🎪 Team Connect

Washington Street Ale House

Plan for after our Saturday games — a short drive north into Wilmington for anyone staying closer to the city.

A Wilmington institution since 1997, right in the heart of the downtown business district. The Ale House is a proper neighborhood pub — lots of brick and wood, a gas fireplace in the back dining room, TVs at the bar, and over 24 taps of local microbrews and craft pours. The food punches above typical bar fare: standout crab cakes, lobster bisque, spicy wings, and solid burgers and tacos that'll cover everyone in the group. Easy parking in the garage across 12th Street.
