The original craft brewery downtown! There is a reason it's been around so long! It's the best. Great food! Great beer! Amazing whiskey selection! Fast and friendly service. Don't miss it.

Wonderful beers & food. We had 2 flights, the jalapeno IPA hummus, perogies, and the pretzel chicken. Everything was delicious! Danny was most helpful with suggestions.
Becky DeLucia
Great place! My husband and I have different beer preferences, and often we find breweries that do one style well, but not others. At Front Street everything we tasted was true to it's style and high quality. THANK YOU to the GM who not only endured we had a great "beer experience" but also spent time telling us about the history of the brewery, and the building itself. Top notch place, to notch service. Well done and thank you!

Quick weekend get-away from Durham and found this gem. The selection of bourbon and whisk(e)y was ⛽ (aka amazing)! Heather was our bartender and terrific in her description of beers/liquors plus the service. Great find!

Have eaten here several times as a local and every experience has been great. Their menu has lots of variety, proportions are generous, and their food is always fresh, well seasoned and delicious. They have delicious beer also, and you can sample before you buy, which is very nice. The servers are always friendly and very accomodating of our needs and of our dog. Nice bar and atmosphere too. Would give this restaurant a 10 if possible.
Frank Alexander
Great place for a weekend dinner and fine ales. Walking distance from the river and a variety of spirits and your basic raven menu. Cozy and delicious.
Sarah Switch
Recently moved to the area and kept seeing billboards for this place, so we checked it out. It didn’t disappoint. Thankfully we grabbed a seat at the bar, the tequila infused beer was amazing and so was the mug of the day special. Great beers, awesome prices, and friendly staff! We’ll definitely be back :)

Best Beer in town forget about all the new Breweries in town lately. Still the best brew!
just ask
Really nice upper scale bar with a southern hospitality hometown feeling. Can't wait to come back and visit most of the places I have seen since not coming home for over 35 years
Michelle Swann
This place is AWESOME!!!!! Food and drinks are definitely on point. The crab dip actually has lumps of crab meat. This is a must try. Great staff also.
Regina Bowman
We loved Front Street Brewery!! The pulled chicken burrito was delicious! My husband thought the American Burger was amazing! The Amberjack English Ale, so good! And our server was excellent, she could hang right with our craziness!!
Jonathon Gross
Great pub-like food and excellent service.
Jennifer Hupko
Always a must stop when we are in Wilmington! The atmosphere is great & the food is always delicious. We sat at the bar last night & had great service!!
Dave Adams
It's a fun place, the food is delicious, the service was good. The bbq sauce on the pulled pork sandwich is truly outstanding. Except, there was not enough, it did not cover all the meat, so I asked for just a little more, and I was charged 50 cents for extra sauce. Not cool. In spite of that minor annoyance, I recommend it, and I will return the next time I am in town.
Michael Sears
Best cooked chicken, falls right apart, delicious flavor. Fresh ingredients made on top the dish drizzled by a delicious cheese. Would highly suggest their pulled chicken.
Shane Hall
Visited on Sunday 6/16/19. Got cocktails and dinner and everything was amazing! Our server, Taylor, and manager, Erin, showed us great hospitality and kindness during our visit. I will definitely return because of those two. Taylor and Erin, thank you so much! You rock!
Jeff Strahler
The food was much better than I was expecting. The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere was fun for a meal. Only had iced tea during this visit. Will be returning to sample their beer selection.
Ken Thompson
Saturday afternoon. Great food, service and beer. Staff is excellent. I will be back again. Less a brewery and more a full on pub. Lots of whiskey and good food. Beer is almost a sidenote

