Went to the Wilson Center for a performance, and afterwards wanted to go get a drink with my friends. Googled bars near me and this place showed up as the closest. So glad we decided to walk there because this place has such an amazing vibe, and everyone was so welcoming and nice. The wine selection was superb!! Would definitely go back and recommend!

This place is eclectic and I'm in love. Bring your own supplies and create a masterpiece! Lots of space for creating. There's also a guitar you can pick up and play, lots of art work and books. They even have Monet's Giverny! They even have an outdoor patio for live music, and Wednesday and Friday nights it's open mic for all us amateurs!

I went to Bottega for the first time during the Brooklyn Arts District coffee crawl and absolutely loved it! It is a cute art bar that is subdivided into a few different areas, including a bar in the front with outdoor seating, an indoor lounge further back, and a hidden beer garden in the back! There is a ton of modern art to look at, and the drinks we had were great. I will definitely be back!

Love this place!!! Come here often for concerts for local bands. The atmosphere and the art are both amazing, and super reasonably priced! Bartenders are super awesome and the owner is so kind and passionate about what she does. Lots of rooms, each one different with its very own vibe but every room is beautiful. Definitely recommend Bottega for anybody looking to have a unique bar experience in downtown Wilmington!

So happy we stopped by here for the Griz after-party!! The owner Addie was super welcoming and had the best Vibes . Cute little spot to hang out, backyard area with seating, no cover for entry, and plenty of great art to look at. If you're out for a night on the town, definitely make this venue a stop on your travels and say hello to the owner, she's super welcoming !
