Thursday Trivia Night at The Harp pub in Wilmington NC

Thursday: Trivia Night

Put your brain to work every Thursday at 8pm for The Harp's famous Trivia Night. Gather your team — up to six players — and compete for prizes across rounds covering pop culture, history, sports, music, and everything in between.

There's no charge to play, but we do ask that all teams order food and drinks throughout the evening. Trivia is a great excuse to try our midweek special: $2.50 Yuengling drafts all night long.

Friday: Live Music

Friday nights at The Harp are electric. We bring in Wilmington's best local musicians every Friday to perform live sets that range from traditional Irish sessions to contemporary rock, folk, and acoustic performances.

We support local artists and rotate performers regularly, so no two Friday nights are ever quite the same. Whether it's a solo acoustic guitarist, a Celtic duo, or a full band, you can count on the music being good and the atmosphere being exceptional.

Saturday: Karaoke with DjBe

Saturday night is karaoke night at The Harp, hosted by the beloved DjBe. Come on down and sing your favorites with your friends — beginners and seasoned performers alike are welcomed and cheered on. DjBe kicks things off at 8:30pm.

Our karaoke library spans decades and genres — classic rock, pop, country, hip-hop, show tunes, Irish standards. The crowd at The Harp is one of the most supportive in Wilmington, so even first-timers feel right at home.

Sunday: Brunch

Sunday at The Harp starts early and stays cozy. Our Sunday Brunch runs from 10am to 3pm, featuring a full Irish breakfast menu alongside classic brunch favorites. Pair your eggs and rashers with a $4 Bloody Mary or Mimosa.

Sports Viewing

The Harp is a premier destination for sports fans in Wilmington. We show major sporting events on multiple screens throughout the pub, with particular emphasis on soccer (football), rugby, GAA, and the major American sports leagues.

International matches, Premier League weekends, and major tournaments are always shown live. According to U.S. Soccer, the sport continues to grow rapidly in North Carolina — and The Harp has always been at the heart of that growth in Wilmington.
