Growlers is a nice bar to head to downtown, however the pool tables need maintenance, and the bar back bouncer has ego problems. Other than that it’s a dive bar, not much to expect.

I went to this place on Sunday night, December 1st, with a friend to have a good time. My friend got a Modelo beer and I got a rum and coke. I closed my tap and paid. The bartender never asked me if I wanted my receipt or not, nor did she offer it to me, which seemed strange to me, but I didn't pay attention. Five days later, I'm looking at my bank account from my cell phone and I'm surprised to find that I was charged $44 by this place for just a Modelo beer and a rum and coke. I don't know in what world these drinks cost so much, and even worse, I don't want to think that the bartender did a generous tip herself. Anyway, I'm reporting this to my bank. Unacceptable.

Chris was awesome!! He was so nice and gave us great recommendations. The games were fun and the drinks were great. Would 100000% recommend. Give Chris the bouncer a raise!

Used to be a fun place but going downhill….denied entry last night because I was wearing a plain white t shirt. Pudgy body bouncer must’ve been upset I looked better than him while barely even trying. This is Wilmington not Boca Raton…. Dress code is understandable in some situations but not this one

I had the most insanely horrible experience. We were not allowed in because our friend was wearing a WHITE TSHIRT. That’s the reason. It was one of the weirdest and most uncomfortable things I ever experienced. He was not in because his shirt was white. What?

I’m giving a one star review because I came to this bar on Saturday, had a great time and my bill was $77 after a $12 tip. But I checked my bank statements and was charged $95. I have the receipt and I’m very upset that bars do this. Seems like it had to of been an accident or the bartender tipped herself extra on top of the 20 percent tip I gave. I’m not sure what happened but I called twice to get an explanation and no one called me back or answered in the first place.

I have been to this establishment on different occasions and have never before had this experience. My home girl and I went in the evening of 2/03/24, walked in, I pulled up a chair at the bar and then waited to be seen by a bartender. My home girl and I chatted for a bit before realizing that no one was taking our order or attempting to service us. We were the only two African American women seated at the bar. We were not hard to miss at all. After waiting a while, a male bartender, who serviced us previously, came to take our order. He was polite and I had no issue with him. I then over here the woman bartender ask, “What did they say”. As if she could not have walked over and asked us because that’s her job. We simply walked in and took our seats. This was blatant. A party sat next to us and the same woman made sure to service them. And yes they appeared to be Caucasian. Doing this any time but especially during Black History Month is very sad. I won’t be returning.

My boyfriend broke up a fight between two people and was banned for it. The two who fought are still allowed in. I honestly don’t feel safe going here anymore.
