The Blind Elephant

This place was incredible. For a cocktail person, their menu was amazing. In particular, the seasonal Cabin Fever was amazing. It was subtle and balanced with nothing overpowering the drink. If you’re into craft cocktails and in Wilmington, this is a must do.

Found this speakeasy last night and super glad we did! Great vibes, incredible alcoholic and NA drink selection, and good live music. Our bartender, Kevin, was awesome and absolutely held it down on a super busy night! 10/10

What a fun experience this is! The atmosphere and building itself is a treat in itself. Thursday nights they have live jazz, bands play, and they are wonderful. People will even get up and dance, swing, waltz, etc. been here for date nights, with groups of friends and girls night out. They have a good selection of drinks and service. The place is clean and overall enjoyable to sit and visit in.

Came in from California to visit a friend. Paid our $5 each to join but after 30 min and no service, left. One bartender for the night???? I don’t mind paying a membership fee for a place I may never come back to but to not get any service at all. Came in to celebrate a friend who past and just celebrate life and his spirit. Thanks for nothing! Wouldn’t even give us our membership back. Told people on the way out what happened and they went somewhere else.

What a cool experience! They really capture a special energy in this place! The seating is ample and comfortable, the drinks are well made, and the staff is super kind. Such a gem to stumble across tucked away in the alley. You really get the sense of discovery walking back to it and seeing the expanse inside of properly curated decor. I live far away but this has become a must come spot when I visit!

This place has a great atmosphere and they do the speakeasy vibe well even with their music adding to the feel. Drinks were excellent. Having a membership and or a fee to get in is a bit bizarre. My only real complaint is that they have a speaker right above a coach on the second floor so it is blaring at you yet the couch is so comfortable.

Our friends took us for a "tour" of downtown Wilmington and we were not disappointed! This speakeasy is one of a kind. Hidden in an alley I was a little apprehensive, but once we walked in I was blown away. I felt like I was in a Time Machine! This place has a Sarah of spirits. I ordered an old fashioned with Jefferson’s, and my wife ordered one of their featured cocktails. The bartenders are true mixologists! This is a Wilmington hidden gem!
