The new Pravda Cafe has what you need! I did 4 hours of computer work in a booth, socially distanced from other tables. Drank good coffee, had a plug in for my computer, free WiFi, excellent beats, and left without smelling like I work at a coffee shop! Highly recommend!

Staff is rude.Unclean environment.Poorly made drinks.The young college crowd keeps this place going but any decent person will go elsewhere.

Stay away from this club. My friends and I were hesitant to visit this club because we had heard that the bouncers were strict, overbearing, and violent. Our first and last experience there affirmed that those statements are true.Here is what happened:We entered the club and danced for three hours, and I even saw some friends that I hadnt seen in years. All was fine up until the point I decided to stop dancing. It was nearing 1:00 a.m., and I was tired so I went to sit down near the back of the club. I was completely minding my own business (just resting there), and then I hear someone say youve got to get up, youre causing problems. So, I got up and went back to the dance floor. I was at the dance floor and I felt that I was being pushed from behind. I knew that I hadnt done anything wrong; I had just been sitting at a table propping up my head with my hands to rest a little. So, I turned around to ask why I was being kicked out. I was half way to the front door from the back of the club when I decided to turn and ask. I never received an answer, instead, he turned me around and put me in a CHOKE HOLD! I passed out briefly and woke up on the sidewalk outside of the club in a pool of blood. By the time an ambulance arrived I was quite literally drenched in blood. Whoever the bouncer was, was so negligent that he hit my head against something attempting to carry me out out of the venue in a full nelson with my feet dragging behind (my friend saw this and told me outside of the club). I went to the ER and got three stitches, and now I have a scar right next to my temple.Please consider my story before you go to this club. I ignored the stories in the negative reviews, and thought that something like that would never happen to me. The bouncers really are thugs. Just dont go to this club. No one deserves to be treated like that, and it really is disgusting that this is a reoccurring problem that the owner, Dustin Cook, will not fix.

The workers are nice. The music and crowd wasn’t my type but with a couple of drinks everything was fun and I made it my type. The crowd is friendly and full of decent-attractive people.

Bartenders were very cool. People here were very cool too. Music was good, but thats subjective. My issue?. I got thrown out of my first visit. I had a few martinis. I wasnt disturbing the staff, or the other patrons, but as I came out of the bathroom, I was grabbed by my jacket and told to leave immediately. Had to ask multiple times to close my tab and pay the place for my drinks. Im not sure if I will be returning, but based on that experience alone, the answer is looking like no

I see all these reviews about the bouncers being thugs, which I didnt believe... until my second visit. First visit was fine. On the second visit, a young woman decides to put her hands on me and shove me as I was walking by to go to the bathroom. I wasnt touching her or looking at her. I swipe her hands off me and tell her not to touch me. I then walk away and this thug of an employee decides to grab me by the neck and shove me out... after I repeatedly said get your hands off me, Im leaving, as I walk towards the door. Im never going back there. Go to Ibiza or someplace chill... not this place full of thugs.

Did not enjoy this club at all. The bouncers are extremely strict, almost making it unenjoyable. This place also attracts a lot of hyper masculine guys who wont leave you alone and that will not hesitate to grab you, but security doesnt seem to care much about that! Theyd rather threaten to kick you out over taking off your Xs. The dance floor is tiny and the music wasnt good. Will not be returning.

Great spot in downtown Wilmington! The staff are all awesome and do a great job. Best music, and drinks as well. Always a stop when downtown. Bartender Jamie- not only beautiful but down right awesome! All the staff go above and beyond!

Literally I don’t know where to start. The door guys were straight thugs and had attitudes before I ever even said anything to them but handed my ID over. My friend who’s 21 only paid $5 to get in while I turn 21 in months and had to pay $20 to get in. The “dance floor” is about 10 feet by 10 feet and no one was actually dancing to the music more like standing around being drunk people. “Wash it off you’re out, take a drink you’re out.” Lmao you are welcome for my service though. Never even considering coming back to this place. Not worth the money literally left within 15 minutes of being inside and my friend told the bouncer how amazing his place is on the way out.

