Rusty Nail Saloon

Known for over a quarter of a century as one of the premier Blues venues in Wilmington, this unassuming club lives up to it's name "Rusty Nail" by setting the stage for some incredible live music. Enjoy the intimate small cocktail tables inside or the seasonal outside patio behind the club. This friendly spot has been a welcoming gathering place since it first opened as a watering hole in 1957. Join them for live shows including weeknight open mics, jams, weekend shows and more. Traveling jazz and blues musicians often share their talents with several events held here during the annual Cape Fear Blues Festival.
