AMAZING PLACE! Wonderful bartenders and the best bouncer team In Wilmington by far. Never been at a club and felt so safe and taken care of. Tori is by far the most amazing soul and one of the most thoughtful bartenders around!!! Everyone should go to the best club In Wilmington!

Make sure you’re keeping your receipts and the amount you tip.They will charge you more than what you tip, expecting you not to realize what they do.I will definitely not go here again, and the fact they have no number to contact. RidiculousUpdate: manager Clark got in contact with me, stated that i had the merchant copy of receipt so by NC law they can charge x amount for tip so it explains the charge.I sent pictures of receipts showing i had customer copy of the charge i didn’t authorize the amount they put and the merchant copy i did have was a charge that was done correctly.So obviously that shows bartender Tay Tay and Matt are adding more tip intentionally.Regardless it’s 1 $it the fact that it is being done.I wonder, for how long? N how many people?1$ adds up real quick , if they do it pretty frequently.Also, Didn’t appreciate manager tone with saying”refund you ur 5$ “as if that what my fuss is about.It is the integrity.I hope he does look into this and hold the one’s accountable for stealing.I am glad i caught this, as i use to work in this industry so i know the shady things bartenders do.Be smart people, don’t have tabs open and keep your receipts, always especially at Varnish.

Definitely recommend stopping in if you’re looking for a fun night club scene. If it’s not the music bringing you in and it’s the fun atmosphere the staff creates. I’ve found myself coming in weekly to see Tori on the weekends and enjoy a few drinks with my friends before dancing. Tori truly brings people into the club with her fun drink creations and friendly face! Check it out if looking for a fun place to visit downtown on the weekends!

By far one of the best club and bar in the Downtown Wilmington area! Different variety of music, every holiday they are always going all out to make the bar look amazing! The staff from bartenders to security are hands down the best out there! This is for sure a place to experience if you are to visit the Downtown Wilmington area!

Wonderful environment and very friendly staff. The security and other staff is comprised of some of the nicest individuals I’ve ever met in my life. 10/10 can’t think of a better place to spend my new years.

Great place with amazing staff and great atmosphere. If you’re looking for a nightclub on the weekends and a chill hangout bar during the day this is the place for you. Drinks are priced appropriately for the area and the bartenders work with a smile every time they are behind the bar.

Definitely one of the go to places in downtown wilmington, whether you like sitting at the bar, or dancing the night away at club just up the stairs, Varnish is the spot for you. One of the best things about this place are the bartenders whether it's Matt, Tori, Ashley, Alex or Joey, you will have a great night! Did I mention they have live music there all the time, and some of the best Djs in the area cause they definitely do!

Love coming here. Matt is always my favorite bartender to come see but every other bartender there is just as cool. The environment is very fun and friendly and at night time the place turns into a really cool nightclub. Definitely worth checking out if your ever in downtown Wilmington.
