It was our first time here on a beautiful Saturday afternoon! We came because they were having Latin night and hosting 2 of my favorite food trucks; Wilmiricans and Made in Venezuela! There was also a DJ playing Spanish music! There are tables outside to sit at and inside they have tables and a comfy seating area! Some board games that my teen played! Some games on the side for the little ones as well! It's a great spot for groups and if you have kids they can run around outside so you don't need to worry! The beer selection was good as well! They were busy but service was quick and the girls were nice! Hope to be back when they host Latin Night again!!
This is the place responsible for sticking flyers halfway down your driver side window with no concern that it might rain that day or evening. They did that to my new 1 week old car and the result was a stuck on nightmare that took a lot of time and effort to remove. I had to search three different stores to find a razor scrapper and spent 1/2 hour scrapping it off. The scrapping caused a permanent scratch to my window. And because they shove it partially down your window so it doesn't blow away there is still part of it that I guess will forever remain stuck to the window of my car. Even a novice business manager knows you shouldn't put flyers on cars or you might end up with either a vandalization charge or a lawsuit, which is exactly what I'll do if these idiots do it again. I question the intelligence and the competence of a place that would do this and damn sure would never eat or drink here lest I question my own intelligence.
It really is a cool spot to have beer, listen to music and it is away from Road Noise and large enough to spread out inside or outside. The art store connected inside back right has Wine if you dont do beer or Ciders etc. The Art work is beautiful and exotic from Africa. It appears to be Kid and pet friendly. The Next few Days when the temp goes upp, you should go down and check it out, and relax.
Such a gorgeous view of the bridge! They don't serve food, but sometimes have food trucks. Beer is really good, and they have options for everyone! Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, lots of parking, and really friendly service!
I've been here a couple of times with friends. Recently we went to enjoy the Scottish gathering. There was a food truck (Mommiez) that took forever to get our food - one person working the food truck. There was live music and of course beer! I'm not a beer drinker, so I had a glass of wine with my lunch, an excellent curry chicken salad on a multi-grain bread - a hefty portion of chicken . Friends enjoyed the variety of beers on hand and their lunch too. Someone from the Scottish 'club' had haggis for those willing to try it. I had a tiny, tiny, tiny taste. Yuck!! I can eat pretty much everything but won't try haggis again. We will be back tomorrow for the Oktoberfest (2 Oct 2021)!
Stopped here on the way home from Southport. This is probably my favorite brewery in Wilmington. The brews are consistently top notch. There was an event going on inside today, so it was quite crowded and loud, but we managed to snag a seat on the couches after standing for a bit and had fun playing cards. There is a great outdoor area (but it was super hot today). There were also several food trucks outside. Our service was amazing and as soon as anyone left a table, someone was right there wipnig it down for the next customer. Great beer and great atmosphere.
Today I attended the Waterline Brewing End of Summer party. I had never been inside Waterline before. The building is huge with an art gallery attached to it. There is a stage outside and inside for live music. You can go into that actual brewing part and look at how it's made. The inside has plenty of tables both high tops and low tops. Our table was very shake and spilled my drink on me. I felt the interior to be more "dive bar" like than anything. The beers are great and the service was great. Kids and dogs are allowed here. The view of the Cape Fear Memorial Bridge alone is worth coming here.
This is a good brewery! It's got a huge indoor area and their merchandise is very cool! The beer is good and nice and cold. I love when they have live music and food trucks are also great. They have umbrella's outside, but it still gets HOT! They often have food trucks there as well.
This is a really cool place, has a huge property with plenty of parking available and away from other restaurants and such. I came here for event and brought my wife and son. They have a great variety of drinks from craft beer made in the same building too ciders and wine. They are very friendly and will let you sample everything before you make your decision. The round about price for a glass is 5 dollars. I had a light beer which was very good. Inside they have a stage and plenty of seating and space! Would love to come back next time they have an event or have a night out here.
Great beer selection and entertainment also has food trucks sometimes. Outstanding service by the bar tenders.
Food trucks, live music, fresh draft brews? YESSSSS!! Took my parents there to enjoy the ambience. Now it's a fave spot!
One lovely Sunday, my friend and I were trying to get some steps in and decided to walk all the way over to Waterline. The location is close enough to downtown but is a little bit of a walk, or a short drive. They have a nice outdoor area with picnic tables and games like cornhole, and then inside it is a decent size with a door to see where they brew their beers. They have a good amount of selections on draft to choose from and have some cooler sparkling waters and other beverages like kombucha. The vibe is super laid back. I know that some days they have food trucks and they do little festivals out in the parking lot near them which are always fun to attend. I have really enjoyed some of their seasonal drinks. The Amber is good, their Pickle beer is delicious when they have it on tap, and you can never go wrong with the Kolsh.

