Vue21North
1002B Chestnut St, Wilmington, NC
Crema's Take
“Vue21North is a vibrant new gem in Wilmington's Coke Bottle District that transforms from a thoughtfully crafted espresso bar by day into an elevated late-night lounge and event space where the DJ spins, creative takeovers happen, and the outdoor patio buzzes with energy. The owners radiate genuine hospitality, the bar team is attentive and skilled, and they keep things accessible with rotating specials and a cigar-friendly atmosphere that invites you to linger over an espresso or creative cocktail. Whether you're stopping in for an expertly-pulled shot or settling in for one of their themed nights, you'll find yourself in a space designed for real connection and good vibes.”

The staff the night I was there was so amazing. They took absolutely care of me. I went during their Tequila and Tobacco takeover, it was an absolute vibe. From the DJ, to the atmosphere, and all to the outdoor area. I will go back again and recommend others to visit.
Great coffee spot and lounge area. Haven't had the pleasure to attend a night event. Will update when I do.
Gem of a new spot sure to become the star of the coke bottle district. Accessibly priced yet elevated. Enjoy the outdoor space, the bar (half off Wednesdays at the moment). Kick back with an espresso martini, beer, or enjoy one of the numerous food trucks gracing the venue.
Cigar Friendly Bar, Great Outdoor Space, Amazing Drink Specials, Awesome Atmosphere, Wonderful Bar Tenders, and All Around Amazing Bar!!!!
I happened to be passing by this venue earlier in the day and met one of the owners who invited me to pop by for their free tasting event. She had a kind welcoming spirit, so I chose to return to get to know their venue and its offerings. My timing was perfect enough to meet several of her family members. I don't know about others but, when it comes to the choice to support small businesses, a driving factor for me is the character and the energy of its owner(s) and staff. From what I could tell, they are wonderful service-oriented people who care about whether or not the needs of their customers are being met. They have a great vision for maintaining the venue as a fun safe entertaining environment that caters to diverse customers. The venue was clean and comfortable. The layout allowed for a good separation of the bar area from the sitting spaces. The main room is spacious with contemporary furnishings and an open area for social activities and mingling. There was also a special private seating area and outdoor space. They have many events planned and offerings to include music, hookah, food trucks, and more. I also discovered their intention for other types of community engagement. I am glad to see this venue open up and I think people will enjoy having another option as a go-to place for a good time. They had many creative drinks on their cocktail menu, as well as well-known wine and beer selections. Since my visit was during "spooky season" it felt appropriate to try the Zombie Apocalypse drink. It was a tasty combination with a candy-like flavor that wasn't too overpowering in sweetness. I classified it as a nod to trick-or-treating for adults. I wish this business the greatest success and appreciate their hospitality while I was there.
