The Rusty Nail

Tin roof rusted and lots of love. Great talent at open mic on Tuesday's and Sunday's blues house band incredible(bring ear plugs). Legit 5 star dive bar with garden back area where they could serve high tea. Has parking lot(s) and easy street parking. Beer is cold. Bathrooms clean enough.

This is the dirtiest bar I have ever been to. The service was good, and the music was fun but it took 3 days to get the smell of this place out of my nose. I don't think they've ever mopped the floor or cleaned. The bathrooms were tiny and the toilets were broken. So dirty!

Came to Rusty Nail to watch Halloween kills and meet and greet Dr.Loomis from Halloween since it was filmed there. We had an awesome experience.

The house of blues in Wilmington N.C. Great environment, friendly and the best music! Jim is the best host! Definitely will come back

i don’t drink, so i don’t frequent bars. but my friends invited me to Tuesday Blues Night and it was a great time! free to drop in and listen, even if you don’t drink. definitely a cool energy seeing strangers and friends come together to perform for fun!

Always friendly atmosphere with proprietor/host Sandy. Eclectic, music loving patrons. No cover, Blues Jam on Tuesdays with many talented pros dropping in. The Rusty Nail is an authentic juke joint, the real deal.

Such an amazing place!! Jim was amazing! He sat for a moment to talk with my boyfriend and me. Down to earth gentleman. Good music, great ambience. We loved it!!