The family and I stopped by on a chilly Saturday afternoon for Gears and Beers, not a ton of cars but enough to get us out of the house. Large outdoor area, resident food truck. We walked inside and were immediately greeted by the bartender. I ordered the coffee and cream, my husband had the Irish red and our daughter had some grape juice lol. Which Jessica was so nice to offer her. We found a cozy corner with a couch and a couple chairs and our little one was thoroughly entertained with all the books and games. They brew their beer in house, along with a few THC drinks and a full bar, if beer isn't your thing. We can't wait to come back for one of their many events or just for a chill day/night out. read more

Stopped by for the Oktoberfest event . Found parking with no issue. Super crowded beautiful day for the event , wonderful German music and food . Purchased a ticket for a beer and checked out the food trucks. Decided on a pretzel and beer. The pretzel was from Croftons - it had the perfect amount of salt on it . Had the Oktoberfest beer - beautiful color , taste was smooth and well balanced - not harsh, no bitter aftertaste. Definitely worth it. read more

Waterline Brewing hosted an adoption event for a local animal rescue and for every beer bought they donated $1. They hold many events and bring the public together with great brews! They are pet friendly! I would recommend visiting waterline! read more

One of my favorite breweries in Wilmington! Boyfriend and I grabbed 2 flights so we could sample the majority of the beers on tap. My personal favorites were the Belgian Tripel, Red Ale and Hefeweizen. Great space both inside and outside, friendly staff, tasty beer and dog friendly! What more could you ask for? Check this brewery out if you are in the area. read more

Waterline was our last stop on a two day, eleven stop brew tour of Wilmington. It was super, crazy, nasty hot (105 heat index) outside and their taproom was a welcome retreat. There's a nice flow to the space with seating options from barstools to high tops, to sofas. Outside there's an air hockey table, basketball shooting game (both free) and outdoor seating. Obviously we stayed inside and had a flight of four - and the winners are...the envelope please Rye IPA - the only one I had seen today - bonus points for originality and taste. The Coffee and Cream Lactobacillus beer was also unexpectedly good. Good place to chill out, have a beer and play Battleship. read more
First time at this brewery. We were pleasantly surprised with the appearance of the taproom and how spacious it was. We initially sat at the bar and ordered flights. I started off with Waterline beers. I can honestly say they have a good product. Their stout and Belgian triple topped off their line up along with their red ale. The employees were also great. Very friendly and courteous. We were hungry so we decided to relocate outside for the food truck. Waterline does offer small bites inside which was great. The food truck was 2 Bros Coastal Cuisine. Different review. The outdoor seating area was good as well. Really couldn't tell the brewery is located under a bridge. Overall great experience. The wife and I decided we would return sometime. read more
This was our first stop last night for my friend's birthday. I wasn't sure what to expect as we rounded dark corners off the beaten path. Upon arrival we discovered that it was busy and yet there wasn't a struggle to find parking at all. Outside there was a food truck which was pretty exciting! I wish I wouldn't have eaten before I got there! As we entered I immediately saw pups and was pleased. I'm a magnet for dogs and love that this brewery is dog friendly. Additionally, the live band was amazing! I am a lover of cider so when I saw their board with a few I hadn't tried I knew that's what I was ordering :) I ended up indulging in two flavors from the same company: The first was Schilling pomegranate and the second was Schilling pineapple passion fruit. Both were delicious but the pineapple passion fruit was the bee's knees! Next our group wandered outside too have a friendly air hockey competition. Uh, so FUN! Though we didn't play basketball there were several people enjoying that while we were enjoying air hockey. We also enjoyed walking around looking at the art! This bar was so much fun! The drinks, the music, the fact that it was dog friendly, the games, the food truck... I can go on and on! Definitely need to hit this place up! read more
Super chill spot to spend a Saturday evening! Especially if you're thirsty!! Some of the tastiest brews in Wilmington! Better get to the Dill Pickle Gose asap, because it sells quick! Being a large group or a date, fur babies or actual babies! This family friendly brewery is always a WIN-WIN! Check their schedule to see when they host events. Ya never know when an awesome food truck and band may show up! Parking is simple and never an issue, the staff and owners are friendly and the atmosphere is conducive to making new friends. See you there!! read more
This is easily one of my favorite places in town! Conveniently situated under the CFM Bridge with lots of ample parking, hubs I visit here quite often! They do not frown upon leaving your car onsite as they pride themselves on safety. I am a huge fan of their stout which I what I drink here most often. Hubs likes their red ale and I give it a thumbs up also. I recently tried a special brew that was interesting, yet delicious. The tomato basil gose was very light and needed a side of pasta you can even step into their brewing room for a view of the fermenters! They often have live music and there is even an art gallery on site that you are free to browse through at your leisure. You can almost ALWAYS find a local food truck on site and they are typically hosting some type of event including local farmers markets, bike scavenger hunts, and fundraisers. And if this place couldn't possibly get any better, they are a dog friendly establishment! It's a must-do that is slightly off the beaten path in downtown Wilmington! read more

