I have a place in my heart for pirate themes, grateful dead art and great bartenders named Ryan. Luckily, this place has all of the above. We always seek out this little place when we pass through Wilmington and recommend it to those that do! And they have black cherry truly! My favorite!

Classic dive bar and I mean that with the utmost respect. Unpretentious atmosphere with a welcoming crowd of locals. Respectable prices on beer and drinks. Right in the heart of downtown Wilmington. Pool table and shuffle board if you feel like displaying your athletic abilities. Awesome place can’t wait to go back.

This place is a cool dive bar. Lots of decent beer with a pool table and shuffleboard to boot. Would definitely go back and would love to check it out on a busier night, we went on a Tuesday and were pretty much the only people in there.

Cute old bar, neon and black lights. Punk-ish and old school hiphop music blasting. Cheap prices, fun vibes. Could play pool if you’re into that. Bathrooms are trashed… lol like any old school pub might be…

We were intrigued by checking out the oldest bar in Wilmington... You order at the bar, friendly service! Loud music. TVs. Pool table. Drinks are served in plastic cups. Not overpriced. Decor is very unique. An experience!

Now THIS is a dive bar. Friendly bartender and reasonable beer prices. Rear outdoor patio to enjoy your beverages. Funky decor and cool vibes.

If you're in downtown Wilmington, you've got to stop in. And if there's no music playing, play something, it makes the atmosphere so much better. Loved this place. Had to visit it twice. Apparently the oldest bar in Wilmington. I don't know, but the bartenders were nice.
