50 Best Bars near Wilmington

“Food was good but customer service not so great. Our waitress Raquel needs to brush up on her people skills, smile a little more and not have such an attitude. I was afraid to ask her for more ice tea. The food was good, the ambiance great and I’d recommend but avoid this waitress.“

“this place is amazing, I love that it's hidden in plane view and not too crowded during the day. the super quesadilla de asada is the absolute best and can't be recreated anyware.“

The live music was fantastic- if I was a local I would be here more often. The band was great and the drinks made the place even better. Clean bathrooms, good priced highball drinks, good food.“

“Our church, Triedstone MBC, just hosted a luncheon for our leadership team. It was catered by Darrow’s New Orleans Grill. We were very pleased with our experience. The food was delicious. And the service was great! They arrived early. And the food was hot. The owner, Norwood, presented the food with a very appetizing description of each entree. Everyone loved it! Additionally, the portions were very generous. And everyone went back for seconds. At Triedstone, we do everything with excellence. And Darrow’s definitely met the challenge. We say, “Thank You” to Norwood and his entire staff. We look forward to doing more business with you in the near future. Sincerely Submitted, Pastor Quentin T. Oden and Lady Shelley Oden TRIEDSTONE MBC Carson, CA“

“The food was amazing, beer and cocktails were great, location on the beach was perfect, and the staff and servers were super friendly and nice! I would definitely recommend this place! Thank you for a wonderful experience, wish I lived here so I could visit more often.“

“I have to admit, I wasn’t expecting the food to be this exceptional. And that is because sometimes chain establishments are not great. However, Camille suggested a couple of dishes for us and they did not disappoint and in fact I would’ve licked the plates if it was publicly appropriate. I highly recommend the biscuits and gravy and short rib hash!!!!! Omg so delicious!! I can’t wait to come back for more!!!“

“Excellent service. Excellent food. Definitely returning. Thanks!“

“To John Hansen, My wife and I would like to thank you for such a lovely evening. Chez Bacchus represents the “True Expression of a Dining Experience”. Starting with the welcoming staff at the entrance. John, your hospitality is the beginning of the joyful experience. The restaurant is so elegant. We enjoyed the vaulted ceilings with wood beams. We enjoyed the large window at the kitchen area so you can see the Chefs at work. We got to sit next to the impressive wine rack display. The restaurant’s ambiance wouldn’t be complete without the soft background music. Our waiter, Issac, was a delight. He provided us with his expertise in choosing our wines, appetizers, entrees, and desserts. It was a pleasure to meet to give special thanks to the Chef, Danny Le and Su Chef, Donald. Their expertise is why we had an amazing and delicious dinner.“

“Great good and drinks. Great happy hour and weekly specials like Wine Wednesday. Friendly and welcoming.“

“Fun Karaoke with a cash only bar, great drinks -friendly bartenders.“

“Didn't have food so no rating on it..

We're here for the first time to see how it was. It was fairly empty. I ordered wine. They didn't have any wine, never been to a bar that doesn't have wine. Well, he said they were out. But okay, you could at least go buy some at the store..

Inside there is a pool table.. I think possibly two. It's very spacious, it's just a bad location because the parking sucks.. The whole parking lot has signs that it's reserved for some other business.. There is some parking in the back behind the bar, but it's not a lot..

The service was great. The bartender was very nice and cool. The drinks are not cheap and parking is difficult..“

“Just went to blondies yesterday! Saturday night around 9:30 pm. It's a nice bar! More standing space than seating. There is outside seating but it was taken up when we arrived there and it didn't seem to free up by the time we left.Age range is millennials, maybe some college students.Music is a bit loud if you are trying to have a conversation, but overall its fun! They got games playing and I think you can have lil birthday gatherings there? There was a small birthday hang out when we were there which was really cute.Overall, good bar, would come back.“

“I was in the area and wanted to stop by; this was on my list of tryouts and I am glad I did. I love a great cocktail, I strongly enjoyed the Orange Fox. Roman is a great bartender; he has an amazing attitude and makes drinks very well. I will definitely be back because I am a sucker for a great, unique cocktail.“

“Every time I’ve been at Black bar a very enjoyable experience, it has a wonderful selection of whiskey which I drink. They have wonderful, creative cocktails that I’ve tried and never been disappointed. The pizza is wonderful as well. Please try it. The ladies who run it are very hospitable And will bend over backwards to make your time there something to talk about. Very talented and charismatic bartenders as well.“

“Great local San Pedro bar“

“Taya was an absolute gem! busy as hell Steelers Takeover got served and kept us served the whole time! thanks Taya! food was great spirits were better!“

“The atmosphere is popping here! Excellent DJ, very welcoming people, and good vibes. The only downside is that it is a very small place for the number of people that arrive; no dance floor, only one pool table, and hard to order a drink because of the very crowded bar. However, it is a very good spot for the Black community and for anyone, of course. Everyone was so happy to be here. This was my first time visiting, and I am confident I have found a new local to hang out at.“

“it has been many years since I have been there but it was a great place with their three or four times when I was stationed on the USA USS New Jersey“

“This place is really growing. I went to their opening and since then started going to the weekly trivia events. It’s a really fun brewery atmosphere, lowkey local and good beer on tap. On the Tuesday trivia nights they have a food truck come. Definitely a great addition to the downtown San Pedro area.“

“I was invited to join a friend tonight for dinner and it was absolutely amazing 😍 The atmosphere is calm and enjoyable, it's beautiful inside. Just a downright great dining experience. Highly recommend!“

“😻muy rico toda la comida y muy buen ambiente para todos“

“Salt & Grove, located inside the Courtyard by Marriott, has become something truly special under the leadership of Executive Chef Giuseppe Musso.

This is far more than a typical hotel restaurant. The menu showcases fresh, house-made pastas, a tantalizing lasagna, flavorful soups, expertly grilled meats, and seasonal offerings that change regularly. Everything tastes fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and crafted with genuine care.

While you’ll find familiar favorites such as chicken wings and burgers, the Italian dishes are where Salt & Grove truly shines. The Pappadelle tossed with fried prosciutto and finished with a balsamic touch, is a memorable treat. The Bolognese is rich, authentic, and comforting—so good it tastes as though someone’s mother spent all day preparing it in Naples.

The quality, consistency, and attention to detail make Salt & Grove one of my favorite dining destinations in Long Beach. Whether you’re staying at the hotel or simply looking for an excellent Italian meal, this restaurant delivers a dining experience that exceeds expectations.“

“Amazing service and food!!“
