old Fashion

    Very nice coffee and cocktail bar. Very well decorated. Nice seating area both inside and outside. Check their website but I believe the bar opens up at 4:00 PM, which then means the 21+ age requirement kicks in. Even before the bar opens, you can still get some adult drinks by ordering from the counter. I have never tried the coffee so I can't speak for it. They did have a small bar snack menu. I haven't ordered from it in about a year. Hopefully it is still available. Note, this is in the Soda Pop district. You are street parking, Ubering or walking.

    Latte with in-house made Irish Crème and Old Fashion

    The Ibis Bar was absolutely amazing. We had a great coffee and Old Fashion cocktail in the early afternoon. Once we saw they had turntables and vinyl records for an evening of music, we decided to return that night. The evening cocktails - gin martinis, were fantastically made by the bartenders and the DJ was awesome. Will definitely be back when visiting the area again!

    Very cute place! Went on a Tuesday at 6pm and it was poppin! Sat at the bar by myself. Took a while for the bartender to come over, understandably so due to the crowd. The cocktail menu isn't my vibe but fun choices. Absolutely love the concept of buying a cocktail and having access to the grazing table full of apps!

    About a month ago, I met some friends here for breakfast and coffee. This place is like cafe order at the counter style. The staff are nice and patient when you're finally deciding on a burrito to go with your must have latte. The ambiance though is a stylish lounge! Cool built in shelves of records. Beautiful tall bar in the center wall. Def could be a monthly experience.

    Really cute place. The best matcha I've had in a while, definitely recommend. Fast service.

    Iced Black Sesame Latte
    JJ C.

    The Ibis Bar has a spacious, classy interior fit for a coffee date or nighttime drinks. We ordered an Iced Black Sesame Latte. We couldn't taste much of the black sesame flavoring, but the espresso itself was pretty good. We really enjoyed Ibis's atmosphere and their fun rotating flavor option but would probably find ourselves heading elsewhere for coffee.

    Kewl spot- good coffee- fair prices ~ very nice ambiance. I wish I had ordered my latte extra hot and they had more bagels- but ce la vie.

    Lovely. Excellent ambiance for a coffee date. Crowded and urban feeling- love it. Definitely coming again.

    chocolate croissant
    Savannah S.

    Ever since I had tried their chocolate croissant I couldn't stop thinking about. This means I HAD to come back again the following week! This time I ordered a mocha latte which had a beautiful latte art on top. The coffee was standard and the perfect temperature. I got the chocolate croissant again because I was obsessed the first time i tried it here. This time i also tried a bagel and cream cheese. It again was pretty standard but the presentation was key. I love the absolute vibe of this place. There were plenty of different people there either chatting, reading in their book club, or working on their computers. I am aware that they had cocktails too but I have yet to try them!

    The Ibis and No. 5 with a bullet
    Kristen D.

    We just heard about this spot and the idea of craft cocktails + awesome music (DJ spinning vinyl) made it an easy sell for Saturday night. We got there around 8:45 and it was packed. We put our name in, wandered to another spot never door to chat with our friends. It was a bit of a wait, but we got a text at 9:30 that there was a spot for us. They were flexible with us shifting to a cozier location on the couch so we in turn we're flexible a bit later when they wanted that area for a larger party (and we shifted to a small table). Service was friendly and efficient. Drinks were priced comparably to most spots but I'd say the atmosphere really takes this one up a notch! I had the Ibis and it was the perfect mix of strong, sweet and balanced. He had the No. 5 with a bullet (martini) and appreciated that they serve a small portion with a side portion portion on ice (as pictured). We had a great time sipping, chatting and vibing with the music. Even got a third drink "to share" that I can't recall the name - a tiki one with rum and gojuchang. Trust me- try it!! Spicy, a bit sweet and complex! I'll definitely be telling my friends about this spot and planning ahead for the wait when we go back!

    My favorite coffee shop! I haven't been at night when it turns into a cocktail bar but I love going during the day. They have my favorite matcha and it's less than $5 which is CRAZY good!! The vibes are always good and the employees are nice!

    The place is beautiful. But the coffee wasn't very good. Got a drip coffee and a latte. Service was not too friendly.

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.

    What a fantastic evening at Dram Yard…read more We were a little concerned we might miss our 5:30 reservation after getting delayed by a seven-car accident on the bridge, but we arrived just a couple of minutes late and it wasn't an issue at all. From the moment we arrived, the experience was relaxed, welcoming, and exactly what we needed. We chose to sit in the beautiful courtyard, and with temperatures in the 70s, sunshine overhead, and a gentle breeze, it couldn't have been a more perfect setting. The outdoor gazebo bar creates a wonderful atmosphere for enjoying a cocktail before dinner, and if the weather isn't cooperating, the indoor dining space is equally inviting. A special thank you to Sarah, whose service was outstanding. She was cheerful, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. The restaurant wasn't crowded, which made for a peaceful and unhurried dining experience. For drinks, I ordered the Ghost Town, while my wife enjoyed the Venus Flytrap. Both were beautifully prepared and easy to see why they're among the restaurant's popular cocktails. The food was equally impressive. I had the Spaghetti Carbonara, and it was exceptional. The kitchen even accommodated my request for extra freshly cracked black pepper, which took an already excellent dish to another level. My wife ordered the Little Gem Salad with shrimp, and it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We also shared the Tuna Tartare Tostada, which was outstanding--beautiful presentation, fresh tuna, and a great balance of textures and flavors. Adding to the experience was a bottle of Albariño that paired wonderfully with the meal. What stands out most about Dram Yard is its atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, slow down, enjoy a handcrafted cocktail, and forget about the stresses of the day. Whether you're looking for a date night, an evening with friends, or simply a quiet place to relax, Dram Yard delivers. Excellent service, creative cocktails, outstanding food, and one of the most relaxing outdoor dining spaces in Wilmington. We'll definitely be back.

    I've been to the Dram Yard a few times for cocktails at the outdoor bar and have always loved the…read moredrinks and the atmosphere with the fire pits but hadn't eaten dinner until last night. The whole experience was perfect. We had to wait a few minutes for our table to be ready. It was such a minimal wait that I didn't think anything of it. Our waitress came over to our table, apologized, and said they'd be sending out their little gem salad and brussel sprouts. Both appetizers were plenty for four of us. The salad was romaine lettuce with fish roe and had a umami style to it that I really enjoyed. The Brussels were exceptional. I'm a big fan normally and these were by far some of the best I've had. For cocktails I tried the man of war and the ghost town which was complex and amazing. For dinner I tried the fish of the day, which were scallops from Maine with ancient grains and a small green salad. The scallops were rich tasting and succulent. My husband had the burger and said it was really good. The whole dining experience was exceptional. The servers were attentive yet knew how to pace our experience. We never felt rushed or imposed upon or forgotten. With all the restaurant choices in Wilmington, Dram Yard rises to the top.
