Three Chord Cory

Went over to Rick's but when we pulled in the parking lot was so full we were like uhhh.... Looks like a lot wait. As we are traveling further back we see this spot. I recognized it from a flyer I saw and so we decided to kill some time til the line died down. Super cool place. Very friendly staff. You can order takeout from Ricks. Dog friendly. It was unfortunately raining so all the outside seating was wet but there is enough of an awning that we were still able to stay outside and dry. They had Three Cord Cory playing who is awesome! So glad we decided on a whim to stop in. We ended up listening to a few songs, going to Ricks and coming back for a few more songs. My best friend doesn't drink Kraft beers and he was happy with the selection. I bet if we lived around here this would be the hang out for everyone.

What a fun, tucked away spot in Sneads Ferry! I would have never known it was there because it's behind Rick's. There was an open air feel-some "indoor" seating, as well as a ton of outdoor seating. There are some lights strung across the decking and lots of seat options! There is a pathway from the parking lot to the brewery as well as to/from Rick's. There was even a fun swing on the deck for 2 people! They have plenty of beers to choose from but when I said I'm not a beer drinker, the man behind the bar didn't say we have wine until I purchased a beer and closed my tab. But now I know for next time! All the talk about Rick's ... and there is a way to order food from a QR code at many spots at the brewery.

Handmade Topsail brewing mug, flowers from a local vendor, and duck Pond in the back.

SUCH A VIBE! Very family friendly so it feels like it's meant for everyone. Amazing Sunday market, super fun mini golf, cute ducks and turtle Pond, and amazing drinks and brew food.

It was a quiet and cool early afternoon on Friday when I stopped in.the establishment is tucked behind Ricks restaurant but easy to find and get to. They have a really nice outdoor area with lots of chairs and space but too cold on January day. Inside is very nice.. TVs for those wanting that and lots of seating options. I say st bar and tried 4 beers in a flight. All 4 had great flavors! My bartender was very cordial and answered questions I had. It's very cozy inside and I think they have beer for just about anyone. They are already toying with beers they will introduce in spring summer months..

Love the mini golf area, good beer! Huge fan of the pumpkin beer. Would definitely go back again.

I went to Front Street Brewery and got the American Burger. That was a great decision. I had a very long road trip to get to this destination and I wanted to grab something to assist me unwind. I grabbed the FSB Old Fashioned to start and the American Burger to go. The Old Fashioned was amazing! The cocktail brought some serious flavor! They boast about having the largest selection of whiskey and from the looks of the bar, I believe them! The burger was nothing short of spectacular. It was two smash burgers with American cheese, lettuce, pickles, onions, and tomatoes. The price was great for the flavor that I received. This was a great way to start my trip. I cannot wait to come back and try something else on the menu!

We had about a 45 minute wait for a table of 6 which was understandable as it was pretty busy at noon on Thursday. Drinks came quickly as we were seated. Appetizers were hit or miss. Fried pickles were surprisingly good and I'm not a pickle fan. However the pretzel was disappointing. Food was comparable to what you would find at other pubs. My smash burger was fantastic. We did have one issue where the vegetarian in our group got served a chicken bowl by accident. However they quickly remedied it and got him what he ordered ASAP. Unfortunately we were mostly done by the time his food came. They did comp the food that was late which was nice. If you are looking for a good bite and tasty beer then I would totally recommend this place.

I was pleasantly surprised by not only the variety, but the taste, of the beer at Crystal Coast…read more The space is huge (the greatest re-purposing of a Wings beach store that I've ever seen!) They had a huge bar, a lounge seating area, and some high-top tables. In the back, you'll find a small arcade of retro video games (no Skee-Ball unfortunately.) We tried a lot of different beers thanks to the small free samples from our bartender and their various sized pour options. I had the hot chocolate Hand Warmer brown ale, and it was delicious! I followed up my pint with a flight: a Vienna lager (Carolina Rig), a Schwarzbier (Money Island), the Maibock (Suitemates), and the fruited wheat ale (Citrus Tsunami). Each beer was well made. I was particularly fond of Suitemates and Citrus Tsunami - both crisp, tasty, not too sweet. Our bartender was great! The location is really nice with lots of parking and big, bright windows. I never expected to find such great craft beer on the Island, and I loved Crystal Coast. Be prepared - no food!

She walked…read moreaway from anyone who took more than 2 seconds, which would be understandable if it was really busy, but there were only 5 of us at the bar. Beer was good. Lots of really good options, as well as flights. I do like that you can get a taster, half pint, or full pint. They also have to go cans. I did not appreciate that they use only plastic cups, especially being so close to the beach. They are dog friendly.

Waterman's has a very casual ambience - not quite beach-y but with a nice beach-town feel. They have a huge outside space including an area for a band/dj and a pretty spacious interior as well. Their beer seems quality but I did not love that the majority of the options were tropically themed with a lot of fruit flavors. That's not a terrible sin in beer but I would have a like a few more options with more traditional flavors. I did end up enjoying the IPA I got despite not normally being a fan of beers with a lot of fruit flavors. The food was also good if not great. I don't have any complaints, it just wouldn't be my first choice for eating when we're back in town again. I think the strength of this place is the space and casual atmosphere, it was easy to bring our kids to have a nice meal while we enjoyed some beers. The Mac and Cheese was a pretty big hit with the little ones BTW.

With twinkly lights and cozy corners to sit in, it's also a great place for a date night. The server was friendly, hospitable, had great recommendations, and was happy to let me try a few beers before I decided what I liked. The free popcorn was a nice touch too. It's a bit off the beaten path, but not a long walk from the River Walk or Main Street at all. I did miss the bigger fly traps in the back, and the ones inside were smaller (and a different kind) than I was expecting. Still, this place has a really cool, chill, and fun vibe. Highly, highly recommend.

The space, equal parts cozy taproom and shaded beer garden, feels both vibrant and homey. If you're reading this and asking yourself what is the region's native icon, the Venus Flytrap - we have catching up to do. Read history below the review. The mood was easygoing. Two staff members, juggling orders with grace, kept the taps moving and the vibe relaxed. We had the Oatmeal Porter (dark, smooth, layered with chocolate, roasted malt, and caramel) And the Brook's Mulberry Lemonade (a blend of house-made lemonade and beer, fermented with mulberries hand-picked from Brook's garden). Both were super delicious. Flytrap Brewing sits tucked in a quiet Wilmington neighborhood, and it feels like it belongs there. The thoughtful drinks, easy crowd, and unpretentious energy, we will for sure be back! History: The Venus flytrap, scientifically known as Dionaea muscipula, is native to a limited area of the southeastern United States. ONLY naturally growing specifically within a 75-mile radius of Wilmington, North Carolina. This area includes parts of both North and South Carolina. The plant was first discovered in the late 1700s. So respected in North Carolina, removing or poaching them from public lands or private property is a Felony. Purchasing them or growing yourself is praised.
