The bar area is busy and has quite a few slot machines. The area in the adjoins room was way spacier and it looks like they may have live music or karaoke. The bathrooms are small but they were clean. Next door there is a Mexican restaurant and I believe they'll bring food over to the bar. There were menus available. The bartender was great.

I can't imagine what "bad things" the other reviewer heard about Tuffys. There are some rough and…read moredirty bars in the area but Tuffy's sure isn't one of them.

A fun bar. It has really cheap drinks and there's also some typical bar food. The Corner Tap is a…read moregood place for watching a game or just hanging out. Has some DJs and live music. You can't find much cleaner bathrooms in town. It basically is a dive bar. Some features include a jukebox and a pool table in the other room. There's actually quite lots of space in here and it seems pretty clean too. Bathrooms are no exception. These aren't covered in who knows what like many other bar bathrooms around here. It has lots of cheap drinks. On tap is Heileman's Old Style. It's about $2 for a pint. There's food too. Pretzel bites are good to munch on while at the bar. It's $5 for a basket full. These help soak up alcohol so you can stay here later. Good place for a cheap ass drink. Play some pool. The other food options include typical bar things like fries and wings.

The bartenders where friendly and very understanding when we went in to tell them 2 days in a row. Looked like a clean, relaxed place to have a beer. Music wasn't blaring the nighst we went in which is a plus in my book. Would stop in for a drink when I have the time soon. They had drink specials posted for every day which is a good thing. I have heard many folks say they have some of the best bloody mary's around and are a special on Sundays. Thanks again Snookers!

This place is the hottest new bar in the Wilmington area. This place has been open for a couple of…read moreweeks and it gets a lot of great attention. It's right along the river with a nice view and it's in the Heart of the City where you can see it all. This place is truly in the shape of a garage. This place was dog friendly too. Great selection of drinks and they even have non-alcoholic drinks as well. Prices on all the drinks were fair too. The bar features darts, a jukebox and a few other games. I will say the one drawback about this bar can be on this busy nights is the lines for the restroom. They are single star restrooms and the line for the men's restroom can back up we might just take a chances going to the women's restroom instead. Just because there is no line for the women's restroom on my visit but the line to get to the men's restroom was over a 10 minute wait.

I went to Symerton Tap for Fish Fry Friday and ordered the grilled cod... and I'm honestly still…read moreprocessing the experience. You know how people say "it's just fish"? Yeah. No. Not this fish. This grilled cod was so perfectly cooked it should probably have its own fan club. Flaky, tender, seasoned just right not dry, not greasy, not pretending to be something it's not. Just confidently amazing. I took one bite and immediately questioned every other piece of grilled cod I've ever eaten in my life. Life-changing? Possibly. Life-altering? Emotionally, yes. It's the kind of meal that makes you stare at your plate for a second and think, "Where have you been all my life?" If you haven't tried the grilled cod at Symerton Tap on Fish Fry Friday, I'm not saying you're doing Fridays wrong... but I am strongly suggesting you fix that immediately. 10/10. Would let this fish ruin all other fish for me again.
