Is there a good, safe, lively social scene that includes dancing to popular music, outdoor tables and lights, clean, odor-free restrooms, and quality food?

I'm gonna second that about neptunes. They just don't have patio seating ..yet... the food is bombdiggity, they always run deals like taco Tuesday, chicken n waffle wednesday, half price. hibacci Thursday, free wings on Friday with the purchase of a drink. They have a parking lot also. The dj on weekends. Hope this helps

No.

Wrightsville Beach is safe regardless of where you are there. Neptunes is the best fit for what you are looking for. They serve food during the day and have a dj at night