Lol havent even been to this place yet but in reading the reviews to see how it is, seems ok but then i read the respones to bad reviews and im sure they will be just as confused by my review as they are all others. The place seems better than expected for north carolina but the nasty attitude from the people who run a business responding to their customers with such poor attitude is really concerning and makes me not even want to waste my time let alone my money.

Absolutely awful. Security is straight awful if you know what I mean. Dont go to this club.*update December 18 2018* In response to your reply, no actually I wasnt even allowed in your club after my six friends that were girls went in and you knew I was with them. Your discriminatory, rude, and many other words staff, wouldnt let me in for no reason. But yeah yall knew what you were doing by letting them in and not me. Appreciate your response though

Charged me $5 to get in at 1:25 am. It was all the cash I had. No big deal. I expected a cover charge to get into a club downtown even though I was simply there to hang out with a friend for a few minutes and be his Designated driver home. I walk in and they wanted another $2 for a membership card. I gave them my debit card in annoyance and the lady tells me they dont accept cards. She directed me to an ATM and I told her never mind and walked out. I wasnt going to pay a $4 convince fee to get cash for a $2 membership card after paying $5 to get in all to be my friends DD.

Sadly i can remember this place after drinking. Im new in this area of North Carolina, and wanted to enjoy my friends at a nice place to be with a 1 night enjoyment. But, after so long my friends left me without any notice, since i told them i was going to the bathroom. I tried checking my phone, which was dead. So then I tried talking to one of the bartender ladies for help or any assistance, since im unfamiliar with the place and area. She decide to bring security and kick me out in the cold. Lost and confused, I had a stranger come to me and helped me. Gadly it was a friendly stranger or else i wouldve been reported as missing.

I would not recommend this place to anyone. We went there last night and the gentlemen at the front was charging people cover very randomly. One of the thing we didnt like was they dont take credit cards for cover charge. If they can take credit for a $5 drink. I dont get why they cant for the cover. Another concern was unfair treatment for cover charge, on our short stay there we noticed the gentleman was just letting some guys go without cover and not others. His excuse was they have a stamp, but we didnt even notice he was checking the stamps. I suggest they treat all equally and take credit for cover charge.

Been here 2 times. Only place where they charge you 10 dollars to go in and then additional as soon as you get in for a membership fee. Tf? Then we had to wait 30 minutes to get a drink. A rum and coke.... ended up leaving after a few lame songs. No one was really dancing. So basically we spent 14 to get in and only stayed for an hour. Not worth the time or money. Goodfellas was lit though.

There was an extremely long line this Saturday to get into this place. We ended up paying $50 for me my girlfriend and a buddy of mine to skip the line. Once in the club it seems like there was more people in line than there actually was in the club. It started to fill out there by about midnight 1 oclock there was a full club inside. Good mix of music and we had a overall fun time. Drinks were a little expensive and they did not really have drink specials. The club was also rather small and did not have a stage.

Brandon Hayes....bouncer/doorguy whatever....likes to assault good paying customers. I complained about a $10 cover charge and I gave him the cover charge. I then stepped by him, tried to go in and he put his hands on me telling me I couldnt go in because of my attitude. So another bouncer walks up and shoves me into the sidewalk and as I turned around Mr. Hayes decided it was a good idea to punch me. Knocking out my tooth, cutting my lip and had to get stitches. I will be pressing charges... This has nothing to do with Pravda. Pravda is a nice club, but I will be pressing charges and he will hear from my attorney. Who ever the owner is I highly suggest you let him go. Not professional what so ever. But as I said earlier. Pravda is a nice joint. I would say every time I visit downtown Wilmington. I swing by Pravda, if Brandon is not let go, I will never step foot in that establishment again
