We chose to sit in the cozy chairs in the back which was a nice switch from bar stools for us! The bartender was fast, efficient and knowledgeable! The selection was great for all tastes!

If you're not a local or if you're young . Stay away !!!! My friend and I went out to play pool and…read morehave couple drinks . We each had one shot each and the bartender decided it was a good idea to cut us off . We were extremely disappointed because we just had 1 shot each. We are both bartender, my friend and I, and completely understand if the bartender decides cut us off but we literally had 1 shot ! I got really upset cause we really thought we found a place to hang out . Especially since are walking distance from our home. Literally 5 min walk from my home. We we're just going to get two shots each and after just a drink. Cause that's what we normally do. We are not the type to get shit faced. We just wanted to hang ... get a little buzz and play pool . But I'm guess since we are in our mid twenties and everyone else is in there were 50+ and knew the bartenders... they we're getting special treatment. I should also add, we definitely felt like we were getting treated different from everyone else. I don't know it's because we were two young females and didn't fit the "scene " . But we were causing no trouble. We were playing pool for an hour and we decided to get another shot AFTER ONE HOUR!! and that's when the bartender told us the the OTHER BARTENDER told her to cut us off. I even asked why? And her answer was " I don't know " I even told her " I've only had one shot an HOUR AGO" and she just looked at me and said nothing ... It be one thing , if we were being obscene or disrespectful.but nope ...... and all the other folks hanging out at the end of the bar looked like they should of been cut of ! They were being loud and slurring their words. And one of the guys kept sexually harassing us . But we did t care and ignored him. Si if you're old, you're golden. But if you're young... don't come here

One of my all time favorite breweries in North Carolina. In no particular order, its this one here…read morein Wilmington, Hopfly in Charlotte, and Wicked Weed in Asheville. All 3 have many things in common... This brewery consistently produces some amazing beer. IPAs and hazy IPAs are top notch here. They are very rare and hard to find back home (Greensboro), so I had to stock up. The space is exceptional. Huge beer hall with a large bar top area, tables, couches and comfy chairs. Add in some tv's throughout with sports on, and some foosball and shuffle board, and you have a super fun spot to hang out. The outdoor patio is super comfy as well, and surrounded by beautiful large trees. This is a place I need to stop in every time we're in the Wilmington area. For the great beer, the great space, and to take home half the store lol.

We finally made it to Wilmington Brewing Company, 800 South Kerr Avenue, this weekend, and the…read moreplace won us over once we stepped in. Two attentive guys behind the bar juggled orders and tidied tables without breaking stride It set a tone that the place is not only laid-back but also well-tended. We had the Blair's Breakfast Stout (coffee, lactose, and cacao nibs) super delicious! And then also the Jalapeno Saison. Definitely for the pepper fans. Both brews really hit hte mark. WBC welcomes outside food. So an easy stroll over to P.T.s Grill a block away, and back to WBC allows for you to relax and enjoy even longer. Relaxing Flavorful Downright enjoyable Yep, we'll be back.

We went on a Thursday afternoon...the bar was surrounded by ladies when we walked in and it got…read morereal quiet...I felt like we might have been interrupting something but we ordered our drinks and they started talking again. You can definitely tell that this is a locals bar. After our first drink the ladies started to talk to us and I started to really enjoy myself. The bartender was friendly and drinks were on par for what we'd paid the rest of the week. Not sure why I expected this bar to be bigger because I knew it was literally a trailer. But it was decorated hilariously and it was clean. I would have loved to return that night for karaoke but I must be getting old because when I heard it didn't start until 9pm, I knew that we'd have to do that another trip. We'll try again next year!

The under-21 policy is divisive but there are plenty of good nearby places to bring kids (Bend,…read moreOTP, etc...) They don't regularly have food so confused why you'd bring small kids anyways. I like the atmosphere. It feels like a casual bar and for that alone it's worth going to. And even when they allow kids during the days they have a section that prohibits them which is surprisingly relaxing. Nice to sit with our dog and relax. Beers are decent. Some are a little spendy but I once you get used to the specials the prices are more than reasonable. Sundays are awesome.

The grounds are immaculate with beautiful trees and plantings everywhere. There are picnic tables and a fire pit with seats around it a stage for a performer. Inside is a lovely three sided bar with happy bartenders and beers, wine and cocktails of your choosing! There are even some Games like cornhole and Connect Four outside to play. We went on a Sunday and the mimosas were only $4 and were served in a mason jar which was so cute! Definitely will go again!

The food, cocktails, atmosphere, and staff consistently make this one of our favorite local spots. The standout on the menu is the Roast Beef Sandwich. The combination of hand-carved roast beef, caramelized onions, brie cheese, arugula, and horseradish crema is absolutely incredible. Every ingredient works together perfectly, creating a sandwich that's both rich and flavorful without being overwhelming. What really takes it to the next level is pairing it with one of their homemade daily soups. The soups rotate regularly and are always fresh, creative, and delicious. If you're having trouble deciding, order a soup flight. It's one of the most unique offerings around and it never disappoints.

A group of us came back for a reunion and decided to hit up Surf City. First night, we were the…read moreonly ones there actually spending money and trying to liven up the dead atmosphere. The place was a dump dirty floors, sad drinks, and the vibe of a gas station that sells alcohol. Night two, we came back to support it again, and one of our friends got kicked out while paying his bill no joke. 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. He clearly just needed to feel like a big man before going home. Dude booted our whole group without explanation. Enjoy the empty bar, champ you earned it.

We walked inside and were immediately greeted by the bartender. I ordered the coffee and cream, my husband had the Irish red and our daughter had some grape juice lol. Which Jessica was so nice to offer her. We found a cozy corner with a couch and a couple chairs and our little one was thoroughly entertained with all the books and games. They brew their beer in house, along with a few THC drinks and a full bar, if beer isn't your thing. We can't wait to come back for one of their many events or just for a chill day/night out.
