Not only was I screamed at when I tried to play karaoke due to them closing soon but also I was also confronted when I went to play pool that the table was broken when it seemed to work fine. Then as I am going to another table it is apparently only for reserves as the venue is half empty. Then as I go to another table within 5 mins I'm told that they are closing soon and I am told to leave immediately. I asked if I could finish my drink and I was told that I can take my drink with me but I couldn't take the cup and when I asked for a to-go cup she said she didn't have any. So I am left wondering how I am supposed to finish my drink and leave immediately without having a to-go cup. I ended up having to leave my drink there. I'm extremely disappointed I feel like this would be a great venue if it wasn't for the staff.

We chose to sit in the cozy chairs in the back which was a nice switch from bar stools for us! The bartender was fast, efficient and knowledgeable! The selection was great for all tastes!

Went with a friend who frequents and she's a food/wine lover (so I knew this experience would be a good one). Convenient location downtown and I've never had issues finding parking yet but it DOES get busy. There are some municipal lots around and I'd you capable of walking a block or two you may get lucky finding parking on the residential streets too. Just please drive responsibly and don't drink and drive The restaurant has a very relaxing vibe, the ambience is great for business for pleasure for get together or romantic- I loved the way the place is decorated and I absolutely love the small nooks for seating tucked into the wall (seats2-3) with two chairs tables for extra ppl. Overall great experience and I LOVED the charcuterie board as well as the selections. The person serving had great knowledge on pairings too. Will definitely go back.

All 3 have many things in common... This brewery consistently produces some amazing beer. IPAs and hazy IPAs are top notch here. They are very rare and hard to find back home (Greensboro), so I had to stock up. The space is exceptional. Huge beer hall with a large bar top area, tables, couches and comfy chairs. Add in some tv's throughout with sports on, and some foosball and shuffle board, and you have a super fun spot to hang out. The outdoor patio is super comfy as well, and surrounded by beautiful large trees. This is a place I need to stop in every time we're in the Wilmington area. For the great beer, the great space, and to take home half the store lol.

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.

The place was a dump dirty floors, sad drinks, and the vibe of a gas station that sells alcohol. Night two, we came back to support it again, and one of our friends got kicked out while paying his bill no joke. The bouncer/owner/bartender, whoever it was, was a complete egotistical maniac, acted like he was auditioning for "World's Most Insecure Alpha" and decided to flex his power for absolutely no reason. He clearly just needed to feel like a big man before going home. Dude booted our whole group without explanation. Enjoy the empty bar, champ you earned it.

We each had one shot each and the bartender decided it was a good idea to cut us off . We were extremely disappointed because we just had 1 shot each. We are both bartender, my friend and I, and completely understand if the bartender decides cut us off but we literally had 1 shot ! I got really upset cause we really thought we found a place to hang out . Especially since are walking distance from our home. Literally 5 min walk from my home. We we're just going to get two shots each and after just a drink. Cause that's what we normally do. We are not the type to get shit faced. We just wanted to hang ... get a little buzz and play pool . But I'm guess since we are in our mid twenties and everyone else is in there were 50+ and knew the bartenders... they we're getting special treatment. I should also add, we definitely felt like we were getting treated different from everyone else. I don't know it's because we were two young females and didn't fit the "scene " . But we were causing no trouble. We were playing pool for an hour and we decided to get another shot AFTER ONE HOUR!! and that's when the bartender told us the the OTHER BARTENDER told her to cut us off. I even asked why? And her answer was " I don't know " I even told her " I've only had one shot an HOUR AGO" and she just looked at me and said nothing ... It be one thing , if we were being obscene or disrespectful.but nope ...... and all the other folks hanging out at the end of the bar looked like they should of been cut of ! They were being loud and slurring their words. And one of the guys kept sexually harassing us . But we did t care and ignored him. Si if you're old, you're golden. But if you're young... don't come here

Some are a little spendy but I once you get used to the specials the prices are more than reasonable. Sundays are awesome.

We went on a Sunday and the mimosas were only $4 and were served in a mason jar which was so cute! Definitely will go again!
