This place is great! They have a spacious area for indoor seating, a nice partially covered patio for outdoor seating, and a rotating restaurant pop-up in an old shipping container. Our timing didn't work out for their (free!) tour, but we wandered into the mercantile and Lizzie poured spirit samples and explained how each one was made and what made it unique. Very interesting! My daughter got a cocktail that she raved about and we hung out for a bit while deciding what to do for dinner. Really unique place in the Wilmington area that's worth going a tad out of your way for. And it's dog friendly!

Stopped here on whim while travelling back home to Philadelphia. What a great spot. Friendly staff and very tasty drinks. Made sure to grab a few bottles to take home. I had the Juniper Old Fashioned with their Castaway Series Barrel Rested Gin, well worth it. Wish I could have stayed longer, but will return when travelling back down south.

FANTASTIC experience. Definitely recommend the tour (it’s Free!!!). Not sure if you can request a guide but my group had Lizzie as our tour guide and she knew EVERYTHING!!! Would highly recommend her to future groups. I am naturally an inquisitive person and had random questions throughout. She never skipped a beat and confidently answered every single question I had with ease. She was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and upbeat. Lizzie is awesome! 👏 👏 👏 I’ve loved your Luna Bloom Gin now for years but I found a few new favorites via the tasting as well. The building interior is very well styled and inviting and the cocktails from the Lounge were delicious. The gift shop had a great selection too! We got a t-shirt, some bar accessories, and a candle. We were very impressed by the ingenuity of the owner to have opened in February, 2020 and to still come up with ways to keep the place running and thriving through COVID. So proud of you all and wish I could have met the owner to say thanks for the hospitality and inspiring other small businesses (like us) to do big things!

Wow…what a cool local distillery. My wife and I booked a tour prior to a spring break trip to Wilmington. End of Days was our first stop. The tour and tasting was free. This was great as we have attended many distillery tours that are not free. I don’t mind paying but it was a pleasant surprise. The tour guide was Lizzie and she did a great job. Very friendly and informative. She did a great job of explaining each spirit throughout the tasting. The bar offered great cocktails and beers. We also liked the community kitchen which was serving empanadas. This was a great experience and I would certainly go back. Highly recommended!

We visited End of Days this evening (7/31/25) and had a very nice time. The atmosphere was great, the bartender was nice and attentive and we enjoyed our drinks. This establishment will now be part of our regular rotation of places to visit when we go out. Also, I had a chance to sample their barrel aged rum, and it was fantastic! Highly recommend.

I had a great experience at the End of Days. We registered online for the 11am tour and tasting. The tour and tasting is free. If you get Abigail for your tour guide you will be lucky. She is great! You are able to taste all of their products. You learn about the history of their building and how they got started. All of the staff were very welcoming. They also have a lot of interesting cocktails. I really liked the openness of their lounge area. Lots of seating options. We really liked their Barrel aged rum and their cargo mule in a can. They have 2 single room bathrooms for all. It's nice that the knob indicates if in use. There is graveling parking on the side. There is also a kitchen where different chefs provide food on a weekly basis. Depending on the day you go you can get very different foods. You should definitely visit!

Decided to stop by End of Days on the way to Carolina Beach. Will definitely do this again. Parked in their lot, walked in and were immediately welcomed and asked if we had been there before. Answering no, we were ushered into the tasting room where Beth (co-founder) happily explained ALL their spirits and provided a tasting. They also have an extensive and creative selection of high quality merch at reasonable prices. I'm usually a bourbon drinker but really enjoyed their cask rested rum (took a bottle home) along with several other items including some of their canned cocktails (better than most). We grabbed a table and tried a few cocktails. Their bartenders are very good, the cocktail selection is wide and creative and the drinks are well made, balanced, and presented beautifully. It is clear that End of Days pays attention to detail in everything they do.

This was one of the major reasons we came down to Wilmington from Topsail Island for the day. Absolutely unique, historical setting, knowledgeable and friendly staff and amazing drinks. This would make a great small wedding venue! If you want to splurge on a memory to take home, select the chocolate wrapped Luna Bloom gin. It will be a talking piece on our bar for sure!

