Authentic Irish Fine Food and Drink
Welcome to The Harp, Wilmington's most beloved authentic Irish restaurant and pub. Nestled in the heart of the South Third Street corridor, we bring the warmth and spirit of an old-world Irish pub to the Cape Fear Coast.
The Harp was founded on a simple but powerful idea: serve the finest traditional Irish family recipes in a casual, welcoming pub atmosphere. Our chefs take pride in using the freshest locally-sourced ingredients from the Carolinas whenever possible, combining the best of what our region has to offer with time-honored Irish culinary traditions passed down through generations.
From our signature Galway Bay Fish n' Chips to the hearty Shepherd's Pie made with certified Angus beef, every dish on our menu reflects genuine Irish cooking — the kind you'd find in a proper pub along the west coast of Ireland.
