It's a perfect place for after work drinks to wind down. The waitstaff will come around to you and are very attentive and friendly. I have not ordered food, only drinks, so I can't comment on the food but they do have small flatbreads that look delicious. I highly recommend the Fire and Flame Mule. All of their signature cocktails have been great but this one was the perfect mixture of tequila, sweet and spice (without being too sweet). On Thursdays, they have a margarita flight which is a fun way to kick off the night. They also have a full bar and beer and wine menu. Come for the drinks, stay for the sunset.

Service was excellent and the location is perfect if you're out downtown. Drinks were a mixed bag. The smoked Old Fashioned looked good but wasn't anything special. My Kiss of Fire had a nice spicy kick at first, but it watered down really quickly, probably from the ice, so it didn't hold up the way I hoped. Overall though, it's a cool spot with great service and a fun atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out if you're in Wilmington.

Well that being said, we had to stand- to find a seat- Drinks: I loved it. First night: I was actually ordered old fashioned but saw a dude sipping on pretty looking espresso martini- so I ordered it (also was tired and was getting sleepy trying to stay up ) so I ordered it too and who knew, I ordered the second martini- it was deelicious. Perfect drink to go wih, while listening to "Feel so good" (C. Mangione) , sorry I don't know the name of the band who played it. In fact, we enjoyed it so much we went back the next night and had such a good time. My husband still talks about wanting to go back because we had such a good time. If you're like me, who is not into standing but sit, sip and listen to jazz musician ripping on their brass, strings and percussion- recommend to go there earlier to get the big sofa seat in the front! We shall be back Tempo!

Great atmosphere, cozy and quiet seating, and just an all-around neat place to spend some time. The doorman was also extremely friendly and welcoming. There is a $5 membership fee to join, which we didn't mind. I ordered one of their specialty cocktails from the menu and it was very good. My wife ordered a Cosmo, however, and unfortunately hers was a completely different story. Instead of a traditional Cosmo, it was made with a very heavy amount of lime juice. It was cloudy, extremely lime-forward, and simply wasn't what she ordered or expected. She didn't even finish it. This is one of my pet peeves with cocktails: if someone orders a standard drink--a Cosmo, margarita, etc.--make the standard drink unless they ask for something different. A bartender's personal flair can be great in a house specialty, but it shouldn't automatically be added to a classic cocktail. When the bartender noticed she hadn't finished it, he said, "You should have told me." Fair enough--but once we explained that she didn't like the drink, we were still charged for it. That was disappointing. What makes it more frustrating is that my wife had been here previously and another bartender made her Cosmo perfectly, which is one reason we came back. Overall, the Blind Elephant has a lot going for it. The atmosphere is terrific, my specialty cocktail was excellent, and we really like the concept. We're three-times-and-you're-out people, so we'll give it another shot or two. Hopefully next time Martha gets the Cosmo she remembers, because we'd really like to have a reason to keep coming back. For now: 3 stars.

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.

You will not find another venue of this caliber with this unique setup anywhere is downtown Wilmington. The central location is also wonderful if the weddings located in downtown Wilmington. I am using this venue to host a business owner's info session. Mr. Baca has been a pleasure to work with and I hope to host other events here in the future.
