Dirty Dan’s is such a fun spot, and Shaynen, the one bartender, is a huge reason why. She brings the best energy behind the bar — super personable, quick, and seriously good at what she does. Drinks are always spot-on, and she somehow keeps everyone laughing and taken care of even when it’s packed. She makes the whole place feel like a party. Highly recommend stopping by and grabbing a drink from Shaynen!

Absolutely loved this place, great vibes with very fast service. The bartenders were friendly and clearly knew what they were doing which made the experience even better. As a girl I felt extremely safe and comfortable making it a spot I’d happily return to. Overall I always have fun here and love coming to dans!

Basement and bartenders are cool and there was no cover but it’s pretty dead and lots of 18 yr olds. Went to the bathroom and my friend and I got kicked out with another group of black girls we didn’t know when I tried to leave because we were black and happened to be in there. No explanation or listening, just that specifically all of the black women in the bathroom needed to get out. Felt racially profiled because we had nothing to do with whatever got them kicked out. I don’t feel good about only the black people that were in the bathroom getting kicked out even though there were other people.

Dirty Dan’s Bar is a true Wilmington staple. The vibe is relaxed, the drinks are strong, and it’s the kind of place where you can unwind without any pretension. And special shoutout to Shaynen,the hot bartender with the bangs.. absolutely the best part of the night. If you like a classic, no‑nonsense bar with personality, Dirty Dan’s hits the mark.

Was fortunate enough to visit this venue on July 4 weekend. Saw Boretti Band LIVE.
Super friendly & accommodating bartenders (even in a frenzy), a highly vigilant security team, everything you would hope for in a nightlife venue.
Was recently hired (as of yesterday) to deep-clean the main bar and patio area. Let me tell you, this place is now SPARKLING. It’s like a whole new freakin establishment!
Highly recommended, Dirty Dans will not disappoint!
Shoutout to the GM and the Owner for caring about the aesthetic of the place enough to bring in a specialist 😉
Setting a new standard for nightlife in the Port City.
What else is there to say?
Dirty Dans Wilmington, FOR THE WIN

Really cool bar with the best of both worlds: dancing to a DJ downstairs and live music upstairs. Always a fun atmosphere and a great place to hang out with friends.
