About Front Street Brewery
Front Street Brewery is a brewpub in historic downtown Wilmington, anchored here since 1995. Its building at 9 North Front Street began as a dry goods store in 1865. A men's clothing store, Foy, Roe & Company, filled it from 1940 until 1982.
Google describes a microbrewery with house beers, upgraded pub grub and daily tours of the brewery. The menu pairs dishes with the house beers, like Port City IPA, Amberjack English ale, Original lager and Riptide raspberry wheat. Original Lager goes into the batter for the fish and chips.
The kitchen leans Southern. Look for Low Country Grit Cakes, Shrimp-N-Grits, fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese and a Calabash style seafood platter. The menu marks vegetarian and gluten friendly dishes.
The brewery calls itself family-friendly and invites you to bring the kids. Upstairs, the taproom event space has pressed tin ceilings and wrought-iron railings. It is one of the most reviewed beer spots in Wilmington on this site.
