This is the watering hole for bon vivants with a vision.
The venue offers a cool, relaxing, intoxicating space where you can escape with friends and get lost in a moment. It is comprised of three rooms with distinct personality - A cocktail bar, turning out masterfully executed libations, a terrace, for sun-drenched revelry, and a scintillating great room, hosting near-nightly parties for a sophisticated collection of clientele.

The atmosphere at the WILDER is playful, but elevated, intoxicating, but familiar, tropical, enticing, and a place to, well, get WILD, that feels more like a secluded, storybook escape than a bar or lounge. Guests are at ease, and the staff is polished, friendly, and faultless.

I'm completely disappointed of our latest visit to the brunch burlesque show at The Wilder. What was once an unforgettable experience, a true spectacular experience that left me thinking all this years how I couldn’t wait to visit it again! The first time we attended, when the show initially launched on Sundays, it was absolute amazing. The energy and the vibe had me hooked. But this time, the venue was completely empty, the food selection was all right, and the overall atmosphere was depressing. The performers, bless their hearts, did their best to salvage the afternoon , but even their talents couldn't compensate for the lack of audience and their enthusiasm. I'm heartbroken because I deliberately planned our entire weekend getaway around this event, ensuring our Airbnb booking coincided with the show. Now, I'm left wondering what went wrong. Was it a lack of advertising?Had the show simply run its course? Whatever the reason, I'm devastated. My husband, he asked if l'd finally gotten the experience 'out of my system’. I nodded, I am never coming back again!

I think the food was good but too pricy for what it was. They were apps more than “dinner plates” We had planned out our before and after dinner events based on a 9pm burlesque show but the entertainment started 1.5hrs later than marketed so it kinda ruined some plans for us. Burlesque show was nice! Could’ve been longer though. All in all, I’d go back for the drinks and environment but not for dinner. Happy hour is totally worth it though

The service was slow. The show was good, the food selection is limited for it being a brunch and portion are VERY small. It was fun to have the experience but the food needs some improvement
