The Vine

The Vine is a beloved wine and cocktail bar nestled in the heart of downtown Wilmington, North Carolina, at 25 N 3rd St. Since opening in 2019 under founders Randy and Deedee Hall, this intimate venue has become a cornerstone of the local dining scene. The current owners, Carrie and Jason Niloff, took over in 2023 with a commitment to preserving the bar's warm ambiance while adding their own personal touch. The menu showcases an extensive selection of carefully curated wines and bourbons, handcrafted cocktails, and local beers. Food lovers will appreciate the award-winning small plates, artisan cheese boards, and freshly baked flatbreads prepared by talented chefs who create seasonal menus highlighting the freshest local ingredients. Wednesday nights feature half-price small plates, making it the perfect opportunity to sample the diverse menu. Wine enthusiasts can join the popular Tuesday night wine tasting events, which offer expertly paired dinner and wine experiences. The rustic-chic interior features exposed brick, soft ambient lighting, and comfortable seating that encourages conversation and relaxation. Private event hosting is available for special occasions. Open Wednesday through Sunday from early evening until late night, The Vine provides a sophisticated yet unpretentious atmosphere perfect for date nights, gatherings with friends, or solo evenings enjoying quality drinks and exceptional hospitality.