This place is fantastic! TJ was our bartender and he was a true professional. He was super nice, very knowledgeable and made us feel very welcomed.We had a great experience here, with noticeably better prices than their very close competition, and can’t wait to visit again when we’re back in Wilmington.
Craig Childress
This place is amazing! The food, the beer, the staff were all fantastic! Highly recommend!
Kimberly Fisher
Great restaurant in Wilmington with amazing food. We were there on a Saturday and it was very busy, but we were able to sit outside without a wait as it was a bit chilly. Our server was amazing and so helpful with suggestions. Service was extremely prompt and we never felt like we were waiting on drink refills or food. They offer jackfruit which was really nice to see as there are not often great vegan or vegetarian options for a meat substitute. The menu was also Cleary marked for allergens such as gluten, vegetarian, vegan etc which is always greatly appreciated. Would love to visit this restaurant again when in town!
Ron Blois
Any place that offers "a mug of bacon" on its menu has to be a great place! The burgers are outstanding,and the beer selection is outstanding. A fun place for one or a group. Often seating is at a premium.
Zach B.
Food is okay, not the best but not pricey either. It's always crowded here and the hot spot for downtown but it's still got plenty of room and the staff is great. Atmosphere is casual dining and the bar is the center piece with it being a brewery. If you're looking for a fun night out you can't go wrong with starting or finishing it here.
Jack Simpson
Great beer and great food. The servers are awesome as well.
Jamie S
I LOVE ALL the delicious food and the staff is amazing!
Jill Banse
This is a great brewery. It’s a fun atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and were happy to answer questions and make suggestions. We ordered appetizers and sampled some of the locally brewed beers and they were all excellent.
Sapphire LaCoss
Have visited with my mom once and the food was awesome. The service was great. Two years later took my husband and when I couldn't find what I was looking for I showed the waitress what I order two years b4 and she knew right away what it was and ordered it for me. Two years after that I was pleased to see it on the menu. Still great service. Great prices and great food. I just recommended it to someone who is going to Wilmington for work. I will always recommend this place. I LOVE IT.

Service is always great. Food is always well prepared, and the beer is excellent. Be prepared to wait for a table at times because it's a popular spot.
Jerry Crews
The waitress was almost unbelievably nice. She entertained my friend’s children and made sure they were entertained. Service was very fast!
Toni M-B
The shrimp and grits, and service was wonderful! A wonderful option for us since we were displaced this Thanksgiving.
Greg DeCicco
Great beer, try the Tonb Rocker. Fried Shrimp was delicious eith the Alabama sauce.
Lyl Rose
Cool spot for a local beer. Which is what I had there with the Bartender’s advice I enjoyed the coastal Kölsch which was crisp and light. Lively place.
Maggie Mitchell
Such a great place for lunch! Fast service and fresh food. Their Scotch selection is huge and their beer is wonderful.
Michael Whitley
Good beers and drinks. The cook must love sugar because both appetizers we ordered tasted like someone added poweded sugar. Would not eat here again. Go for drinks only!
Jenny Szot
Lighting is way too bright for dinner time and when asked to dim them it was a no with attitude! Understandable! Then was excited about food; menu looked good; ordered the perogies which were pretty decent but was deep fried then served over wilted lettuce as garnish-yuck! Also got the burger and fries and it was horrible. They need to step up quality of food! Worst burger and fries in town!
Teresa Presnell
My son took my husband and I to the Front Street Brewery to eat. I got the Famous Pulled Chicken Nachos, that was the best chicken and nacho meal I have ever ate. The chicken was sweet and the spicy sour cream and black beans, with the nachos. It was devine. Go there try their food you will not regret it.
Joanne Raynor
$9.99 dinner specials. Most than enough food. Service is great and the food is delicious.
Christian Myrick
Recently moved to NC from Alabama. We frequented a spot similar to Front Street Brewery in Mobile, AL. This place didn’t disappoint! Great and fun experience! Our server, Jeff, was super helpful and kind. Plenty of options for beer and food. Definitely recommend!
S Sieveking
Really mixed experience here! Positive - No wait. Best soft pretzel and cheese sauce ever. Yummy pirogies. Sweet chicken burrito. Good beer. Good prices. Negative - Service slow. So so Ruben and fries. Gnats and fly around once our food came. Filthy table edges. Blood on the wall by the toilet paper in the bathroom. Despite the good food, beer and prices...there have to be better options.
scott saylor
$2 dollar craft beer drafts on Tuesday, and an amazing Whiskey selection!
Holly Burch
Love this place! Our first time going was during Riverfest this past weekend and our bartender was awesome! 😊Think this might be one of our new favorite pubs.
Gabe E
Need someone who is willing to actually take to go orders without ignoring your order and leaving phone on while you wait for no response. Am I suppose to call back and talk to the same dummy who ignored me the first time. Doesn’t inspire me to give them my business and neither should you if you expect to be treated like this. Plenty of restaurants to choose from in Wilmington good luck front street!
Andrea McGovern
Awesome food and even better service. In a weekend of mediocre bites, front street and our server Carey were the shining stars