End of Days was such an amazing vibe! I accidentally stumbled on this place because we were looking to grab a quick drink. It is a super chill environment with seating both inside and outside. We had the black tie club and French bloom which were both hun cocktails and they were spectacular! I am a gin cocktail fan and these hit the spot. The service was also super prompt and the bartenders were really personable. We did not have any food but they had charcuterie boards on the menu. This is definitely a great spot to hang out with friends on the weekend and I highly recommend it if you're visiting Wilmington.

I went into the distillery to buy a bottle of Luna Bloom Gin for my daughter-in-law's birthday! I was unprepared for how beautiful the place was. A group of ladies were in the middle of doing a tasting and there were also people outside ... it was very warm and inviting I definitely want to go here to grab a drink or two in the future!!

Was visiting in town for my niece's graduation and my birthday and really enjoyed the vibe of the place. Loved the amazing offerings of a variety of drinks, including legit mock-tails for my non-drinking friend. The tequila was so good and smooth and reminded me of that celebrity brand. Picked up a bottle among other swag. When I had an issue with one of the products after getting all the way home back in DC, I messaged the company and they responded right away! I was amazed by the customer service and the "we will fix it attitude"! Within days, I received a replacement! Super grateful! My sister is a local and frequents regularly so this just sealed the deal even more for her on how great you guys are- she already knew by the way! Looking forward to my next visit! Until then....

A fun and educational place for a small group social. We had an excellent guild who gave us an engaging and educational tour and was more than happy to answer our questions. The tasting in the gift shop was a wonderful experience, and the barrel aged Castaway Series rum has become one of my favorites. I also love the barrell rested rum. It does get crowded on weekends, but there is ample seating and a great outdoor space for days with good weather.

Awesome craft beers and cocktails. Our faves: Salty Turtle Coastline kolsch style ale, and the Princess St Paloma. Great drinks in the lounge and outdoors. Outdoor area connects to Pura Vida Costa Rican cuisine- it's all made with love. Fun Sunday afternoon in the Cargo Section of downtown Wilmington.

Amazing experience at this distillery. I wasn't expecting much from this area but it was quite bustling on a Friday night compared to other parts of town. Ample parking space in the lot and located close to a residential area. The distillery itself has indoor and outdoor seating. Try out the tasting room to sample all the different types of liquors. The staff were super friendly. The aged rum was amazing, had many different flavors with hints of spices and a sweet finish. After the tasting room, get some recommendations on cocktails with your favorite liquor and head over to the bar to order! Beautifully crafted, strong and inventive drinks. I got the daydreamer that was finished off with a creamy egg white foam and some seasonal garnishes to celebrate December. It was not too sweet and syrupy, citrus and overall very enjoyable to drink. I believe you can also order pizza on premise. Beautiful interior decoration with cozy little books to hang out with friends groups of all sizes.

Do not miss out on your opportunity to visit these cutie pies, taste their delicious rums (and other spirits) and cocktails and be sure to GO ON THE TOUR!! This is a pleasant and inviting space. The front half of the building is the bar, tasting room and merchandise sales; the back half is where the magic/distilling happens. We went on the 20 minute tour, which was the most entertaining and educational 80 minutes I think I've ever spent The tour includes tastes of #allthethings and is clearly conducted by staff who love their job. Don't miss this!

We made a really short trip here mid-day on a Friday. They had a parking lot on the side and a food truck parked right in front on the street. There was a nice outdoor seating section, but when we went it was drizzling so we stayed inside. The employees were really nice! The lady at the bar told us about how the distillery came to be and all the different drinks available. The drinks were good and I wish I had more time to try a larger variety. The place was probably the most welcoming distillery I've ever been to. I loved the style!!! It's kid friendly and they had games that the kids played while we were there. There was a nice gift shop, and it had a good clearance section too. The best part of it was the sampling!! The bathrooms were clean and they have tours available, but we didn't have time to take one of them. We will definitely return on our next trip to the area.

Awesome tour! Spent 2 hours learning the ins and outs of this start up distillery. Great taste testing - and they have a concept kitchen on the premises featuring different chefs. Well worth the effort!

Our group came in midday to try the place out. We began at the Mercantile where we were served samples and given a nice presentation by the owner. It was very informative. following our tasting we proceeded to the bar to place our orders. The bartender mixed us specialty drinks using liquor produced by the distillery. Our drinks were awesome!! Their products are very quality. The building is decorated nicely. The vibe is relaxed. The place is super clean. In addition to alcohol the gift shop sells a lot of merchandise with the logo displayed.

