    Outdoor seating
    Charlene C.

    I love how urban looking it looks inside with the unfinished brick walls. I love the corner where the steel chairs are hanging on the wall, reminds me of Spain. I also liked that the music wasn't that loud so I could actually have a conversation without having to yell. There is not much seating inside but there is outdoor seating in the back and in the front. It didn't look like there was any street parking so we parked at the Market Street parking garage. It used to offer the first 90 minutes for free, but now it's only the first 30 minutes for free. The prices are not that expensive, the first hour is a dollar. My partner got the banter bullet, and I got a mocktail they made on a whim. My partner wasn't that impressed with the banter bullet but I didn't think it was that bad. You can definitely taste the bourbon. Mocktail was good, a sweet, grapefruit flavor. This is a nice chill spot to hang out for couples or friends.

    The beautiful cocktail bar is a must a must visit. With delicious craft cocktails, wonderful ambiance and location banter is a must visit in wilmington My wife and Discovered this place on accident as we were walking by. It almost looked closed when we walked by, however it is in the lowest level of a historic building. The bartenders were wonderful and had great reccomendations. The 2 bartenders had created several cocktails that were on the menue. Im not sure the name of the cocktail the bartender made for me but it was delicions smooth and balanced. This is a must try

    Great bartender! Very informative! Quaint atmosphere. Highly recommend. Cozy extra rooms to drink in!

    Love The Banter, one of the newest bars in Wilmington, and having a conversation with one of the owners of where the name of the bar was derived from and the bunny symbol of the bar. Glen & Amy own this unique & fascinating bar with dark wood & antique furniture with a large stone fireplace you would expect in an English cottage. The cocktails are eclectic and exotic to the taste buds. I loved my savory salt & pepper martini and the bar conversations. Even on a dead night for bars, the night life in Banter got crowded quick. Definitely a go see bar in Wilmington especially for a whimsical & delicious cocktail and conversation. Looking forward to visiting this place again!

    A great addition to Wilmington. Went Saturday and Sunday for day drinking. Once with friends, once solo, and enjoyed both visits. Cheers!
