Having spun in Wilmington clubs from 1977-1990 I was very disappointed in the music here. It wasn't even "OK"....it was terrible. Additionally, the DJ doesn't mix. We stayed for 1 drink, which was long enough to realize it sucked. Huge disappointment and they're definitely missing a market!!!!!!
I had a lot of fun dancing here. The music was 80/90s but turned house music. The later it was the busier it got. The bartenders were great and the manager was also
Great place to have fun with friends and hangout!
This is by far one the best places to go in Wilmington! Fun atmosphere with great staff, music and drinks. If you're looking for a great time, this is the place. Never had any issues here, the security team does an amazing job. Have a blast from the past with a visit to Wilm's best 80s 90s Hotspot
place is great! dj is TERRIBLE though. i swear, seriously awful. Booo dj booooooo
2023 update: I no longer recommend Coglin's. I went on a Saturday night when most businesses downtown were busy but this one was not (should have been a red flag right away). On the plus side, the bouncer did notify us of the $5 cover charge before we got upstairs so there were no surprises. The main negative was that the DJ did not read the crowd at all. The music was no longer 80s/90s retro pop and instead mid/late 00s hip-hop. There were only a handful of people dancing and at least 20-30 people in the club just standing around the bar not engaged at all. There was no variety at all, and after about 45 mins of standing around waiting for better music (or at least for more than a few people to dance), we left. -- 2022 original review: Such a fun spot to dance to throwback music! On a Saturday night, it was busy, but wasn't too full that you couldn't move around. Music/DJ was kind of strange - bad transitions between songs and they didn't seem to adapt to the crowd. We were there for about an hour and a half and heard at least one song twice. Would definitely go back though.
