    Great place to grab a beer! I definitely appreciate that they honor the Venus flytrap, both in atmosphere and they have actual plants! Draft list is diverse, so everyone can find something to enjoy, including a hard seltzer on draft (they also have wine and non-alcoholic drinks). An added detail I appreciate is that they serve different styles of beer in different glasses. You don't see that often. Very reasonably priced. Parking is on the street, but easy to get. They are pet friendly. Will for sure be returning!

    Most tourist never make it to this side of town (Brooklyn Arts district). That's fine with me. The beer is a solid 4 stars. All brewed by them. The location is 5 stars. Service is great. Like most beer gardens, you have to go to the bar to order your beer. The Flytrap is in a great location. Awesome outside seating area, with large trees providing some great shade. Inside seating as well if you want the AC. Highly recommend.

    Really fun brewery in the area!! I can't comment on the beer selection because I'm not a big beer drinker, I found 1 sour beer that I loved (sour saison with raspberries) and I stuck to that one for the night! Very dog friendly brewery- there was not an outside seat or table available when we first arrived, so the staff let us sit inside with the dogs, while we waited for an outside table to open up. Inside is a quiet atmosphere, the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Outside had a great vibe going on- lots of picnic tables all around (as well as individual chairs), strung lights overhead, a live band playing music, and a food truck parked right outside of you get hungry! There also seemed to be both heaters and fire pits for colder days or nights. Really enjoyed this brewery and would definitely return (with the pups!!)!

    I think I found my favorite brewery in Wilmington

    The last time I was here Covid and Pandemic were not buzz words we were using constantly. With that being said they have grown into what I now would consider my favorite brewery in Wilmington. Their outside garden is very large and perfect for pups and kids. You are also away from the downtown traffic which makes it pretty quite and relaxing. The beer is also pretty good. We just got some light beers this go around (amber ale and Pilsner). Both were tasty. Lastly part of their proceeds from buying merch (we got our child a shirt... yes we are those parents) goes to the conservation efforts for Venus fly traps. Not only was this a great family fun day but we spent a bit of time in the courtyard looking up videos and facts about NCs native carnivorous plant.

    Great vibes here! Outside patio with lots of seating and string lights. They have delicious food trucks pull up and live music. Beer is good. I like that they have staples and rotating selections. Great specials throughout the week on drinks! Has a large wine selection compared to other breweries. There's something for everyone here! Place isn't huge so the service is usually very good. Never had to wait.

    I can not believe I haven't posted a review of my favorite local brewery!!! I love this place! Their outdoor area is so nice and is huge. You can sit in the sun or the shade. They often have live music which just adds to the fun atmosphere. Oh, and the beer is great and the service is impeccable.

    Flight!

    Cool spot! It's a little "removed" from the whole Historic Downtown area, but well worth the walk "off the beaten path." You can also hit up Edward Teach Brewery a block or so away. Flytrap has some pretty cool branding, merch, and okay beer. I ended up getting a flight, but completely missing a whole half of the beer offerings and got a lot of sours (more than I would have preferred). Never-the-less, I redeemed myself and got a pint of their IPA to wash down all the sours in the flight. Really relaxed space, there's a flytrap terrarium located at one of the entrances and an outdoor space for the 4 legged crews (they are also welcome inside).

    We stumbled upon this place on a neighborhood walk, and we were impressed. Quality beers in a good location.

    Ok but nothing special. Weird location. Beer is just ok. Not worth going out of the way for this place. I don't think I would go back.

    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.

    Beer was great and so was the ambiance but we quickly had one beer and left as we felt unwelcome…read moreoutside with our 1 and 3 year old as we approached the 6pm time they wouldn't be allowed. 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.
