Hi-fi cocktail bar, coffee shop coming to Soda Pop District
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A hi-fi cocktail bar and coffee shop with a focus on fine cocktails, wines and locally roasted coffee is coming to Wilmington.
Located in the former Coca Cola building in the up-and-coming Soda Pop District, owners say the Ibis will be a place to relax, unwind, and go back to a classic time when quality sound ruled the day.
The owners, Matt Ray and Abbye McGee opened the Starling Bar in the Cargo District last spring.
They will be partnering with Gravity Records who will be installing an audiophile class sound system at The Ibis including tube amps, vintage wood grain speakers, and state-of-the-art turntables.
The Ibis will be as much a listening room as it will be a watering hole for friends and family to gather and make memories, where the music isn’t simply the backdrop, instead creating the centerpiece of a totally unique experience here in Wilmington. The location aims to open their doors in August/September of 2023, and say they cannot wait to bring this unique experience to the Port City.
