Loved this place so much I couldn’t stay away!  A great little cocktail and french fry shop right on the water.  Don’t worry, if it’s raining, their inside is quite nice too! 

 

224 S Water St #1g, Wilmington, NC 28401

The Digs:

This place is super hip and pretty. Very clean with fun art on the walls. A large bar inside and a great patio outside overlooking the water. Bathrooms are single rooms open to anyone, including aliens according to the sign. 

We loved this place so much we went three times while we were in Wilmington. 

 

The Grub: 

This is a cocktail and french fry bar. I tried just about every cocktail on their menu and you can’t go wrong with any of them. Gin and Juice will get you a fancy smoke bubble on the top which was a lot of fun. Their LIT is served in a lightbulb. Lots of fun drinks here, but they’re not just fancy looking, they taste good too and are put together with a lot of thought.  

I hesitated to try the fries because I figured they wouldn’t be great, (and I’m picky about my fries) but after the 3rd visit I figured why not. I’m glad I did because they were pretty good and they came with fun dipping sauces. They were a great snack with a cocktail.

 

The Service:

Every server we had was fantastic. They were all helpful and nice. They seemed like they enjoyed working there and gave a lot of thought to each drink they prepared, making sure it was just right.
