A bar with better-than-average bar food. Accurate, attentive, and fun service staff. We had a…read morecouple of Highland Brewing NC porters - very tasty. There were a lot of locals and regulars, a very mixed and chilled-out vibe in the early afternoon. We tried the dry wings, 5 Jerk and 5 Cajun. They wings were huge and super crunchy, with okay but not great blue cheese dressing on the side. If you like spice, you might want to ask for extra spicy, since both of these were very mild. The wings were 3-5 minutes overcooked, but still ok. Probably our favorite part was the "NC Poutine". As served here, the dish is spicy fries with brown gravy and some cheese. The fries, which I'm sure came ready-made, were cooked until very crisp, which we like. There is cheese instead of the traditional cheese curd, but it's still an excellent bar food. None of the large serving was left in the basket. I recommend this place for a beer and a bite.

We had the Grouper Bites, Lobster Mac and Tenders Platter for food. And then the Rum Bicket and Pineapple Upside-down Shot were all phenomenal! Pro tip: any signature shot can come as a full drink!! There was live music tonight, which was great! Even though we were told that a table was almost an hour wait, we easily found a seat at the bar to order. So, always check. Great times. We'll be back.

It's family friendly, but mostly like a bar. Some indoor seating and outdoor. You can't quite see the beach from the location, but lots of people watching. They serve Nollies tacos so, the food is delicious. I had a carne taco and a mahi taco. Both were fresh and well filled. I had a painkiller and a simple rum and coke to drink. My husband had their house margarita and it was very good! Surprisingly not super sweet! The place is divey but a little notch up from other local bars. The staff are nice and it's clean. There are a few games, and a foosball table.
