The Rusty Nail Reviews
Dive bar with great music scene! Very cool outdoor space for meeting up with friends for a drink. No food served. Check out Tuesday Blues nights for excellent, open mic, sponsored by local blues society. Play the blues? Bring your instrument and sign up on the chalk board to jam with a variety of talented jazz musicians! Blues fan? This is a treat you don't want to miss!
Fun blues jam on Tuesday nights, often with some real talent way above typical blues jams. Superb staff, inexpensive drinks, friendly crowd. Great pot luck on Sunday afternoons and the regular band for that, the Rhythm Bones, are incredibly good, playing blues, soul, & rock 'n roll.Some videos I've seen posted here are poor examples of the music. Hopefully, someone has posted better ones more recently!

The Rusty Nail is one great spot to be in Wilmington NC. The staff and patrons are the friendliest around and the live music on Tuesday night nights and weekends ranks among the best blues I have ever seen and heard anywhere! In fact my wife and I are on our way there now, on Thanksgiving , for tonight’s Thanksgiving pot luck dinner. It will be a great time for those who don’t have local family, can’t travel or just want to have some holiday fun. No kidding,...read full review
