Stopped by this place on a Sunday afternoon hoping for a good time. Unfortunately, we were ignored by the staff — including one of the bartenders who was the manager — for over 20 minutes. No greeting, no service, nothing. After waiting around with no acknowledgment, we left. Disappointing experience. Wouldn't recommend.

We went to Dram Tree for the first time today. We went prior to a show at Greenfield Lake (The Struts) to have a drink and hang out before going to the show We sat at the bar and waited. And waited. And waited. We were there about 20 minutes and no one ever even acknowledged that we were there. If we were repeat customers I would have assumed that we were being ignored due to a prior problem, but this was our first time. After about 20 minutes and watching multiple new people get immediately served ahead of us, I asked an employee if there was a manager we could talk to. He pointed to one of the two people behind the bar. It really wasn’t that crowded. She had been ignoring us too. We all just left and went on to the concert. Really awful and not acceptable. This wasn’t impatience after a minute or two. This was being totally ignored for 20 minutes. No explanation. We will never go back and encourage you not to go there either- so many other great options in Wilmington.

Favorite place in Wilmington. Best Burger, fabulous club sandwich and awesome drink prices. The vibe is awesome here. People are great, bartenders are even better. The outdoor area is seriously better than any other place in Wilmington. The dogs are a plus. Going somewhere alone is always intimidating but don’t be scared of it here. You’ll meet the coolest folks. Bring your dogs for extra fun :)

Only one bartender and no servers for a Saturday afternoon. But she did a great job handling everyone. Food took about 40 minutes to come out. But when it did it was worth it. Dram burger with bacon jam and hubby had the tacos. The atmosphere was fun. Like a dog park that serves beer and food. I wasn't big on the dogs off leash that came up and begging for food. One decided to poop next to a family eating with their kids. But that really is the responsibility of the dog owners. So if you're into that scene, then it's a great place.

Pretty chill spot, but the male barback with long wavy hair is an issue every time we visit. He ignores us while glued to his phone, walks past without helping, or assists others but refuses to help us. When asked, he claims he can’t do anything as a barback, yet turns around and helps others. It’s frustrating and has happened each time we’ve been here.

We went to check this place out because of the musician playing that night. The outside area to sit is nice but most of the seating is not very comfortable. The bar with the opening was busy and looked like a good place to socialize. The woman working the bar was not very friendly, the wings were ok but the short ribs were not good at all. The beer and wine were inexpensive but overall we were not impressed and don't plan on going back, there are too many other places to check out.

Love love love the atmosphere. If you like sitting outdoors and puppies, you're in luck here. Has a Denver feel to it. Good food. Reasonable prices. Dogs running around having a good time. Customers chatting with each other. Very chill vibe.
This is a dog-friendly BAR with a nice atmosphere. Very look if you love dogs; other than that- nothing exciting. I don’t drink and nothing on the food menu blew my skirt up. We got the chips and guacamole- chips were stale. Dram burger was nothing to write home about. Very pretty, outside area for sure. Not a place to go for dinner or if you are looking for a full menu.

The food is good and music on Sunday afternoons is quite enjoyable. However, dogs are allowed to roam inside and outside the restaurant without a leash. For someone who's wife is afraid of dogs, this is unacceptable and if it isn't, should be a health code violation.
