You just have to come in to see! Great prices on most everything! They have no CO2 dispensers for non alcoholic beverages. A great local bar that is non judgmental for the most part. After 10:00 some others may drift in but it is a bar & the locals that have a job & time schedule makes the early appearance here a great experienc.

Good selection of beers and I'm pretty sure they had liquors. We're staying nearer by next time to take advantage of this great spot. She Said: We don't stay at this end of the island very often, but we'll need to remedy that going forward because Tiki Bar is a Topsail treasure. Now that I've found it, it'll be impossible to stay away when we visit family here! Potty Points: 3/5 - functional and clean for what it is. You're not here for luxury potties.

Heard about this place and been trying to get here. Finally, found some friends to join me. We sat…read moreoutside because the weather was perfect and they had a live two piece band. Waitress was very sweet and running her tush off. We got there about 6pm on a Friday night and before we left it was hopping. The food was very good. I had Southwestern Eggrolls and will not have to drive to Jville anymore when I get that craving. The only difference was it came with a chipotle ranch instead of an avocado ranch. My friend had a salad (good size) along with the the Dirty Chicken. She felt like it had a "kick" to it but I tried a bit and didn't think so. She could not eat it all. Nice size serving. She also shared the mozzarella sticks. I didn't try them but she said they were good. They looked like the frozen kind out of the box, so not for me. My other friend had the smash burger that we thought were sliders, but are not. It is a hamburger with two 3oz patties with the fixins. My friend enjoyed it and I believe it came with fries. She also tried the Zucchini fries and ate them all. I personally was not crazy about them but to each his own. A two piece band was playing and they were very good. Oh, I found out just before we left that they carry Bud Zero. Nice surprise. Sitting outdoors was perfect. They put a little fly spinner on your table and no bugs. The bathroom was very clean. Since this appears to be the first post for them I will have to post pictures later. Sept. 20, 2024

Beachside on Emerald Isle: A Slice of Paradise!…read more After a day of sun, sand, and pretending I could surf, I stumbled into Beachside and found my new happy place. The frozen margarita? Absolute perfection - like a beachy, boozy kiss from a margarita-loving mermaid. Chef's kiss indeed! Shout out to the beach yoga crew - nothing like a little downward dog at 8am to justify that 5pm margarita. Check out Isle Sol Collective for the yoga schedule with the best teachers around. It's donation-based and just a minute from the west side beach access. Trust me, you'll earn that drink! The locals at the bar? Hilarious. They should start charging for comedy hour - I haven't laughed that hard since sunscreen in the eyes at high noon. And the staff? Pure sunshine wrapped in tank tops and flip-flops. 10/10 - would recommend this spot to anyone looking to end a perfect beach day with a perfect margarita. Cheers, Beachside!
