Wilmington has a new venue and its a great addition to the area. They have the best bands on schedule. I love the people the food and the atmosphere. Highly recommend going and if you have several friends coming with you, book a table! Picture of Badfish playing in the crowd on 18Jan2026.

I love this place so much! The food is amazing and the venue itself is great. Great selection of local beers! Love the bands they bring in! I’ve been at least 10x since they opened.
I love the small gaming section too for when we bring the kids.

This place is GREAT!!! First time ever being there.
I went to go see a reggae band Signal Fire play. Got there kinda early had a buffalo chicken wrap with tots. The price was decent 13 bucks. The wrap was truly tasty and tots complemented it perfectly. Craft beer selection was nice.
The staff was super friendly. The building itself was spacious and accommodating. The vibe was truly nice for all ages. There were little kids having a blast and dancing to some really good tunes. Everyone was friendly and there were some good lookin females running around to make you smile. Such a great time.

The venue is perfect for shows inside and out. Open concept, decent parking in the lot and along the side streets. If they had a location in Phoenix, AZ, it would give The Stillery some serious competition. I’d come back for a show. On another note…We weren’t impressed with the burger and wings despite “burger” in the name. Wings were just cooked so the meat didn’t fall off the bone, it was a struggle. The burger was unremarkable. But…the tots were really good! Crispy on the outside and salted just enough. We came, we experienced then we left.

Great venue for live music. We didn’t try the food, but drinks were reasonable and staff super friendly. Our first time there so when parking in the dirt lot across the street and trying to get into the building, the doors have a sign that says use “other door” with no indication as to which direction to go. We started the wrong way, but fortunately someone inside saw us, and waved is in the right direction.

Great atmosphere and location. The restaurant was very clean. The burger was okay at best and the buns were cold. I also wish there was more variety to the menu. I do feel that the burgers were overpriced for what we got. I did like the drinks and wouldn’t mind coming back for that. I also went right as they were opening that morning, but I’ve heard it’s a lot of fun at night.

We came to Bowstring earlier today and were greeted by Sam. Great service. Love that they have a Pickleball court available to patrons. We rode bikes all around downtown and returned to Bowstring to watch the Sweet 16 games. We met Ryan and are doubly impressed with this establishment. Ryan was a great server, attentive, informative, and was sure to share why we need to make Bowstring “our place” to frequent. AND.. The wings are yummo!

We went to see Pandoras Box ( Aerosmith tribute band) . They were awesome! They sounded and looked just like Aerosmith, they even had the mannerisms down. Bowstrings is the place for live entertainment not to mention venue and food is great . Special thank you to the bartenders they kept them coming and made us feel good. Thank you Bowstrings for a great time and memorable night. Update 1,9,26 Angel thanks for always being kind and just being you. We appreciate you!

A group of us decided to try those string on a Saturday afternoon and make it the first stop of three. When we arrived there was about to be a really big storm. I wanted to hurry park and get inside, they do have their own parking lot which I found and was able to get inside quick. There is plenty of parking all over the place in this area. Don’t let parking cause you not to go. Just go around the whole block and you’ll see places to park. It’s very clean, very well organized, it’s very large inside. They have picnic tables, high tables, there are computers to place your order without having to speak to a human, there’s a good size bar, and a large area for a band. There was a band playing that day which we were surprised to find, and they were playing Allman Brothers cover band music and had a large following, so there was a lot of good energy in the place. Place. I was impressed with how clean everything was. The floor was nice. Some people had brought their own chairs because it can hurt your back. After a while of sitting at a picnic table. I would say it’s a family place in the afternoons. I don’t know what it’s like at night. My friends ate the burgers, I wasn’t in the mood for a burger. I kind of want to chicken and even though we knew it was a burger place we thought there might be a couple of extra things we could try. I would suggest they make their menu both burgers or chicken rather than just one. There were a couple of kid meals which was a pleasant surprise. I would definitely tell people to bring headphones for your babies and little ones. If you’re going there for a conversation when a band is playing, you’re in the wrong place, they do have an outside area though, but the summer in the south it can be quite steamy. So just keep that in mind. My friends tried some house bruise that they seem to like, I was just not in the mood for anything beyond water. But I had a great time and good people watching and great music.

Cold local beer on tap, great cocktail options and spirits, fun outside games like Cornhole and ladder ball, and a big stage for music. There are several picnic tables outside on the covered patio that are pet friendly! Love seeing something new like this coming into the soda pop district!
While the atmosphere is amazing, I’m really not impressed with the burgers… I asked for it to be cooked medium and she said they only do smash burger style… Which was like a Walmart bubba burger with no seasoning or flavor and cooked super well done. The burger patty had no flavor and was pretty tough. Maybe I will give it another shot soon and they have some growing pains from recently opening.
I also took a star from service as I was taken back when asked for my card to start a tab for ordering diet Coke while still looking through the menu to order the burger… Just weird to me.
After getting my tab, I had to update again… There is no way this tasteless overcooked bubba burger was worth $16 each! I generally leave very positive reviews but the price for the value is extremely unbalanced! Cool atmosphere with great potential but won’t eat their burgers again!
