“I met a friend here for their Flights and Bites, which is Wednesday and Thursday night where you buy a flight and get a free bite. It's a very cool, modern and trendy place. We sat at a table near the bar which had the the coolest teal lights. Our server was nice and gave recommendations on people's favorite bites. The wine flights were 3 different types of wines from the same winery. I'm not much of a wine connoisseur so it was fun to taste and compare. They were all delicious and a good variety of flavors. For bites we had the pimento cheese which came with these flaky crackers and pickled veggies that made a perfect addition. We also got the focaccia bread w olive oil. Super soft yet crunchy. I wish there were more. The hostess did bring us more crackers when we still had more pimento cheese which was so nice. They also filled up our waters non-stop. It was a perfect place for a girls get together. And it would make a fun date night spot.“

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!“

“when i first heard about the ibis i knew it was going to be a place i would really enjoy. not only do i enjoy music overall but have visited gravity records several times so seeing a collaboration between them was exciting to see. my first time at the ibis was definitely the most welcoming and played a big part in me continuing to come and grab a drink & have a chat with friends. i love the atmosphere, the music, & the cocktails always hit the spot. after the first time visiting, i started, realizing that the customer service and interactions overall were not that great. i tried to give it the benefit of the doubt and assume that they were possibly having an overwhelming and busy day. i will go ahead and mention that i am very respectful when it comes to me going out to public spaces. i have always been very good with my manners and would say i'm more patient than most people in our world these days. so for me to feel the need to say anything about this should say a lot in itself. i've been to the ibis about five times at this point and ever since the first time i have not been greeted with a welcoming vibe whatsoever. i'm not expecting much from the staff but basic phrases like "hey how are y'all doing?" or "how's it going?" are never used. not even a welcoming smile or anything. not only that but it seems like they stare at you & wait for you to say something first. i will also mention that this isn't only during cocktail hours. i've been there during coffee hours and the staff during that time seem to be the same. i really love this spot. it's an awesome place to have a casual drink or just to listen to some good music but i'm writing this because not only me but friends that have been there with their own friends have also had negative experiences with the staff. i have nothing against the staff, maybe they've just never worked a customer service job & don't realize that your body language and energy does affect the people around you. i just hate that i don't feel like can fully enjoy my time here when there's so much negative tension between the customers and staff. i hope there can be a meeting where this could be addressed, but overall beautiful spot and looking forward to future events.“

“Can’t rate the food because we didn’t have any. Simply checked it out for the beverage options that it had. We went in kind of an off time so got a lot more specialized attention than if we’d have gone during a busy time. It’s a cool atmosphere and has a lot of good beverage options. Worth a visit even if just To stock up on drinks“

Son ordered General Tso’s chicken but was brought orange chicken. Very orange tasting and had oranges in it. waiter said was definitely General Tso’s chicken because it didn’t haven oranges in it. Only good thing was I got 4 meals out of my order and tasted better after reheating and adding red pepper sauce“

Very clean and welcoming. The food was delicious. Prices are very reasonable. The service friendly, maybe could be a little faster but my overall experience was very good. I will definitely go back. I had a crab salad and Sushi and Sashimi.“

“Incredibly busy for a quite hotel, everytime I passed by this place when entering the hotel from the riverwalk, so I was curious why. First I tried one of my favorite drinks while my sons where at the pool. A cordial spritz (I believe they called Bless my Heart) and it was very nice. Then we had breakfast the day after, french toast, avocado toast and buffet. All thing delicious but what made our morning was the service. Destiny (forgive me if I got your name wrong!) was a an amazing host and waitress!“
