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.

There was zero parking in downtown and I'm glad about that - this was pretty awesome. A definite family-friendly vibe here with some kids running about and others playing cornhole. At least a half-dozen dogs on leashes too. I left my wife seated outside while I popped in for beers. Hi-Wire Lager for me and a non-alcoholic ginger beer for my wife. Delicious and tasty and a fun spot to people watch because there are so many! Tip: Get the pizza first. It's made to order and takes 20+ minutes!

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.

I can understand why this might attract some people to this place but it's completely excluding a whole group of people who might be able to go out without their kids. Not everyone has babysitters or would love to go out with their whole family as a unit. Also what if you're meeting a friend group that doesn't have kids and you can't come in because you have a child? Having young kids can feel difficult enough but taking away a space where they can be safe in an open green area while you can enjoy other adults and a nice beer is just hurtful. Also they often say come back in the afternoon but most parents with young kids know that's when they nap.

The space, equal parts cozy taproom and shaded beer garden, feels both vibrant and homey. If you're reading this and asking yourself what is the region's native icon, the Venus Flytrap - we have catching up to do. Read history below the review. The mood was easygoing. Two staff members, juggling orders with grace, kept the taps moving and the vibe relaxed. We had the Oatmeal Porter (dark, smooth, layered with chocolate, roasted malt, and caramel) And the Brook's Mulberry Lemonade (a blend of house-made lemonade and beer, fermented with mulberries hand-picked from Brook's garden). Both were super delicious. Flytrap Brewing sits tucked in a quiet Wilmington neighborhood, and it feels like it belongs there. The thoughtful drinks, easy crowd, and unpretentious energy, we will for sure be back! History: The Venus flytrap, scientifically known as Dionaea muscipula, is native to a limited area of the southeastern United States. ONLY naturally growing specifically within a 75-mile radius of Wilmington, North Carolina. This area includes parts of both North and South Carolina. The plant was first discovered in the late 1700s. So respected in North Carolina, removing or poaching them from public lands or private property is a Felony. Purchasing them or growing yourself is praised.

I don't know if Flytrap has a new brewer or what has happened to their beer or choices in beer styles but for quite some time now I have not found a beer from them worth stopping in for. It's extremely disappointing because they used to have some of the best beer in town but not anymore.

We tried the New England hazy IPA and it was pretty decent, 7 out of 10 for me. Most pints are 6 bucks for a 16 oz. pour, though they did have a 12 oz. pour stout that was 7 bucks. Not a ton of eating inside, but maybe room for 30 folks seated in chairs, couches, or at the bar. Plenty of free lot and street parking available and they have a large shaded outdoor area with picnic tables and chairs. Music playing pretty loud on speakers both inside and out. Not a sports bar feel...way more a place to just chill and not get excited. Pet friendly. Bring your own food is encouraged with a nice pizza place called Slice of Life in the same strip shopping center, as well as a Smithfields Chicken restaurant right in front of the brewery. They have a schedule on their Insta and website as to when they'll have certain food trucks. Small selection of hats, tees, etc available iside. One significant bummer, no wifi, which is a super inexpensive and easy thing to correct.

Waterman's has a very casual ambience - not quite beach-y but with a nice beach-town feel. They have a huge outside space including an area for a band/dj and a pretty spacious interior as well. Their beer seems quality but I did not love that the majority of the options were tropically themed with a lot of fruit flavors. That's not a terrible sin in beer but I would have a like a few more options with more traditional flavors. I did end up enjoying the IPA I got despite not normally being a fan of beers with a lot of fruit flavors. The food was also good if not great. I don't have any complaints, it just wouldn't be my first choice for eating when we're back in town again. I think the strength of this place is the space and casual atmosphere, it was easy to bring our kids to have a nice meal while we enjoyed some beers. The Mac and Cheese was a pretty big hit with the little ones BTW.
