History
Brought together by three friends who love sandwiches and beer, the half aims to be the neighborhood spot that you can't get off your mind. Set in the Northside neighborhood of Wilmington sits a 1,000 square foot brick building full of North Carolina history. Originally it housed the Wilmington branch of the Durham-based NC Mutual Life Insurance Company, at one time the largest black-owned enterprise in the world. The building would eventually become 'Detour Deli' before closing in 2021. We acknowledge the history that has come before us as we work to create our own.
Specialties
The Half brings a friendly, neighborhood atmosphere along with unique beer and quality sandwiches with flavors inspired from around the globe. We pride ourselves in making sandwiches for any and all folks with a multitude of vegan options and a willingness to accommodate all dietary restrictions.
