201 N Front St, Wilmington, NC 28401

Located in the Murchison Building, Wilmington’s Only Historic Highrise…..

The Pour Taproom occupies a premier, high-profile corner at North Front Street and Chestnut Street, anchoring the ground floor of the iconic Murchison Building, a landmark historic high-rise in the heart of Downtown Wilmington. This irreplaceable location offers unmatched visibility, consistent pedestrian traffic, and immediate proximity to the city’s most significant cultural, hospitality, and tourism drivers.

The business operates within an impressive two-level, approximately 8,500-square-foot space that was completely gutted and meticulously redesigned. The build-out thoughtfully showcases the historic character of the Murchison Building—exposed elements, scale, soaring ceilings, and craftsmanship—while maintaining a casual, slightly rustic, and contemporary taproom aesthetic. No expense was spared in the design, infrastructure, or sound system, creating a turnkey environment suitable for high-volume service, entertainment, and private events.

At the heart of the concept is a 70-tap iPour self-serve system, providing exceptional flexibility for beer, wine, and specialty beverages, complemented by a full-service bar capable of supporting a robust craft cocktail program. Additional amenities include a second-floor game room, flexible gathering areas, and a small commercial kitchen perfectly suited for small plates and appetizer offerings.

A major asset is the existing lease that runs through March 2026, with two 5-year extensions. Currently, the tenant is paying $17.50 psf, including CAM fees, which is unheard of in the Downtown market.

The Pour Taproom is surrounded by outstanding hotels, restaurants, retailers, and art galleries, and is steps from Wilmington’s leading cultural institutions, including Thalian Hall and the Wilson Center. The space directly abuts Ruth’s Chris Steak House within the River Place development and is located just one block from Wilmington’s internationally recognized Riverwalk and the Cape Fear River. Few locations in the market offer this level of exposure, adjacency, and year-round demand from both locals and tourists.
