Bowstring

History

Neighborhood bar, burger kitchen, and live-music room at 1002 Princess Street in Wilmington's Soda Pop District, the same business listed as Bowstring Burgers and Brewyard. The StarNews reported a July 7, 2023 ribbon cutting by partners from Raleigh's Bowstring, in a former Coca-Cola plant that bottled Electric Soda and Orange Crush, nearly 9,000 square feet. In March 2024 co-owners Matt Golden, Ben Yannessa, and Brad Bowles bought the building for $2.8 million. The venue's site says it opened in July 2023 and is about 9,800 square feet with a line-array system for national acts.