End of Days Distillery was recommended to us by a friend. I enjoy visiting distilleries, wineries, and even like brewery tours, despite my distaste for beer- but I was super excited to come to End of Days because not only can you do a tasting, you can order cocktails! It's such a beautiful space. You can see the care that went into decorating and planning the various seating areas. Both indoor and outdoor spaces are inviting. We did the tour, and the thing I took away the most was that End of Days was a labor of love. The owner and business partners told us about their process and how the business came about over the years. It seems there's a genuine respect for one another and more than once we were thanked for our interest and visit. So, is their product any good? Yes. My husband got the Rye Old Fashioned, which had a logo stamped ice cube, very cool. He enjoyed that while I ordered The Hurricane Warning which is Port of Entry Rum, House-made Passionfruit syrup and lemon. It was served up with a huge pineapple wedge and raspberries. We brought home the barrel aged rum and the Luna Bloom Gin (beautifully purple thanks to butterfly pea flower). The "Mercantile" gift shop sells their products along with shirts, hats, mugs, flasks, and even earrings of their logo. They do have their own small parking lot, there are two restrooms kept very neat and clean. I would absolutely love to return and will.

What a cool place, The line service situation has to be better, they need to keep thinking about ways to make that better, it is like herding cats. It maybe time to expand...or order from your table via app? Table Numbers on the tables..shooting from the hip One recommendation is hang your QR menu from the Ceiling fairly large from some chains so people dont have to run around the room, they are already in line now they can shoot the menu with their phones. The drinks are pretty amazing and the tenders are very good a friendly, while herding those cats. Oliver, showed up in time to put out chairs for people standing, not because of not planning but because rain made it iffy to put them all out. All in all it will be a place to bring the friends and family. I am old military so I recognize the Quonset hut, well improved on, that it has alcohol. lol What a Great place and Very good drinks and the staff was very friendly even though the line was very long and unending. Well Done Oliver and Staff!

A Wilmington gem. Their bar area offers cozy seating and a nice atmosphere. Their drinks are stellar. End of Days' liquor is so smooth and flavorful that you can truly drink it straight. However, their bartenders are skilled at their craft and have developed some of the best cocktails in town. I do appreciate they have several N/A distillate options so you can enjoy their signature cocktails without the booze. You are really getting what you pay for here! They have a mercantile area where you can often sample the liquor, plus purchase it. They have shirts and other merchandise available as well. Be sure to check out their website, as they have live music & food trucks many evenings!

If you are in Wilmington you have to go to End of Days Distillery. Starting with a no pressure tasting the amazing staff led my family through a thoughtful tasting of their amazing liquor. From gin aged in wood barrels to exquisite rum, vodka and tequila every taste was amazing. The attention to detail in the preparation was astonishing! Afterwards ordering cocktails and appetizers at the bar was so much fun and the selection of seasonal and inventive cocktails made this a perfect stop. Kudos to distillers and staff for making this a wonderful experience!

After posting my first review the business reached out to me with a sincere apology. They welcomed me back to give my experience another chance. I believe they care about their local customers and truly want to make things right. We are back today to enjoy the beautiful spring weather here in Wilmington. The expansion of their outdoor space is perfect to have a delicious cocktail and relax.

If you are looking for a spot to have a quick and refreshing drink, this is the spot. End of Days is a super quaint and relaxing distillery and bar. I waited at the bar for a little while as it was pretty busy for a Wednesday. While I waited, I watched as the bartender took the time to craft each drink. You could tell he really loved and was passionate about his craft--it was truly an art watching him work. When it was my turn, the bartender warmly greeted me, and I decided to order the Queen St. Kola. Wow! Super refreshing and a hint of heaviness and cinammon from the cola mix and rum. It's not super strong, but so good! Inside the cute and quaint distillery is a tasting and shopping area. You can try all of their spirits and buy them as well. The customer service there was amazing too! Do not sleep on End of Days! This is a must to go to while in Wilmington!

