The crowd here is different than the other bars. The bartender was nice and attentive. Lots of room for dancing. They also have a patio to smoke on so that’s convenient.

Maybe I’m not a very discerning dive bar consumer. When the lighting is dim, drinks are cheap, service is friendly, and patrons are gruff, I’m at home. When a cab driver tells me that she«cannot even» or that she fears knife throwing hijinx at a dive, my interest is piqued. Though Barbary Coast’s knife throwing days are over, the lighting is still low, drinks are hella cheap, and both bartenders and patrons are friendly. What I’m trying to say is this place is very much my speed.

Last day of 2015 and I had to grab. PBR! Heard this place sells more PBR than any other bar up and down the east coast. Small crowd, great service with the Thursday bartender -!Ann!- the interior is pretty much what you’d expect from a place called the Barbary coast sitting at the edge of the cape fear. It’s like my fav bands, a group of pirates, and beach bums got together to make their home away from home. Loved it!

Kick ass dive bar. Back patio has the potential for great entertainment. .ill let u figure that one out. Strong drinks and good people here. Fyi…they shot part of Blue Velvet here, so maybe huff some nitrous here before boozing up.

A great local bar. Very eclectic in it’s clientele. The door guys and the bartenders will make you feel very welcome. Always has great drink specials running. This is the oldest bar in Wilmington, so it’s fun to feel a part of the social history of downtown. Be sure to include this on your list as you explore downtown. Don’t forget to enjoy the back deck!

Always a very friendly staff! Owners are thoughtful about their patrons and care about the community. We enjoy watching football there on Sundays with pot luck dishes complimentary provided by owners(I love John’s pot roast!)

Yeah, it’s a dive alright. A really good one, and it’s been in operation longer than any other bar in Wilmington. My wife and I stepped in for a couple of beers one night and we felt like regulars in no time. Friendly people, lots of amusing stuff to look at(humans as well as objects), good beer and booze selection, chill staff. Highly recommended!

Love a good dive bar. Great beer selection, eclectic people & a not so good bathroom sink.

Who would not want to spend some time in this bar. It looks like shit and is run down but is a bar. Take a shot with the bar tender and live like a drunk pirate in the Port City. A must stop for anyone in the town for a night or more.

Definitely a dive bar. Maybe it’s the fact I’ve only been here twice, but here goes. If you’re 10 beers deep into an evening, head here. If you’re looking for something a sailor might not even touch, pick up your ladies here. If you’re looking for a place where the bathroom doesn’t smell like barf, do not come here! All the cons out the way, the service was awesome, the drinks overflowing, and all for a good price. This place puts the dive into dive bar.

The hook game in the back is the most challenging in town. Best dive bar in town and definitely worth a visit if that fits your style. Great view of the river also. Check it out!

Webster’s definition of «Dive Bar»! What you’ll see: blue collar/artistic locals drinking PBR beers. Its a dog friendly bar. I actually saw a dog sitting on a bar stool at the bar! Claims the title of oldest bar in Wilmington.

Awesome bar. The sinks are pretty broken in the bathroom. It’s dirty. I loved it.

The Barbary Coast bar is the oldest bar in Wilmington and full of character and the local ambiance. The owner is great and very friendly. Service is with a smile. There is always a crowd and great bands on the weekends.

Last time I was in Wilmington I visited this bar for the first time. I don’t know why the hell I didn’t the last time. I ended up spending most of my night here. It has everything. A great beer selection, pool tables, jukebox, and a diverse crowd. This place definitely isn’t for everyone… and then again, it totally is. There were so many different walks of life that anyone could feel comfortable here. The place just reeks of comfortability. The bartenders kicked ass and the crowd was cool. Definitely a must hang when in Wilmington.

Haven’t been tere since 2000. Loved everything about it including Zeus or Hercules(can’t remember) the dog that layed across the floor. Anyone tell me the name of the underground hideout bar I used to go to down the street? It’s killing me. Rumors of spirits hangin out in the place?

First, let me state that the Barbary is not for everyone. But I love the place. $ 1.50PBR pints all the time, and that’s what 90% of the bar drinks. The place is almost always crowded, usually with the same people. If you’re looking for somewhere classy — go somewhere else. If you’re looking for somewhere interesting, though, I haven’t found anywhere with more interesting people than the Barbary.
