ABOUT WILEY GUNTER’S

We’re a locally owned neighborhood beer bar and kitchen focused on bringing you the best independent craft brew paired with freshly made comfort food in a hip, relaxed setting. Beer is what we crave… and since we love it so much, we ensure that it tastes just like those who crafted it intended. We carefully curate and maintain 17 taps and stock well over 50 bottles and cans. Don’t sleep on our cocktail list either. From new and innovative creations to spins on select classics, we’ve got something for everyone. We’re known for beer, but it’s our food that will keep you coming back. The inspiration behind our menu is simple: bar food, done right. We keep it fresh — and everything is made to order. Wiley’s is the perfect place for friends and family, great food — and it’s your local hub for craft beer. The historical building that now houses Wiley Gunter’s was originally built in 1919, around the same time all the rowhouses in the neighborhood were being built. Originally two rowhomes, it was eventually expanded to the size we are today. It’s been host to many establishments over the years — starting with Byrne’s in the 1940s and changing many times to The Cellblock, Empty Pockets, SkyBox Bar and Grill, The Sly Fox Pub… and it’s been our home since 2012.
