City Limits Saloon Inc

I was teetering between giving City Limits a 3 or a 4 star rating, but decided to settle on a 4.  I have fond memories of my latest visit because I stuck around long enough for all the epic line dancing to begin!  I'm not a country girl.  I grew up in suburbia on the west coast where there was only 1 country station and 1 country bar that I knew of but never visited.  I'd never been line dancing before in my life, so please take that into account because I have no other country bar to compare my experience to.  However, I had a fantabulous time trying to learn some moves at City Limits!  I was actually able to master a dance other than the electric slide and felt pretty proud of myself.  When my friends and I left I totally had it in my head that I was going to take up line dancing.  We'll see.

I like that they have a patio, pool tables, and bouncers who will let girls in free if you refuse to pay a cover (accompanied by a smirk and a slight scoot toward the exit).

My biggest complaint about my first visit to City Limits was the freezing cold temperature inside the place.  I didn't stay long because of that, but on visit 2 when I stayed long enough to really get down on the dance floor I understood why the AC was on full blast.  So I decided I'm okay with that.

My second biggest complaint is that the specialty cocktails are just way too sweet.  At this bar it's going to have to be Coors Lights, shots, or vodka cranberries for me from now on.

I seriously LOVE this place. It has a little something for everyone. Standard bar when you walk in with dance floor, mechanical bull to the side; southern style bar in the far back; pool, outdoor seating area, and upstairs area. The music they play is a little something for everyone. Since Wilmington attracts a lot of young people being the hub of UNCW, this place is a great go to spot with the variety of music they feature throughout the night.

They even have a great photographer who comes around some nights to take pictures up to put it up on a local NC website <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Flazyday.com&s=ee05587dc707735de70ea1d88b4d3381cf74c8d51628f65158829fa796fd6ed7" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://lazyday.com</a>, which is so great, especially if you're not one to want to lug around a camera of your own to remember the night before with your honey.

If you're looking for a great time and a fan of line dancing or just dancing in general, this place is for you.  I was visiting a friend in Wilmington and this place was HOT.  It's a country themed saloon.  You will even see people wearing straw hats and cowboy boots.  To my surprise, they paid very good hip-hop music and mixed it up with line dancing music here and there.  The best part about this place is the mechanical bull.  Bull rides are $5 but it's completely worth it.  The operator seems to take it easy on the ladies but much tougher on the males.  The longest I saw I guy lasted on the bull was about 20 seconds.  They have pretty decent drink specials even on a weekend night.  Awesome place for an awesome time.
