    Wine vault with different types of wine taps
    Liz D.

    I've only been here a couple of times, but every time I'm in Wilmington it's a destination. Great business concept, although you need to have some discipline or you can unknowingly rack up a large tab, as well as get really inebriated. Basically they have 50? help yourself taps, which include wine, beer, and seltzers. You get a bracelet and "scan" it at the stations of your choice, which begins the pour process. The bracelet tracks the number of ounces and price per pour. I don't know the limit for beer, but you "time out" at around 3 glasses for wine. BUT you can one up or whatever they call it to keep drinking. Yay! They serve food as well, but I haven't tried anything. Cool building, laid back atmosphere. I recommend checking out the daily specials or happy hour to save some $$.

    The bartender in the back is my favorite! Vodka cranberry and Miller light

    This bar is amazing! The staff is friendly and well educated on beverages. I ordered a vodka cranberry and OMG IT WAS THE BEST ONE I HAVE HAD SO FAR! The best part is you can't taste the alcohol so it gets you more buzzed! Love this place and I'll continue coming back.

    Never a bad experience at pour house! HIGHLY recommend bingo on Thursday nights!! It is free to play just buy drinks to support :)

    This is one of those places that you take for granted and then miss desperately when you move away. It's a local Cheers, forreal. You can just show up and you've got friends there, provided you can hang with the local charm-- and trust me, it's charming. From the locals to the operators (iykyk), this bar serves fun, attitude, and a hell of a Coors banquet. Miss y'all, love y'all. #og

    This frose was electric

    We took shelter from the rain and stumbled into The Pour House in downtown Wilmington. Step on down to this no frills basement bar. Our bartender, Sammy, was very sweet and hooked this Basic B up with a frose, but this seems like a standard beer/mixed drink bar for sure.

    Great service! We stopped in during the Bloody Mary bar crawl. They have charging cords at the bar and offered us water and tums in addition to our drinks. They also let us use a card even though we spent less than ten bucks which was the minimum. When you come here the first time, look for a stairway down from the street near the corner. We almost missed it.

    Really had a good time there. Great vibes, a really awesome place to hang out on a weekend

    First time going downtown to bar hop and this place wasn't what I expected it's a good starting point if you want to grab a drink and then move on. I liked the inside it was different. Those stairs though are a doozy so make sure you are drunk or tipsy cause it could be a bad night. The drinks are reasonable, it didn't take long to get the bartenders attention and if you want to watch sports it's a good spot too.

    This a fun little stop in a downstairs basement (basically). It is a typical bar-y bar bar. Plenty of liquor, beer, and fun. It is a hole in the wall in a good way. It's a small area, but had plenty of seating around the bar and throughout. The service was ok, not anything crazy and over the top...but decent. I would stop back when visiting Wilmington. I would recommend to others for the classic "hole in the wall" experience and vibe.

    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.

Inside we a long and narrow, mostly large wooden booths and a large bar. Darker. Started with sodas, a beer, and the dragonfruit mimosa (I didn't wind up drinking/liking the flavor- but also didnt say anything as honestly know my taste better. Sharing feedback for others that it is on the sweeter side- which you may love). Buffalo chicken sandwich, sauce on side with fries. Enjoyed, typical but large sandwich. Chicken pita, enjoyed- fries on side. Philly cheesesteak with Caesar salad side- really liked. Owner is from Philly, which made a difference. Grilled chicken with side Cobb salad- lots of cheese and mushrooms and onions. Super delicious bread- soft with some flake since still crunch and not soggy. Salad was fresh and delicious. Pork sandwich- my husband liked, it was good but I didn't love the meat flavor. Concepts with having spinach and such was great. Manager/owner(?) came by to each table too. Definitely worth a trip to explore- fresh ingredients. Next time the wings...
