I came in and of course I love looking at all the different whiskeys they have. I'd just came in to check on things and head back overseas. I decided to pop in here and ask if they had Campfire welp nope they didn't. So, I was disappointed Campfire is just smoky and darn good! It's not a run of the mill whiskey Anyways, they did have a few selections on Irish Whiskey which I was surprised and yes I purchased a few bottles. Coming from overseas I made sure to bring in tow a few bottles that is not available or sold in the USA sadly. Anyways, they do have a lot of whiskey etc here and again if they don't have something just ask.

I stopped in twice yesterday. The first visit was fine -- nothing memorable, but fine. Geneva was…read morebartending both times. The second visit, however, came with a greeting I've never heard in my fifty‑plus years: "You've been out all day. I can't serve you because I'll be liable if you're over served." I've bartended before. I understand the responsibility. But I was never asked a single question about what I'd actually been doing. For clarity: we had lunch at Michael's Seafood before our first visit. I had one non‑alcoholic seltzer at Island Beverage, and my partner had a four‑flight sampler. After that, we went thrifting and shopping at Goodwill, Lowe's Foods, and Dollar Tree. No drinking. No bar‑hopping. Nothing even close. On our second visit, Geneva gave us water and let us charge a phone -- and I do appreciate that. But being told "you've been out all day" instead of "welcome back" was unnecessary, inaccurate, and frankly insulting. It was an assumption presented as fact, and it was embarrassing. What made it even more absurd was watching Geneva continue to serve patrons who were clearly intoxicated while I sat there with a glass of water. So here's the takeaway: Don't go in twice in one day. Apparently that alone is enough to get treated like you've been drinking all over town. After this experience, I won't be going in on any day. I hope the staff can handle situations like this with actual communication instead of jumping straight to conclusions.

They had a more than ample selection of local brews on tap, and all that we sampled were delish. They had a huge selection of wine and even served wine by the glass.

Next time we are bringing the rest of the crew!

Not Aldi or Costco prices but still very good. Why is this place different than most? 1) Tasting machine where you can try wines before you buy (at a small cost) 2) Arrangement of the wines. Example, displays for "Dinner party" and other events. 3) Wines brands you will not find at other places in town. Sorry, no Barefoot or 19 Crimes here. 4) Staff is very knowledge and helpful They don't have the selection like a Total Wine, but they do have very affordable selections for any need. I will be back. Highly recommend

The…read morecharming and welcoming atmosphere provides everything from organic produce and freshly baked goods to craft beers, wines, and gourmet items. The Veggie Wagon focuses on supporting local farmers and artisans, making it a go-to spot for fresh fruits, vegetables, jams, and handmade snacks. They also feature prepared foods, like sandwiches, salads, and grab-and-go meals. My personal favorite go-to is grabbing a cup of coffee and one of their freshly baked warm chocolate chip cookies. The shop is a staple in Carolina Beach and often holds music and wine events on the weekend. They have a beautiful new patio with a lot of seating making it the perfect spot to have a glass of wine while listening to live music. Make sure to check out their social media for what's happening while you visit.

Some from North Carolina. Inside seating available, including bar seating, as well as a fenced in outdoor seating area. No wait staff.

Arrived around 530pm and was able to find close street parking (free). A lot of people were already…read morethere with their dogs and kids, so all of the limited nine bench tables were filled up. They also had one long bench seating lined up on one side, close to the bench tables. Sitting there made it a little awkward to be in such close proximity to the people on the bench tables. Small Pole table trays were available too if you don't mind standing. There's plenty of open space, so hopefully in the future they can add more seating. It may be a good idea to bring your own seats and side table if you want to do extra work. Four food trucks were lined up on one side: Rude Bwoys, Italian Ice, Gusty Peruano, and another one. There was a short line for Gusty Peruano. The pager they gave us notified us when the food was ready, took less than 15 minutes. Food was great, although expensive. The Smashburger was delicious, but the fries were on the softer side. Causa a la Limeña was good too. We didn't get drinks since there was an extremely long line, but when we initially arrived, there was no line. So if that happens to you, take advantage of that while you can. The DJ was starting to set up right when we were leaving. There were some cornhole boards. Didn't see any bathrooms or porta potties. Gusty Peruano made it worth it to visit, otherwise, not sure if I would be back.

I have been going to the store to purchase wine and take home so I was really disappointed to find out that the wine I enjoy at home from their store would cost me $20 extra to enjoy at their restaurant for their corkage fee. Maybe I shouldn't have expected no or low corkage fee but I have to say I was not happy. I was really hoping that Bridgewater was going to be our go to restaurant close to home but I dont think it will be.