End of Days Distillery is a great spot to hit in Wilmington for what will surely be one of the greatest craft cocktails you've enjoyed. Located right in the cargo district of downtown Wilmington- here you'll find lots of exceptional local businesses. I love enjoying a great adult beverage. However recently I've decided to not enjoy so many as of late. One of the things I applaud EOD for is their willingness to make some of their crafted drinks into a virgin option. This is great for any friends you may have that don't enjoy drinking, mommas to be, DDs, or just friends that aren't quite legal age yet. They have these drinks denoted on their menu as being able to be made without the alcohol. Our most recent visit here, I did however try out a new cocktail that was recently added to the menu. The French Bloom. It was a beautifully crafted gin cocktail that is purple! Who doesn't love a pretty purple drink, garnished with a flower from their very own garden on the patio. The mixologists here are very knowledgeable and can answer just about any question you might have- they also can help you figure out what you might like to sip on. EOD distills their very own rum, vodka, gin and sometimes bourbon! The taste of each is exceptional for being such a small place. The drinks are also reasonably priced for what you'd expect for a cocktail from a local distillery. They have a small selection of beer for those that may not want a cocktail, there are also a few snacks for purchase. On occasion there will be a food truck parked out front too. EOD is also dog-friendly & we always enjoy their spacious patio!

While staying the night in Wilmington, NC we came here before dinner to try a couple of cocktails. They have a cool spot in what looks like an older, converted garage. They have a food truck out front, allow dogs inside, and have a patio on the side for guests. They also have a private parking lot. The staff was friendly and the drinks were good. They serve their own spirits and even have some interesting offerings. We ended up grabbing a bottle of vodka to take home. Highly recommend!

In an old rounded metal building, the rust on the outside adds to the rustic ambiance! When you walk in there are little pockets of seating and some nights live music too! A few spots to sit at bar and then an area to walkup to order your drink. They are dog friendly inside and out, we enjoyed the outside patio with our Pup! They had a big water bowl out there which was perfect - so no need to ask for one. In house charcuterie you can order while supping on beverages and/or they have a food truck outside for heavier options. Overall fantastic experience and will be visiting next time we make it to Wilmington!

Not a bad little place to grab a drink but I do wish they had a little more in the food department. Cute little place to stop and grab a drink. You can sample their different products in the store inside to decide what alcohols you like before you order. The woman giving the samples was very knowledgeable. I ordered a drink at the bar that was made quickly and was quite tasty! Slightly disappointed I only had time for one drink! I looked over the food menu and wasn't overly impressed. Mostly small views little a charcuterie board but nothing that screamed at me. Then again, that's probably just me being picky. The atmosphere was refreshing. Plants all over, clouds of some fluffy plant hanging from the ceiling. I would definitely go back next time I'm in Wilmington.

After a virtual Yelp event, I knew this was a place I really wanted to visit! It was definitely everything I hoped for - Great drinks, awesome staff and a cool atmosphere! When we got there they suggested a tasting in the mercantile room. It was helpful to taste a small sample of their vodka, run and gin. Then at the bar Gus was a true artist making our tasty cocktails with their spirits. I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked their gin so I got a mule. As we were hanging out on the comfy couches, Oliver, who was on the yelp event and is a co-owner, checked in with us and also invited us to join a tour. He explained the entire process and also showed us Percy the pot and Tilly the still. They are aging barrels of whiskey/bourbon and will soon be released. It's really a cool, spacious place and everyone was so knowledgeable and friendly. Can't wait to come back.

End of Days really knows how to create a refined liquor flavor palate! The owners are also super nice and welcoming. You can tell they and the employees really take pride in their craft. I got to taste all their products at a private event and can tell you- all their products truly speak to how much effort and thought has gone into making this business a success. This is their passion and they are *GOOD* at it, fact. If your in Wilmington you have to check out EOD. They got housemade gin/whiskey/rum/bourbon, something for everyone. Along with mocktails that are unique and great for a DD to still have a good time! I'm not normally one to sip liquor straight or even on the rocks either, but all their distills are easy sipping, balanced and professionally formulated/aged. Plus their set up/setting is beautiful and a easy atmosphere to commune with friends/family/date night. Very versatile, welcoming but also comfortable.

What a unique place! Meet up with friends intending to have a drink and catch up. This is definitely a place to do that and more. A solid choice of well engineered drinks makes you feel extra fancy and well taken care of. The charcuterie boards offer a variety of snacks to accompany your drinks. Enjoy a tasting and take some of the spirits!

