“ Haley was our bartender and I have to say she is the best mixologist in the state maybe even the world! My fiance and I have lived all over the country and she is one of the best bartenders we have ever had drinks from. Definitely trust the bartender and select your drink!! A lot of thought and trial and error goes into the menu, you can’t go wrong with any drink you choose! Have fun and be safe, it can get dangerous! Miss fortune and cake cake cake pop are a must try if you like tequila! We will definitely be back! ”
“ Awesome hidden treasure of a social club. Only went for drinks,but definitely has Great live music, cozy basement vibes with awesome back patio. Shout out to the bartenders though. Never had quicker or better service on a crowded night than I did here. Definitely going back next time I'm in Wilmington! ”
“ Great vibe, drinks, and live music! The ambiance at this place is spot on. The drinks are unique and delicious, especially if crafted by Rocky! Love coming here on the weekends for a great night with live music. ”
“ Great cocktails, charcuterie boards, and bar service. They have really breathed new life into the old Dead Crow Comedy spot. So fresh and so clean! Not sure what took us so long to go being a local. Glad we went and plan to frequent. Go for the exclusive crafted cocktails. All else will reel you into staying and looking forward to returning. ”
“ This beat the Blind Elephant hands down. Such a great experience. We went with bourbon for the night, bacon fat-washed old fashioned and duck fat-washed Manhattan respectively. Both delicious, savory, well-executed craft cocktails. This place is definitely worth coming back AND bringing guests. Unlike the Blind Elephant - no cover charge. Thank you. ”
“ My wife an I tried it out last night and we really enjoyed our experience. The inside area has several very comfortable seating areas for small groups to relax and enjoy each other’s company. The outside seating area is just as welcoming. Our bartender was the best! She made the most delicious craft cocktail I’ve had in quite some time. Thank you so much, we will be back! ”
“ Their Hickory Smoked Benton's Old Fashioned is exceptional. Welcoming vibe with talented artists that typically start playing on Fridays at 9. Don't pass up on a great spot, you will not be disappointed. ”
“ I just feel lucky that I came in here. The Underfront Co is one of my favorite craft cocktail bars I have been to anywhere. Kinda dark but has a great friendly vibe. Who has three different fat washed bourbons on the drink menu? Underfront does. They have an extensive list of house creations and the drinks we had were fantastic. I don’t remember our bartender’s name but he was happy to talk shop and was filled with knowledge. When he found out we didn’t know where we were going to eat he gave us a great recommendation for what turned out to be a fantastic restaurant. Can’t wait to get back to Wilmington and will always drop in here when I do. ”
