Nice atmosphere and a good dinner. Drinks and appetizers were delicious! The Dan Dan noodles were not as authentic as I was hoping and had more of a pad Thai taste.

We've been here many times, one of our favorite places for date night sitting at the bar. The food is off the charts, the drinks are great too. Though they lack Irish whiskey, their bourbon old fashioned makes up for it. Parking garage half a block away. Never disappointed here.

We arrived for an early dinner before a show. Our server was very attentive and patiently went over some of the menu items we were looking at. The nachos were good and spicy ! Fish tacos flavorful! Cocktails really good and refreshing. Fried calamari was good. There was a delicious strawberry shortcake over toasted corn bread. Amazing!! Highly recommend trying this place out if you're in Wilmington!

Great place in downtown Wilmington, nice location, great interior. Nicely curated menu of beer wine cocktails and spirits. Limited menu, but all expertly executed. Service was excellent.

Jazmine & Lindsay went above & BEYOND, I’ve been here once before and the service has yet to fail me! Excellent craft cocktails - Food is absolutely amazing, not a huge menu but everything on the menu is to die for!!! Great price point too! We will be re-accruing regulars for sure.

Everything was phenomenal! We had the dan dan noodles, Korean fried chicken bao buns, calamari, and guac/salsa. We had no complaints about any of our dishes! They were flavorful and the textures were right! Andrea was our server -- sweet as can be and had great food/drink recs! I will definitely be back here. Pictured is the two to mango drink, which I also loved. The music was also on point! :)

Amazing cocktails in a lovely space. Looks like a perfect date night spot or after work drinks. Already planning my next visit.

I was wanting to check Merchant bar out. I liked the vibe but the noise level was off the charts. Waited almost an hour for a drink. Food was average. Drink menu was great.

Food is great but unfortunately not enough servers (existing servers are good). Noise level consistent with other reviews. Reserved a table for 4 but it was actually 4 window seats so not ideal for conversation.

Mainly here to give recognition to Jasmine (correct me if spelled wrong) being an amazing and kind person. Your kind act to a member of the Wilmington community didn’t go unnoticed and this business will be first on my recommendation list due to this brief but perfect experience with our bartender.
