BlackFinn Ameripub leaving, will become new restaurant

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — Just seven months after opening its doors in Downtown Wilmington, BlackFinn Ameripub is leaving.

Developer Chuck Schoniger says the restaurant will not close, but will transition to a different restaurant with a new concept named Marina Grill.

Schoniger says although BlackFinn had a great six months, the restaurant is having national troubles.

A new Director of Operations for food, beverages, and entertainment will be hired for The Shell.

WWAY was told the transition would happen some time in January.
