Corn pudding was also good. Greens were on the sweet side so not what you would expect. And the little side of pickles were great. For dessert we had banana pudding it was really good. Real banana flavor not the artificial kind.

Ryan's energy gave us that warming welcoming feeling that we was about to have a good time. Definitely appreciated him and his hospitality. It wasn't packed because it was late in the night like 1hr or 2 before closing. He also helped us with the best drinks and food. That night there was a DJ playing music, so we caught a lil vibe , once we got drinks now the party starts. Lol! After talking to Ryan, we met Rob was really cool and informative about that infused bourbon drink I got. Maaaan, we had a great time in such a very short time with Ryan, Rob and DJ Chris. I believe we will come back again, but will bring a few friends to experience the vibes. Appreciate you guys on such a short notice. Good food, good laughs, great drinks and Vibes.

We went to the Terrace Theatre's special showing of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me for my birthday…read moreand wanted to grab a bite first, but I wanted to stay REAL CLOSE to the Theatre on Maybank Hwy. I asked my foodie group for recommendations and read reviews here and chose this place because they have a Sushi Ninja popup on Wed-Thur-Fri. We LOVE SUSHI! And hubs loves whiskey! Traffic was SO BAD it took an hour and a half to get to the Terrace from Goose Creek. Left at 4:45, parked at 6:15. Show at 7:30. This is why I stick close to home. But we hit Paddock & Whiskey and had the best time, great drinks, and excellent Sushi Ninja sushi! Best in Charleston? That's a high bar. But wow. This was excellent sushi. I ate a piece before the pic, it looked so good. We got the Nigiri Mori at the recommendation of the amazing bartender, and I also got her favorite gin and tonic. Local, very fruity and naturally sweet. Lovely! The drink was good too LOL Seriously, though, the Tropical Gin from Beyond Distilling Company is sweet and fruity-good. The Aburi scallop is not to be missed! I swear I got an almost Bleu cheese taste from it, in the most pleasant and pungent way. The A5 Wagyu was also a hit. The Bluefin Tuna, Hamachi, and regular scallop with smoked sea salt were all so fresh and delicious. It was all so good. The sushi chef came out since he was told it was our first time and was so kind and genuine in his appreciation for the fish. I am impressed. The sushi was gone in a minute so we ordered another round and hubby was offered a discount dram (or 2) of a special bourbon and of course he couldn't say no. It was worth it. The space is tight but that makes it cozy and sincere. I would totally hang out all the time if I were local. The outdoor seating is great, too. This is an incredible locals bar tucked away in an art theater strip mall with an amazing sushi meal three nights a week. Where do I sign up? If you're in the area, check 'em out! If you're on the way, be patient and turn up the music. It's all waiting for you. Would brave the horrific traffic again for it.

When walked in and the two bartenders were busy, no big deal, we grabbed menu on the empty side of the bar. We were set and good to go and just waiting to order. In the meantime another lady comes up to the counter and then shortly after them two friends. Both bartenders were ready for orders at the same time and they prioritized the newest guests to approach the bar, there was no greeting, no asking who was next, nothing... which if it was a huge bustling bar I would understand but when we walked up there was only two other two at the bar... both of which they were helping so it was very clear we were next. For the price of the drinks Id settle for at least friendly customer service. It's a shame since it's a really cute spot and dirt bag right next door has great staff.

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.

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.

Full bar with beer, wine and craft cocktails on the menu. No food.

Lots of Gen Xers like me, at least when I was there. Recommend.
