    Shut up & Dance (cocktail)
    Makaela P.

    A very cool spot to hangout with friends and family. My husband and I were visiting Wilmington over the weekend and we stopped by on a Sunday night to catch the sunset. They had live music which was quite good. You don't have a designated waiter as they are all floating around checking in on everyone. This is good and bad as there were lulls where they weren't that attentive and others where they were. Drinks aren't super strong as we weren't really drunk after like 4 drinks a piece but most of them were quite tasty. The best ones that we had were the frozen cocktails, drunk in love and sea & sand. Both come in either a glass or an adult caprisun pouch. Super tasty and when it's so hot, super refreshing. Bathrooms were clean. The only thing that I noticed was at night there were quite a few roaches/water bugs. Also if you're sitting by the glass railing at night they'll be a ton of spiders (big and small) on the glass, which I just about freaked out over. But others of course weren't bothered by it. Just something to keep in mind if you're visiting.

    Came back again like I said I would! We got here a bit earlier to get some food and actually sit down and experience the service. It was another Friday night and it was GORGEOUS outside. The sunset was perfect and the live music (Tom Gossin) was a perfect addition. We also ordered Cloud 9 Cuban Sliders with homemade chips and they were SO good. I was also drinking on the Great Escape Mule (peach Moscow mule) and it was really tasty. They redeemed themselves this time, and I'll definitely be back!

    While staying at embassy suites... you HAVE to go to the rooftop bar, cloud 9. The service is great, and the drinks are REALLY good. We had a pizza one night - DELISH, and a tri chip and dip app another night. Yummm! But - all of those good things take a 2nd seat to the views and live bands! Can't beat it for easy entertainment to wrap up your day before going to your room to catch some z's

    Cheese board and cocktails.

    Went for a girls night out on a Wednesday night at 7. We waited quite awhile for service. We both got cocktails which we weren't thrilled with. For $12 a cocktail, they should not be mostly crushed ice. We also got a cheese board for $19. I feel like that was overpriced too. If you're giving three spreads then maybe give more than 5 small pieces of baguette. I can't imagine that would dig into profits too much. Just really felt way too overpriced. Nice atmosphere but I don't think I'll go back.

    Nice place for cocktail or after dinner drink. Went there for pre concert drinks. A bit pricey

The inside looks really nice and has lots of different fun seating, including couches and different chairs. It was pretty empty when I came, so there were lots of places to sit. The service is where I had a problem. We came in at 10:50 and were informed that last call was at 11, so we closed out our tabs. The place has it posted that they close at 12, so we anticipated having some time to sit there. However, around 11:15 the bouncer came around and told us we had to get out. I wasn't even done with my drink yet, so I finished it quickly and we left. The bartenders were very nice, but someone should have let us know they were closing early before just kicking us out while we were still working on our drinks.

    I've been to the Dram Yard a few times for cocktails at the outdoor bar and have always loved the…read moredrinks and the atmosphere with the fire pits but hadn't eaten dinner until last night. The whole experience was perfect. We had to wait a few minutes for our table to be ready. It was such a minimal wait that I didn't think anything of it. Our waitress came over to our table, apologized, and said they'd be sending out their little gem salad and brussel sprouts. Both appetizers were plenty for four of us. The salad was romaine lettuce with fish roe and had a umami style to it that I really enjoyed. The Brussels were exceptional. I'm a big fan normally and these were by far some of the best I've had. For cocktails I tried the man of war and the ghost town which was complex and amazing. For dinner I tried the fish of the day, which were scallops from Maine with ancient grains and a small green salad. The scallops were rich tasting and succulent. My husband had the burger and said it was really good. The whole dining experience was exceptional. The servers were attentive yet knew how to pace our experience. We never felt rushed or imposed upon or forgotten. With all the restaurant choices in Wilmington, Dram Yard rises to the top.

I had the chicken and dumplings, which was perfect for a chilly evening. Everything that our group ordered was great from the market fish to lamb and burger. I was disappointed there weren't any mocktails on the menu because I wasn't drinking, but the cocktails sounded good. atmosphere is upscale and modern. Looking forward to going back to try more!
