Bull City Ciderworks opening taproom in Wilmington

WILMINGTON, N.C. (WWAY) — Bull City Ciderworks says it will  open its fifth taproom in North Carolina in the Port City.

The newest cider bar plans to welcome customers early summer in the up-and-coming “Cargo District” at 615 S. 17th Street.

A specific opening date and hours have not yet been established.

“It’s an exciting opportunity for us to open the doors in Wilmington,” said John Clowney, CEO of Bull City Ciderworks. “Eastern North Carolina has been an important distribution location for us for several years. We started searching for a suitable spot pre-pandemic and are very excited to bring some new energy to the craft beverage scene in the Port City. We’ve already started reaching out to other businesses in the area to partner with as we prepare to commence operations. Our brand has a strong commitment to the community in our existing locations and our commitment to Wilmington will be no different.”

In addition to serving its lineup of award winning ciders, the taproom will also offer cider cocktails, craft beer, wine and non-alcoholic options. The taproom will be family / pet friendly
and feature year round outdoor seating as well as fire pits.

Bull City Ciderworks is the Research Triangle’s first owned and operated cidery, starting in Durham in 2014, and is one of the largest cideries in the Southeastern United States.

The company operates taprooms in Cary, Durham, Greensboro and Lexington.
