It's a huge space with a long bar and plenty of seats. The main area has tables and comfortable seating vignettes, they have a back area with more tables, and a small patio. They also serve cocktails! And, you can watch a surfboard shaper at work! Some would say Wilmington has enough breweries, but my family will say that we can never have enough of this fine brewer.

The lady working that night was amazing. She knew all the regulars and even made us outsiders feel welcome and seen. She is a keeper and if I could transplant her to Oregon, I would! Hands down recommend this place for a beer and a spot to sit while you are walking around.

Finally! After many years, we made it back to Copper Penny! On our return trip from Southport we…read morestopped in downtown to grab a bite before heading home. We started walking around and my wonderful wife suggested Copper Penny. Absolutely! There was a short wait for a table, but we didn't mind. The inside is almost like we remember it. We did notice the menu is a lot smaller. The last time we dined here was around ten years ago. Definitely plenty of options. We went with the onion ring appetizer, Cobb salad, and the BBQ Burger. The atmosphere of Copper Penny is the same. Definitely missed this place. After a short wait our food was brought out. Everything was delicious. This is just an update, but we still love Copper Penny and will continue to return.

It's been a long time since I last visited the Copper Penny and it's because of my overwhelmingly…read morepositive previous experience with their food and service that I recommend it to my colleagues (who had never been to Wilmington)when we were considering a place for dinner. It was a little embarrassed after spending $192, on food and drinks for 4, with glasses still full of alcohol when we're were asked to leave. We were told that they are enforcing a 90 min in restaurant visit...to the point where they don't care if we had finished our beer/alcohol...clearly they just wanted us out. I've been to a lot of restaurants all over the world but this was the first time in my life that I was asked to leave...we weren't loitering we only wanted to finish our drinks before leaving...the person didn't look at our situation...was very black and white, "you've been here more than 90mins". Their food is good, they are as popular as ever but clearly not a place for people who want to chat and hang out...copper penny is a restaurant not a hangout spot...to me that's loud and clear. As someone who isn't in Wilmington often I rely on my previous experience as a stating point to my ( restaurant) choice. This experience was so jarring that I'll never recommend copper penny to anyone. The food is good but they really don't want or need non local business!

The services are top notch with excellent options on tap, wine selections (also on tap), and an atmosphere that is so unique. And if you are in the mood for a cocktail, the bars are well stocked. The times we have gone the staff have been just great. Friendly and smiling they are quick to assist and make great recommendations. The second floor is a continuation of comfort and beautiful architecture. And the adults only game room has all the standard bar entertainment, plus a few more. Food options are a no-go. Recommend eating before arrival. All in all, Pour is a must stop for anyone checking out the downtown Wilmington area.

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.
