My server was super nice, very attentive and helpful. I ordered a prickly pear beer and an all beef hot dog with tots.. you can choose 3 topping or add extras for a little more money. My hot dog was soo good! It was diameter of a quarter! I ended up taking it out of bun and eating it with fork.. lol.. I really enjoyed my lunch here. Can't wait to try more things from menu. I've ordered food from here when I've met friends at salty turtle next door like loaded tots or fried pickles and everything I've had was good.

After a full day exploring the local breweries, we were on the hunt for some good wings. We asked a…read morefew locals where to go, and everyone immediately recommended Coastal Wing & Spirits--so we knew we had to check it out. We showed up about 45 minutes before closing, which can sometimes feel awkward, but the staff could not have been more welcoming. They were kind, polite, and genuinely friendly, never once making us feel rushed. Their hospitality really stood out and made the experience that much better. We kicked things off with the pork belly appetizer--crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. It was the perfect start. For our main, we went with the 12-piece wing option, and I can honestly say these were the best wings I've had in a very long time. Juicy, perfectly cooked, and seasoned just right--every bite was delicious. The vibe of the place is casual but inviting, the kind of spot that feels just right after a day out. Whether you're a local or just visiting Topsail Island, this place should absolutely be on your list. Amazing wings, great service, and a staff that truly cares about their guests--highly recommend.

We were told, "Come in--dine-in orders are served before call-in orders." So we did... only to be told it would be a 2.5-hour wait for a kids' pizza. We then tried DoorDash hours in advance, only to call and be told, "Oh, we turned DoorDash off months ago because of the demand." Apparently no one told DoorDash, because they were still accepting orders. The biggest issue isn't being busy--it's the lack of communication and management. Even the waitstaff seemed frustrated and unhappy. Three strikes, and we're done. There are too many other places to spend your time and money.

For dinner we branched out this time and got snow crab legs, salads, a chicken sandwich, and a lobster pasta which came with an entire lobster! Keeping in mind it IS bar food, but everything was good and no one walked away hungry. Cocktails were also fantastic. There is a reason we always stop in and it's because they are consistent with great service! Kudos

The bouncer/owner/bartender, whoever it was, was a complete egotistical maniac, acted like he was auditioning for "World's Most Insecure Alpha" and decided to flex his power for absolutely no reason.

Owner Ray Baca, has created a dream space for any event planner. The walls are original historic brick, and the furnishing is clean and modern. My favorite feature is the raw feel; this space can easily be outfitted to fit any event. The venue is also unique because of the kitchen and easy setup space for catering. You will not find another venue of this caliber with this unique setup anywhere is downtown Wilmington. The central location is also wonderful if the weddings located in downtown Wilmington. I am using this venue to host a business owner's info session. Mr. Baca has been a pleasure to work with and I hope to host other events here in the future.
