The Cocktail Captain (formerly Sauce’d)

I've been to this location twice and I've enjoyed myself. They have both an indoor and outdoor seating area so if you're looking to cool down you have a place to be but can also sit and watch boats on the water. The cocktails were really nice and the service was pretty good but not a place I'd sit and chat with the bartenders as a regular.

Stopped in for cocktails before our dinner reservation. Drinks were delicious loved the seating areas both inside and outside.

One of the most underrated bars in Wilmington. Fantastic cocktails for fair prices, jaw dropping view of the river with plenty of patio space and games to play, cozy interior and perfect nook to watch games and relax. Was lucky to meet the owner, very kind and down to earth. If you’re lucky you will get to meet their 3 sweet pups who will wow you with their tricks! Can’t recommend this place enough

This place was super unique and cute! It was perfect for a cocktail and snack while we were waiting for our dinner reservation down the river. The fries were so good and the drinks were even better! Such a cute in and out spot. I could also see coming here and just hanging out for the evening too! We will be back!

Stumbled upon this gem while walking near the famous One Tree Hill Naley table. Dog-friendly patio with amazing cocktails, along with a large selection of mocktails and beer! It is right on the Riverwalk with a gorgeous view. Worth a visit!

I am leaving the Food rating blank because we limited our visit to cocktails only (i honestly don’t even know if they offer food). Very nice location right on the waterfront in the downtown area. Great place to sip your favorite libations while you watch the sunset or just watch folks pass by on the riverwalk. There is a covered patio to keep the mid-day rays at bay while you slip away. Comfy soft searing eagerly awaits. Full bar. Lots of beer and wine selections and coffee too—there is something here for everyone. The bar tender was very friendly and the owner was a personable and likable gentleman who loves his little doggies. You should stop in for a visit. Have a drink and strike up a conversation. Ahoy Captain!

Sauce’d is the perfect spot for great drinks! The atmosphere is lively yet relaxed, and the service is top-notch. Whether it’s sunset or evening, the scenery adds magic to every sip. Highly recommend!