End of Days Distillery is my go to for a ladies night out. I have been during the day and night and both times are wonderful for different reasons. The daytime is very laid back and often times not very busy. They have indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. The nighttime gets much busier, but typically has a food truck. They also have a parking lot, which is a big plus in my book. Before I get to the beverages, they do have a little snack area with some small cheese plates and other items you can choose from to get some snacks in while you enjoy your drinks. I love their espresso martini, however, my friend tried their new Luna Bloom gin in a cocktail and it was delicious. It also comes in a large glass. Their is also a gift shop in the distillery with merchandise and some new canned cocktails like the Gin and Tonic and Cargo Mule.

The smoothest (award winning) vodka I've ever had! EOD in-house distills their own vodka, gin, rum, and whiskey in the foreseeable future. You can buy their alcohol at any ABC store in Wilmington or through Spirit Hub in these states: Illinois, Nebraska, North Dakota, and New Hampshire (as of 10-24-2020). The distillery has a classy lounge and cocktail bar open to the public Wednesday - Saturday from 11 am - 9pm, and Monday/Tuesday by appointment only. You can book company tours, private events and things of that nature on their website. Every week they post on social about the food truck and events line-up for that upcoming week. Some reoccurring trucks include Made in Venezuela, Vital Seen, For The Shell Of It and 2 Bros Coastal. The bar. The cocktail I recommend most here would be their Negroni. The menu changes with the seasons but the bartenders generally honor typical cocktails. I can't say I've ever had a bad drink here and I do believe they're worth the bang for your buck, averaging $12-14 a drink. The environment is modern classy with multiple indoor and outdoor group seating options. I highly recommend locals and tourists check this spot out.

Located in Wilmington's up and coming cargo district on Castle Street Wilmington's first full service distillery is welcome addition. A distillery with tasting room and bar is one thing we have been missing here and End of Days and done an amazing job with their distilled spirits offered and the renovated space in which they are located. They currently offer a Vodka and a Rum but have Gin in the works to be ready near Azalea Festival and a quite a few others. The Rum they have is just as good. Nice warmth and subtle sweetness and a 42% abv this is a great addition to and liquor cabinet. They Vodka is absolutely amazing. Smooth warm with subtle flavor that will make you think twice about buying any other brands. Skip Grey Goose and get a bottled this one trust me on this. I could spend and hour talking about how nice the building is and the amount of care and attention the owner took when designing I it. Detailes like the wooden walls hand charred to the same level of oak barrels that at first glance just appears to be a painted black wall. speakers to the owners passion for his craft. I spoke with the owner today when I stopped in for a tasting and was so I impressed with his passion for distilled spirits. The last to talk about here are the staff. Everyone I met today (and sorry for not remembering names) was amazing. Everyone here seemed super passionate about their business and it shows. Every interaction I had made me feel like some VIP visitor! Awesome job creating some special here guys. Looking forward to coming back for years to come. People of Wilmington we are in for a treat!

We signed up for a distillery tour not knowing just how niche EOD is in the Wilmington community. Ali was our guide and she was fun, knowledgeable and a clear member of the EOD fam. By the end, I wanted to be too! Seriously considering the barrel investment program - nothing better than supporting local businesses and EOD is a stand out in various ways. The repurposed building material is both intentionally and wonderfully detailed. The same concepts are applied in their cocktails and spirits. The quality, flavors, processes ... no corners are cut and you can taste it in every sip. We sipped cocktails on our tour and enjoyed the final tasting - all are so crisp and clear, but their gin and Bourbon are top notch sips I'll definitely be back to enjoy. And I'll be keeping an eye on future Bourbon releases for in-house enjoyment.

Wow, what an awesome spot to get a nice drink. This place is located on castle street in a rustic looking building. The cocktails are nicely balanced with fresh juices. I love that while I'm here I can pick up a bottle of gin to take home and they carry plenty of bar accessories for purchase as well. I'm a fan and will be coming back again soon for a tour and to continue adding to my collection. Side note, the barrel rested gin is incredible and makes a really nice gin and tonic.

