14 Best Bars near Bald Head Island

“The Wisp totally blew me away! The cocktail was chef’s kiss, perfectly mixed by a super knowledgeable bartender Will! And the pizza? Unreal. Easily the best I’ve had. Bonus points for the sunset views over the marina. This spot is a whole vibe, don’t miss it!“

“The selection of wine and beer is incredible. The best part of the experience is that Jordyn can answer any questions you might have. Her knowledge (as being a Sommelier) helps fine the perfect libation you will love!“

“An agreeable place for lunch. A small menu with a versatile variety. I enjoyed the flounder basket. This came with a fair sized fillet. I opted for the batter dipped over the breaded and fried. This was accompanied by some delicious crispy fries and a tasty portion of Cole slaw. A nicely prepared meal for lunch. Our waitress Angela was exuberant with a great sense of humor. Overall a good recommendation from the boys at the turtle conservatory. So a shout out and thank you to them also.

Dietary restrictions: Not the healthiest choice. Good for a cheat day.

Wheelchair accessibility: Street level. No automatic doors.“

“American Fish Co. is such a fun and scenic spot in Southport! The views over the water are absolutely stunning—especially at sunset—and the live music while we were there made the whole evening even better.

My daughter and her husband really enjoyed the drinks (they said the cocktails were fantastic!), and even though I’m not much of a drinker myself, I loved the atmosphere and the relaxing coastal vibe.

It’s a great place to bring visitors or just unwind after a long day. Definitely one of Southport’s gems!“

“My new favorite joint for a beer or bourbon, I don't know how they keep the prices so low but keep it up! Daily drink specials are lit 🔥

No food which I think is smart, you can bring whatever you want and hang out outside or Doordash something to yourself. I also love picking the songs on my phone 📱

If you're staying at the Wingate by Wyndham hotel in Southport, I recommend walking over and getting a cold one. They're open from 2-2, how cool is that? 😎“
