This place is pretty cool. Had a great area to sit outdoors and drink and people watch. Just inside is a number of pinball machines and a pool table and a smart times machine. The bar is pretty simply lit, but I enjoyed the large selection of beers on televisions above the bar and also connected to the untappd network. The staff was very friendly and the process were reasonable. I would definitely come back here to see the selection grow. Please bring in brewdog from Ohio!

Probably the most diverse and unique draft list in Wilmington at any given moment. Also a really solid bottle & can selection. Something for everyone, I never have trouble picking a couple new brews to try.

Came here with a friend we were visiting from out of state and I really liked it. The craft beers I sampled from my friends were great as well as the mead. Bartender didn't know how to make my drink which was only 2 ingredients and charged me $15 for it which was a bit much and I didn't really know how to handle that. It wasn't complicated or top shelf ingredients. It was at most, very most, a $10 drink that I usually get at other places for $5-$7 but I was so caught off guard I just paid the $15. The bathroom was clean. Loved that the they have pinball machines and are dog fiendly, not that I had my dog with me. Would go again for sure. *edit The drink I ordered was a Godfather, scotch and amaretto over ice in a rocks glass. I can't figure out how to reply to replies. I don't expect every bartender to know every drink ever invented because that's impossible, I was just thrown by how much I was charged. I am from another state so that could be part of it.

Best place downtown to have a drink and mingle with friends. This place is low key and everyone is always so friendly when we come here. Definitely one of my favorite places in Wilmington. They have a great outside area where you can sit and chat. The restrooms are clean with plenty of products! Would highly recommend Cape Fear Wine & Beer if you are in the Wilmington area!!!

Showed up at opening (1pm) with my nephew. I understood it may have been a 21 and older. We couldn’t call to check. They didn’t answer before opening. So, we thought we would stop by and see. Maybe they serve food and can have under 18? We don’t know. A gentleman enthusiastically greeted us as we walked up, before I could ask anything about my nephew (who very obviously appears to be underage), and the gentleman said “Come on in folks”. We accepted his invitation only to be told almost immediately by the same person upon setting foot inside “,You know, it’s 21 and over…” Edited my original review, after Owner’s reply. Thank you for your invitation to return.