This is a great distillery! I have been multiple times! My first time though I was the only one signed up for my tour time slot and instead of blowing me off or trying to move me to another time the owner said grab a cocktail if you would like and you'll have a private tour! It was awesome! I had done many distillery tours so he got into more of the details about their process and showed me everything! It was fantastic! I love all their products but especially their rums and vodka! Their rum is one of the few that's not molasses based that I love and the rested and aged rums are so buttery smooth that they are often my after dinner cocktail. Always neat with those because they are too smooth to mix or water down with ice! The vodka is fantastic too! It's actually so good you could drink it neat but it mixes amazingly too! I'm honestly not a gin girl but their gins are great especially their aged gin! They have great bartenders too so you can't go wrong with cocktails there. I'll be back every time I'm in the area!

This is a really cool place!! Upon arriving I saw the front was wide open and very inviting.. I got out in parking lot and walked to side door where they have this very nice outside space with lights hanging and tables out and prob really nice on cool night!! I walk in and was one of only customers but it was noon at time. The staff and owners were so nice and friendly.. I was told the mercantile was where tastings were so off I went! Lol... the young lady at register also did my tasting..the regular tasting was free if I wanted to taste the aged liquor I only had to pay$3.. no biggie!! Miss Ali is an amazingly informative employee.. she's extremely sweet and charming.. she told me about each thing as it was poured and all the notes and flavors that were combined..some of the things I found very interesting like the butterfly pea flower gin.. it's a gorgeous purple blueish color and the smoothest gin I've ever tried! She was an amazing hostess!! Then after my purchases we walked into bar area and I told her how cool it was and open do she walked me into back where all the magic happens.. again very informative very laid back and very clean . I would love to come again when I can bring my hubby and we can try some beverages made with their products!! I hear the bartenders pretty amazing too!! They have only been open a few years and there's nothing I love more than local!! Can't wait to go back

Great tour with the co owner on a Saturday late afternoon. The spot was popping, Wheelz Pizza had their pizza van there, live music and beverages flowing. There are 4 free sample tastes in the shop or ypu can pay $3 to try all their samples to help narrow in on your cocktail selection. I had a bourbon sour (with whisked egg white) and the day dreamer (see photos- run, grapefruit and cinnamon syrup). Both really hit the perfect tone and taste. We will definitely be back next trip to Wilmington!

I never leave reviews but i loved my visit here! Very pretty inside, all workers were nice, and made yummy drinks. Also had some board/card games which was nice. Had a great time doing a tasting here. Would recommend to go with friends or on a date

This has been one of my favorite places to grab a drink. The environment is simple and elegant. The workers are highly skilled and make amazing drinks. The drinks in my review range from 10-13$ which is absolutely fair for a hand crafted cocktail. This team is very creative with their ingredients as well as their presentation. Will definitely be coming back.

We did not stay long enough to do a complete and accurate review of the whole place. We pulled up and there is not a ton of room for parking. The building is so unique and I loved how it was decorated. There is an outside seating area and I would have loved it if there was a band playing. Inside, there was a HUGE line for drinks. So much of a line that we left. The drinks are quite pricey but from what I have been told they are very good. They had Wheelz pizza food truck there.

So great!! The history of the building, the background of how the distillery began, and the history of the wood the tables and bar are made of is all so interesting! The tour is worth the time to learn everything about this place and their spirits. The cocktails are amazing!! This will be a place we take our friends when they visit.

I consider myself a spirits guy over beer, so when I heard there was a distillery in town I was excited to give it a go. I came here at the recommendation of a friend and enjoyed the experience. When we arrived it was advised that we try a few of the spirits in their tasting room. They distill their own vodka, rum and gin so there was a quite a variety. I was really astounded in the taste of their gin. It had a heavy floral taste of which I was not expecting. I really liked it and could see it pairing well in a cocktail. After the tasting we were invited to join a tour. We were explained the entire process of how they come up with their spirits. They showed us the aging barrels and giant stills. It was also mentioned they were going to come up with their own take home kit to where you could turn their white rum into a spiced rum. Im waiting for this and will be back. I love spiced rum! After the tour I had a cocktail called the Trolly Car which was very good and I also had their Rum Old Fashion. When they made the Old Fashion they burned I believe a piece of cedar with a torch and placed the glass over it to capture some of the smoke before mixing up the drink. You could really taste the smokiness to the cocktail and it was delicious! Next time Ill probably try a few gin cocktails. I definitely recommend a visit!
