Goat & Compass

The ambience was festive & friendly with Christmas decorations. It is simple no frills pub with many options to select from at the bar. The place was well decorated with Christmas lights outside and brightly lit Christmas trees inside. The bartender was efficient and his service spectacular. Our party had different beverages throughout the night. We were planning to visit other bars that night yet we decided to just stay & enjoy our time there.

Closest thing to a pub that Wilmington has got in my opinion. Small, cozy, and friendly. Great little bar to sit at and a few tables for hanging out with your friends. Good beer selection and welcoming vibe. Also walkable to/from other great local spots!

A cozy little neighborhood spot with a laid-back vibe and a steady stream of locals—just the kind of place you want to stumble into after work. The outdoor patio is a definite highlight: relaxed, unpretentious, and perfect for catching up with friends. It’s not trying to be fancy, but that’s part of the charm. Solid service, a wide range of beers on tap, and just an all-around easy place to unwind.

GreAt gem in downtown Wilmington. Dog friendly and great locals. Beautifully decorated! I found my new favorite home brew here. If you like cider, you have to try their trestlebridge. Great night in the city of fun! I will be back and soon!

We stopped here for a drink on our way to a concert. It was recommended by a young guy at another eating establishment in Wilmington. I am not sure how they wash their wine glasses, but the glass had a terrible chemical taste on the rim. The bartender replaced the glass, but the next glass also had a terrible taste on the rim.

Great locals bar. Good prices and awesome vibe. Back outdoor area to chill during those nice days. Some cool events going on during the week there so be sure to check out their page

Goat & Compass is a terrific neighborhood haunt in the Brooklyn Arts District of downtown Wilmington, NC. The patio is the place to be on mild fall days and evenings.
