Summer 2017 officially kicks off next Wednesday, June 21 with so much more to do in Downtown Wilmington this year! The riverfront is expanding, with new places to eat, shop, and explore along the Cape Fear River. A great perk of living in River Bluffs is taking Wilmington Water Tours taxi to Downtown and back, rather than taking the car and trying to find parking! The water taxi will drop you off and pick you up right from the Port City Marina, so you’ll be walking distance to all the best restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. While hanging out Downtown this summer, don’t forget to swing by and sample Wilmington’s latest riverfront restaurants – Blackfinn & Vida!

Blackfin Ameripub

Blackfinn Ameripub is a lively restaurant and bar that offers the affordable and delicious American food you crave. Guests receive great service in a high-energy atmosphere, alongside an extensive list of craft beers and signature cocktails. Be on the first to try this new Wilmington, NC restaurant!

Vida Mexican Kitchen y Cantina

Vida Mexican Kitchen y Cantina is evolved Mexican cuisine and a welcomed new restaurant along the Cape Fear River in Downtown Wilmington.
