👍👍 Awesome little place on Oleander drive in Wilmington, NC. Atmosphere out the wazoo. Has a great "locals" feel. Big selection for such a small venue. Relaxing atmosphere. Decent selection of drafts and wine. Unique in the area. Worth visiting!

👍👍 Alcove is a great place to come and grab some local beer and hangout with friends. They have a nice selection on tap and plenty of room to sit and lounge with friends. There is also another place in the same building called Mess Hall to grab some delicious food. Would highly recommend!

👍👍 My first time there was a farewell to my former co-worker and I had such a great time I took my boyfriend back the next week. Both times were really nice & food and drinks were next level bar food. You've gotta go and visually indoors and outdoors does it for me. It's a historic structure with so...

Brunch restaurant
👍👍 Always a great spot. Staff is super friendly but it’s always busy so expect a wait. Food comes quickly and tastes amazing. If you like cheese in your omelette definitely ask for extra or it’s more of an egg stuffed with whatever you ordered. Super fun breakfast cocktails!

Cocktail bar
😠 The big guy with the beard is extremely rude. He snatched my card out of my hand and then charged my card 3 times for one drink. Woke up the next morning with duplicate charges on my account. All of the males that work at this establishment wreak of a failed career or a failed life. Don’t ever go to...
