This was the third bar and the most memorable bar I went to in the Haunted Pub Crawl. The tunnel…read moreentrance in Lula's , an underground and dark pub, was part of The Underground Railroad, where slaves escaped to gain freedom. The ghost story told in Lula's was my favorite ghost story in the pub crawl. I loved how the bar was small and cozy. Tiffany was our bartender and she made me a classic gin martini. She was the most memorable and nicest bartender I met that night. She took the time to chill the martini glass as well. I will definitely re-visit Lula's bar again. I liked how cozy it was and it was like a hidden gem among all the bars we went to in Wilmington.

My husband and I decided to stop into the gazebo bar for some drinks before a celebration dinner…read more The bar wasn't busy at the time we visited & the bartender was extremely nice! He offered us the dealer's choice beverage which happened to be like a blueberry gin based drink- it was super delicious. The fact that it was only $10 was even better! My husband went with a bourbon based drink off the menu- he was also a fan. The prices are decent here & we will definitely be back to check it out. The areas around the bar with the fire pits seem like a relaxing place to unwind after dinner. The vibes are quiet and relaxing even though it's right in the hustle and bustle of downtown. We even have a wedding in October to attend that we may plan to stay over night here for.

Historic Wilmington bar with the best aerial views. This bar was our second bar on the Haunted Pub…read moreCrawl. The bar is located on the fifth floor. By the bar is an indoor theater where we sat at and had our drinks for the pub crawl. The creepiest place in our pub crawl tour was at that theater area by The Rooftop Bar. We used a tiny elevator to go up to this bar. There are stairs to go up and down the floors to the bar if the elevator is too cramped or too long of a wait. The server at the bar was pretty and kind. I was in awe of the views behind the plexiglass and the sunset over the water in Wilmington and the USS Battleship North Carolina. This is a bar I would definitely go to again just to see the spectacular views.

Struggled with the rating. I could have gone 3 stars but decided on 4. The deciding factor was…read morehow cheap the drinks were. Located on Front Street, right in the heart of downtown. The Rooftop bar is on the 5th story of the building it is in. There is an elevator, but if you are a glutton for punishment, you can take the stairs. The drinks are very reasonable. 3 beers cost me $10. Not a huge selection of draft beer, but many others in cans/bottles. Bartender was very good, friendly and efficient. The bar is in the middle, with seats all around. You can also take you drinks to seating outside with better views of the Cape Fear River. One section gives you a great view of the battleship across the river. There are criticism in other reviews about the views, which I get. The Southside views are mostly looking at the rooftops of other buildings, not that they can change that. There are other obstructions they can control if they wanted which would improve the viewing experience. The bar is very laid back, with a mixed crowd. Recommend.
