Outer Dunes Brewing Company 7976 Market Street, Wilmington, NC 28411

"Absolutely love this place. It’s truly a local hangout without being pretentious and stuffy. Dogs are welcome and well behaved adults. I love that’s one of the few few places around you can go and not feel like you are babysitting somebody else’s kids. Michaela, Summer and Cori always are welcoming and offer samples of new flavors."

"I absolutely love this place! The staff is amazing and the beer hits the spot! The fact that we have a brewery that doesn’t allow kids is amazing! Michaela and Summer and Cori are the best! Must come to place!"

"We went mid-day, so it was pretty quiet. The adults only noticed are posted clearly in multiple spots. Just be aware and if you need to bring your kids, go somewhere else. The staff was very polite and attentive. The interior has a nice ambiance."

"When my husband and I were picking out a venue for our wedding we had a certain “vibe” in mind. Our vision was a casual day at the brewery with everyone getting something from the local food truck. This location was big enough to accommodate our 100 guests comfortably and there was plenty of parking space. We rented the entire location, which provided “the beach house” building (which have extra bathrooms and extra tables/seating), the courtyard which provides as many or fewer picnic tables, games, and tents as desired, and the main building where there is an outdoor screened in bar area and an indoor bar with booths and tables. The courtyard is graveled with brick paver paths surrounding the centerpiece which is the beautiful live oak lit by string lights. It was also surprisingly quiet since it is right off of busy Market Street. The location also has a specific area for the food truck to hook up and set up. We used Lanes Ferry food truck which provided BBQ and sides. We had beer and wine selections for our guests. The beer selection was broad from domestic to craft as well as local and brewed at the location. We rented a few things from L&L rentals(tables, pews, tents) which made the set up even easier. We also made and set up our decorations as well. The last thing I will praise about this place is the owners and bartenders for our special day. They made sure to help out every step of the way from set up to tear down when it started to rain to getting the guests ready for the ceremony and letting us have some extra time at the end of the party to hang out. I would highly recommend this location for parties or weddings not only for the ambiance but supporting local businesses and the owners are amazing."
