“Was there on Saturday afternoon and was a great place to hang out. Preston the bartender was the best! Will be going back for sure!!“

“Good beer and great food truck Grimm“

“Had some great brews and tunes at the waterline! Four bands doing some punk inspired rock. Some early sound issues plagued the first hour or so, but once they figured it out it seemed to go smoothly.
If you're in to local, entry level music this is worth checking out.
The venue is nice, tucked away by the cape fear bridge it has a nice outdoor area and an indoor bar and stage.“

“Amazingly delicious beers! Very welcoming environment!“

“Love this place from day one! The new venue is beautiful! Staff is wonderful! Kelly and Nancy were so helpful and friendly. Appreciate them and all the staff! Can’t wait to go back! Also beer to go and kegs always available! Thank you Wilmington Brew and your help with my last event!“

“Dinner was fantastic. We sat in the resturant’s relaxed, outdoor atmosphere. Our waitress, Kaiyah was an absolute doll. The service was bubbly, polite & super friendly,, the food was quick & cooked perfectly, the ambience was superb! Highly recommend! We will all be back!“

“Good food and good brews.“

“I go to Edward Teach every time I visit Wilmington because the beers there are really awesome - some of my favorite brewery beers anywhere. What a great building - an old firehouse that was really nicely redone to accommodate this brewery. And at the times when they've had music on my visits, the quality and sound levels are perfect.“

“Didn’t get to hit the restaurant while in town but my wife surprised me with a IPA pack from Bill’s during a beer run. Good stuff, trying to find some in the Triad area now.“

“My daughter had her wedding ceremony here in November 2023. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that everyone was well taken care of and every need was met. The wedding coordinator was incredible and even offered to shuttle us to and from our Airbnb. She went above and beyond to make sure the experience was stress-free and magical, I cannot recommend them enough! Thank you for a perfect day.“

“I hosted my son and new daughter's rehearsal dinner at Wrightsville Beach Brewery's event space earlier this month. Katelyn, the event coordinator, was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, she was incredibly responsive, addressing all my inquiries and offering valuable suggestions throughout the planning process. Katelyn and the entire staff at Wrightsville Beach Brewery were fantastic and accommodating. The food was phenomenal, and the venue received numerous compliments. The evening surpassed all expectations. I enthusiastically recommend Wrightsville Beach Brewery for events or simply for enjoying their delicious food and beer.“

“If you have not tried this place, you have to come over here right now. It’s not just a meal, it’s a whole experience. The atmosphere is amazing, like a chill little place you’d find in Seattle and the food ?️??️. I came for the mocktails (get the Elderberry Moon-it will blow your mind.) but 1. This is the best pimento cheese ive ever had in my life, the vegan ranch is crazy good and bro VEGAN GOUDA! im not even vegan! For real, this was my first time here but it will NOT be my last. Literally cant wait to come back. Thank you so much Robin for this special place, and Jackson is perfect at what he does. You guys rock. ❤️❤️“

“Great beer selections, great owners, and great staff. Great vibe. Outdoor and indoor areas are wonderful. Appreciate the atmosphere and music as well as laughing with the crowd at the bar.“

“Discovered this place today while dining at CheeseSmith across the street and glad I came. The place is pretty cool looking both inside and out and huge. Did an impromptu hard cider tasting and was surprised how much I enjoyed them. So much so, I went home with one called Beetnik which had beet juice in it. Will definitely go back because there were a couple of other ciders I enjoyed.“

“Great beer selection, and atmosphere. They are very dog friendly and have a nice outdoor area. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I would recommend making a stop to play some games and enjoy a beverage or two. The draft beer selection is great and reasonably priced. Don’t forget to ask Preston about the slushy drink!“

“I used Port City Brew Bus as an event for my apartment community and it was absolutely amazing! They worked with me to make sure that they could fit our budget, communicated well, and gave our residents an amazing experience. I cannot say enough great things about them! If you ever have a chance to hire them or join one of their experiences you should jump on it!“

“Food is great, Beer is great.
Service is okay,
Atmosphere is great.

We had their chicken nachos 10/10, it can out very fast and hot and tasted delicious for that shredded chicken to stay that moist is amazing, for the nachos not to get soggy was amazing.

We also had their pretzel chicken sandwich 20/10 this is something rare to find. Unfortunately I won’t spoil it for you, come down and try it for yourself.

We had the Tomb Rocker beer with a 8.6 ABV and it’s not a IPA come on……… A Yo! Come try this beer for yourself and the everything else I mentioned.

We are picking up some beer on Monday Labor Day before we had back home.“

“I am so psyched to be seeing SPAFFORD at such a great, intimate venue. See you there June 21. Prepare your mind to be blown by the band.“
