6 Best Irish Pubs near Wilmington

“First time I came here, I was a little nervous, but the regulars are super friendly and the bartender is great!! I went there to read, and while I did get a lot done, it was great talking to the regulars.“

“McLaren’s Irish Pub is one of those perfect little dive bars you’re always happy to find. Laid-back, unpretentious, and full of character. Love that they serve free snacks at the bar, such a great touch and exactly what a neighborhood pub should feel like.

What really made the night memorable was the sense of community. A customer had brought in crock-pot pork with rolls and cheese and was serving sandwiches to everyone. You don’t get that kind of atmosphere just anywhere.

Cheap drinks, friendly people, and a true local bar feel. If you’re looking for a genuine Wilmington dive with personality, this place is awesome.“

“Takeout was my visit but the energy was there! It was Super Bowl Sunday and the excitement was real! I had fun the little time I was there waiting for my order. Irish ☘️ vibes were in the works that day! I got the wings a little too hard but the taste is definitely worth it! Love the bathroom faucet lol 😆“

“Best local waterhole in the area. Great bartenders and customers are all like family! #salute“

“Food fun and friends all in one place!“

“Oh their burgers is the best ones ever. They also have a vegan/gluten free menu that is very helpful with the friends I bring over. My favorites are the the Kitchen Burger and the Salmon dish with the cornbread and rice. Service is always good, sprouts environment, clean and organized, most of the times they will ask what seats you prefer :).

In rush ours it’s good to reserve when you’re going in as a group of 5 and up (but they usually have open seats, haven’t really waited the times I’ve been there)“
