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.

We come here when we have family in town (which is very often), However tonight is the last time I…read morewill be going there. A man and his friend we're sitting at a table and they had two black terrier dogs with them. My daughter was skipping by the table (to get to our table) where they were sitting and the two dogs lunge at her from under the table and bites her on the leg. I bring her outside while my husband gives the dog owner a few words. One of the workers came out to check on us, brought ice and tissues and proceeded to tell us that we "needed to keep a tight leash on our children". Um what? The worker made it known to me that they "were regulars" and know them. I don't see how that makes it okay for two dogs to attack someone relevant. I go inside to confront the man and ask for his number just in case my daughter has severe injuries from the bite, he was extremely rude and didnt have a care in the world about what happened or if my daughter was okay. Hi Wire, is this a place for pets to sit inside with their owners or a place for people to eat, drink and play games? Sure felt very un family friendly.

If you enjoy Wilmington Brewing Company then you need to head over to their newer brewery concept…read morein Downtown Wilmington. It is a huge space. The have beers from their other brewery on tap but we opted to try their beers. It was the sand dollar shoals czech lager for my husband and the reef runners west coast IPA for me. We both enjoyed them plus seeing the brewery cat. If you are looking to purchase a surf board they have stock and custom options available that you can watch them build. Cheers!

We all love Wilmington Brewery, right?? This is owned by the same couple, but it's in downtown…read more They serve different beer but have Tropical Lightening, of course! 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.

Good selection of beers and a full bar. My only wish was for more than one sour, but the mango was good and the coffee brew was also delicious. Day- Same open vibe, no music but still a great time. Casual vibe, some games, tvs, chess, open garage door style.

This was our first time here and it didn't disappoint! Word to the wise- be ready to wait 1.5 hours…read morefor a table. We came yesterday and didn't want to wait but then came back today and got our group on the list and waited. Note that the parking close by is expensive and they won't seat you if your whole party isn't there within 5 minutes of texting that your table is ready. So yep- plan to wait and sit around. Inside it's pub style, bar available and good music, but not much seating which explains the wait ;) We ordered the 109 Chestnut Chicken Sandwich, the Hot Roasted Pork Sandwich and the Reuben. Our waitress recommended not getting the onion rings app and to do it as sides to save money, and man, we had SO MANY leftovers. The pork sandwich is super good but so filling. I could only eat half with all the onion rings! The Reuben was absolutely delicious and I would 1000% get that again. The best thing on the menu in our opinion: the Cheese Steak Egg Rolls with chipotle mayo- OMG. We will DREAM about these!!! I haven't seen these talked about much- TRY THEM, they were literally mouth watering and I would have eaten them as an entree and not an app! Overall we would come back again, just be prepared to wait forever for a table and you won't be disappointed!

There was a whole pub crawl group when we went and it definitely got busy! Frozen drinks, THC drinks, beers, and cocktails for drinks. Ended up getting a guava wit 6 pack on the way out and it was great - sour, fruity, very drinkable. Lots of food options but we were told to get the garlic knots and we definitely needed those! The sausage and fennel pizza was delicious, I do wish the fennel had been a little more caramelized/charred. Pepperoni and basil came out fresh, they do let you customize a basic pizza if you don't want any of the specialty ones.

Not sure if that's the set up every weekend or if this particular night was an exception. There was a few corn hole boards for people to play on one side and the band was on the other side. There were a few spots to grab a drink, but we found a spot that sold "basic" beers and a moscato slushy which I thoroughly enjoyed! The band that played, played for at least an hour and a half without a break. We knew every song and sang and danced to the music. We had a good time!

What a fantastic evening at Dram Yard…read more We were a little concerned we might miss our 5:30 reservation after getting delayed by a seven-car accident on the bridge, but we arrived just a couple of minutes late and it wasn't an issue at all. From the moment we arrived, the experience was relaxed, welcoming, and exactly what we needed. We chose to sit in the beautiful courtyard, and with temperatures in the 70s, sunshine overhead, and a gentle breeze, it couldn't have been a more perfect setting. The outdoor gazebo bar creates a wonderful atmosphere for enjoying a cocktail before dinner, and if the weather isn't cooperating, the indoor dining space is equally inviting. A special thank you to Sarah, whose service was outstanding. She was cheerful, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy to be there. The restaurant wasn't crowded, which made for a peaceful and unhurried dining experience. For drinks, I ordered the Ghost Town, while my wife enjoyed the Venus Flytrap. Both were beautifully prepared and easy to see why they're among the restaurant's popular cocktails. The food was equally impressive. I had the Spaghetti Carbonara, and it was exceptional. The kitchen even accommodated my request for extra freshly cracked black pepper, which took an already excellent dish to another level. My wife ordered the Little Gem Salad with shrimp, and it was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. We also shared the Tuna Tartare Tostada, which was outstanding--beautiful presentation, fresh tuna, and a great balance of textures and flavors. Adding to the experience was a bottle of Albariño that paired wonderfully with the meal. What stands out most about Dram Yard is its atmosphere. It's the kind of place where you can settle in, slow down, enjoy a handcrafted cocktail, and forget about the stresses of the day. Whether you're looking for a date night, an evening with friends, or simply a quiet place to relax, Dram Yard delivers. Excellent service, creative cocktails, outstanding food, and one of the most relaxing outdoor dining spaces in Wilmington. We'll definitely be back.

We all ordered the "tasting" menu each for $90 per person. We were made to think the portions…read morewould be ample for the price. We each got a bowl of gazpacho, an appetizer size portion of two very small duck lumpia followed by tile fish with flat noodles and a savory broth. The course then was a shared short rib that was entirely fat/gross, one smal grilled onion and two tiny empanadas to share . Desert was a small scoop of ice cream and small crumble type cobbler to share. We in no way felt like it was $90, the portions were not enough to sustain us and we felt incredibly cheated and somehow conned/robbed of over $200 for each of us couples out. Very disappointing!