Waterline has a great outside area and we happen to come on a night with a drumming group practicing and performing! They were super friendly and invited us to drum along! As for their beer, we enjoyed a shared flight of their IPA, Red, Oatmeal Stout, and Tripel. Their Oatmeal Stout is flavorful and very light. The Red was on the hoppy side. The Tripel wasn't as strong as others I've tasted but has a nice Carmel-y aftertaste. Nice and easy place to walk to after exploring the River Walk! read more

Wilmington's newest brewery as of February 2016--we happened to check it out on opening weekend. We went on a rainy Saturday night and this place was jamming! Live music, food truck, good beers, and a bustling atmosphere. My party of four found a gathering spot inside in front of the stage and had a place to set our beers near the soundboard. All the tables and bar stools were occupied, but that was alright with us. One of the roaming bartenders/servers was very helpful and attentive to our needs despite the place being really busy. They had a great variety and selection of beers. My wife and I each got a flight of different beers so that we could try them all. Not a bad one in the bunch! I was in love with their Rye IPA. The music was great too. I would definitely visit Waterline again, we had a great experience here. read more

Knowledgeable and friendly bartender, great selection of beer including very good XPA made with New Zealand Hops and also a Dill Pickle Gose with more of a refreshing cucumber taste with sass than sour pickle. The indoor space was surprisingly large and warmly/festively lit. The outdoor space is large with 13 picnic tables, some umbrellas, a bandstand, and plenty of room for more chairs. This one is a win! read more

Came here for opening night, as part of the bombers beer tour, Mardi Gras, some other event, and most recently the comedy show. This place just keeps getting better. Beers, bands, entertainment, great seating inside and out. Easy bartenders that can even handle huge crowds. There is almost always a great food truck waiting outside to serve you. The beer selection is wonderful. The beers they brew in house are varied and palate pleasing. My favorite, by a long shot, is the Belgium Triple! This is a small pour beer with a lot of punch. The flavor is outstanding!! Hell now that I'm writing about it I may just go down there and grab one. read more

I really enjoyed this brewery! There is a parking lot, which is a definite plus. I enjoyed a Painting with a Twist event there, which I think they do once a month there. I was able to try two different types of ciders. The inside is spacious and well laid out. There was also a food truck outside to enjoy food from, with a bunch of outside seating. The atmosphere is very laid back. I will definitely be visiting here again! read more
