The Brewer's Kettle — Restaurant in Wilmington

I had called before coming and I was told dogs were allowed leashed and restrained. Me and my best friend came for music bingo, me with my dog and her with her service dog in training. A customer was letting his French bulldog run around off leash and my best friend was telling him MULTIPLE times to grab his dog because she had a service dog in training and the French bulldog kept trying to crowd him. I was also on edge because although my dog is people and dog neutral, he gets extremely nervous when a dog crowds him. Anyways, the man basically ignored my friend and the dog continued to go near her service dog in training so my best friend stuck her leg out to try to block the French bulldog from getting to her dog. Shortly after, this grown man starts screaming and cursing at her at the top of his lungs accusing her of kicking his dog. My friend tries to stand up for herself but he continues being crazy until a customer (I think) tried to settle it and then the man turned his attention to him and started screaming at him and getting all in his face. The bartender, Katie, started telling him to get out (good for her!) and the man proceeded to throw his card at her to pay before being escorted out. This man was CRAZY but I applaud people for standing up to him including the bartender and for standing up for my best friend with her service dog in training. We’re also thankful to the man with the sunglasses around the back of his neck who immediately stood up to the man, didn’t back down even when the guy was nose to nose screaming at him, and then escorted him out before things escalated further. Everyone in there was super sweet otherwise and even came to check on my friend after the fact. I did overhear that the man goes there often with his unleashed dog so due to this reason, I don’t think we’ll be returning unless the leash rule is completely enforced but everything else was fine! Our dogs enjoyed the atmosphere otherwise. I do want to make it clear that we don’t blame the establishment at all and that this guy was just extremely...

My friends and I stopped by Brewer’s Kettle last Saturday evening to have a drink around 9pm, it wasn’t crowded and we were the only customers waiting to be served. When my friend ordered a martini, we were surprised when the bartender remarked that he hated making those drinks. About 20 minutes later, another friend joined us and also ordered a martini. The bartender told her that he had just cleaned the cocktail shaker after making the last one and also told her how much he hated making those drinks. I usually love going here and was so disappointed by the rude bartender this visit. If you only want to serve beer and wine, please stop stocking...

What a cool local bar, heard about it thru some friends and was spending the weekend in Wilmington.They had some really unique brews and even a cigar collection. There was a DJ playing live music when I went Friday night which happened to be Black Friday. Spoke to the owners there personally, really nice couple, was watching college football at the bar and told them I'd get a cigar if my team made an epic comeback and they did, what a game maybe the game of the year. Will be back, really great vibe here, nice for sitting at the bar or having a small group of friends for a get together, but I don't believe they...
