Venue is so pretty

The venue was amazing. We loved that it had 2 floors to help separate dinner from the party afterwards.
Shoutout to the new management that took over, they were amazing, helpful & responsive. They made our wedding a dream and if we could we re play that day we would. Thank you ironclad!

Perfect wedding!

Ironclad was truly the perfect venue for our wedding. As two brewery lovers, we were excited to find a venue in Wilmington that was not only beautiful but unique with their own beers! Annette (the fabulous Director of Events) was amazing to work with and made sure that all of our small details came to fruition. She was willing to answer all of our questions as we planned for about 2 years. I had 0 anxiety throughout the day because I was taken care of and our guests all shared that the staff was friendly, attentive and made awesome drinks. I truly could not have imagined a more perfect wedding. If you are looking to have a wedding in Wilmington, look no further!

The perfect wedding reception venue!!

We had our wedding ceremony at a church and our reception at Ironclad Brewery downtown. It was the exact brewery aesthetic we were looking for! It was great for guests too as it was walkable to the hotels downtown. We had a big after party at Pour Taproom (1 block from Ironclad) and it all turned out so well! We used a wedding planner which made all the coordination stress free so we could just enjoy the day. The Ironclad staff was fantastic and we had the night of our lives!

Awesome venue with amazing staff!

We have been to Ironclad several times and have always had a good experience. The beers are decent and they also have a good seltzer selection. The bartenders are great! They are all very attentive, polite and helpful.
We decided to have our wedding here as it is a beautiful venue. Rachel was awesome with helping us get all the details worked out. The day of the wedding, their staff were amazing. All of our guests commented on how nice the venue was and how polite and helpful all of the bartenders were.
If you are looking for a great venue or just to stop by and have a relaxing drink, this place is awesome!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
