Smaller bar with a good selection of beers and cocktails. Staff was helpful and got us our orders quickly. Often times, theyll host live music which is always a plus. Place was kept pretty clean overall.

People are dirty and delicious, staff is more than accommodating considering the ridiculousness of the beautiful patrons, and the music is ALWAYS perfect. Thanks for the love. Thanks for the memories.

My favorite venue in town by far! Different kind of crowd compared to the uppity clientele at most places around Wilmington. The 2 owners are super cool dudes and the beer prices are great. I’ve seen a few popular bands there and have not paid over 12 bucks!

Cool little band bar it was awesome to go out and see the local 3 piece punk band blow the five-piece from New York off the stage zodiac Panther Rock the place the crowd was my biggest problem and that wasnt really a problem it was just a bunch of hipster douchebags instead of bunkers at a punk show but I guess those are the regulars I almost cut a couple of laps around the mosh pit although you cant call it a mosh pit because no one was doing anything what stopped me was my fear I would kill a couple of those skinny kids if I were to slam through there one time bartender was awesome bar games foosball pinball darts pool I really did like the place and what an interesting and odd group of regulars great for people watching and the drinks were all priced very reasonable as well with lots of douchebag craft beers.

A genuine rock n roll dive bar. Darkness, drinks, and death metal. Those three stars are actually upside down pentagrams. But you need not hail Satan to enjoy a cold beer, just be sure to tip the bartender. I think hes Wiccan, might put a hex on ya!
