Flytrap Brewing Brewery • $
319 Walnut St, Wilmington

“Flytrap is a great spot! We stopped through on our way to Oak Island and we needed a place with an outdoor space for our dogs and baby to move around. The beer was really good and the beer garden was lovely. Definitely dog and baby friendly.

I also left my glasses in the bathroom when I was changing out of my travel clothes and Karissa went through the trouble of mailing them back to us in Baltimore! I could not be more grateful. It will absolutely become an annual pit stop for us during our trips to NC! Thanks, Flytrap!“

Mad Mole Brewing Brewery • $$

“Cute place that feels like more of a restaurant that serves beer/kombucha rather than just being brewing focused. Good news is the food is excellent, my fried green tomato BLT was A+. More kombucha than beer options, I wouldn't stop if your sole interest is beer. Cool decor, good vibes, service was friendly. Would stop again for lunch rather than just a drink.“

Edward Teach Brewing Brewery • $
604 N 4th St, Wilmington

“I love the history of Edward Teach the famed pirate so I was determined to check this spot out because I also like breweries. Their beer is great. I had the maple stout, the teaches peaches, and another beer that escapes me what it was but they were all great. I thought it was odd you could not have a flight after 5 , but I am guessing it has something to do with being busy. If you’re a beer enthusiast make sure you stop here when in Wilmington.“
