"We got Icecream from inside and two drinks and hung out and listened to music. Such a good vibe and great hang out place. Kid and dog friendly. Definitely our type of place. Highly recommend!"
Gabrielle Hughes
"I can't say enough about this place! I had last minute cancelations in my bachelorette party..and Tracey and Jeremy (the owners) accommodated 15 of us for a wine tasting event. Not only did they make this experience one of our trip highlights, but they personalized it just for us, coordinating all within 24 hours. Some of the best people I have met on this earth. Best atmosphere, so welcoming, so comfortable, so fun for us. Thank you thank you. We will definitely be coming back."

"It was storming in Surf City the evening our Self Care & Healing Retreat (group of 22 people) planned on meeting at Unwind for an evening of Food, Drinks & Music.
Our group had traveled clear across the country to be here & because we planned “all local activities” for the week, Unwind was our 1st stop.
The evening of the event Jeremy, Tracey, Mgmt & staff went out of there way to make sure that even with the rain, we were still able to gather at Unwind, to enjoy a local band and have great food too!
In fact, the original band that was scheduled to play left & they called and asked Third Act to come & play. They accepted…who goes out of their way to do this??
Unwind & Third Act do! Wow 🤯 This town is so cool.
Even though the weather was crazy, we had one hell of a great time with the band, locals that joined us, great food & a staff that was absolutely unbelievable!!
In fact, the band was EXCELLENT (Third Act)!! They truly made the 1st evening of our reunion special!
If you’re looking for a place to gather with your friends, or family I highly recommend you plan an evening at Unwind. We will never forget it. THANK YOU 🙏❤️🔥🙏❣️ Xo, Jess 💋@JessGenix & Trinity Healing Retreats"
