11 Best Cocktail Bars near Calabash

“Love Carbo's & the owners Carol & Bo 💕. Yes it's a cash-only private-club bar so a very small membership fee as required by NC...& well worth it!!

I lived close by & frequented back in the 90s thru 2006 when I moved back to Ohio...I've also visited every time I was area (x8) & I love how it has remained the same friendly bar that welcomes all that enters! Many holidays I spent there & the owners would cook up a feast for those that didn't have family close by.

I'm looking forward to going again soon!! Miss y'all“

“Fantastic atmosphere !! Great outdoor music and yummy food!!“

“We made our second visit to Cape Fear Seafood on Sunday late afternoon with a couple of friends. The food was excellent. Our server appeared to be uninterested in being there and we felt like we were irritating him just by ordering. We will go back but I hope we don’t get the same waiter next time.“

“Benny makes yo I feel like his guest from the minute you walk into his restaurant. Come on, locals, we can't let this one slip away. Visit often and spread the word“

“Had a wonderful (as always) dinner at Crave NMB. The money bag pasta is delicious! Our server, Frank was amazing. We had him last time and he even remembered what I ordered a month ago. Such a great atmosphere to have dinner in. 5 ⭐️“

“Our family had the best meal all week during our vacation at Feast OIB! The owner/chef greeted us at the door and seated us. The wedge salad was delicious with homemade blue cheese dressing. The lobster risotto was wonderful and beautifully presented. The crab legs were super meaty and tender. There are great options for kids too! Amazing, friendly service with a smile. As we were leaving, the owner/chef was cleaning tables and making sure things were running smoothly. We were very impressed! I also love that the menu was clearly labeled with MANY gluten free options.“

“We’ve eaten here year after year. Ate here tonight and it was as great as always. I had the grilled seafood platter and everything was perfect. Each fish tasted fresh and not dry. Has salmon, oyster Rockefeller, sea scallops, shrimp, a crab cake with green beans. Both filing and done right. Others in our group had lamb, duck, grouper, chicken and all enjoyed it. Definitely made with fresh ingredients every day. I also think anything less the a 10 rating is not appropriate.“

“We visit each year with our large family while vacationing at Ocean Isle Beach. This year, we thought we would change it up and go to the Boundary House where we were told they would not accommodate us in any fashion. Called Clark’s, no problem. The reservation was made, a text confirmation sent but unfortunately I didn’t pay close attention to it. When we arrived, I realized that our reservation had been made for the wrong date. The staff were quick to find a solution and honestly, I can’t speak if I told them the wrong date or they wrote it down wrong, doesn’t matter either way, I should have checked the text better. Anyway, after a few moments and a short patient wait, they were able to accommodate our party of 30 that they were not expecting and we never knew the difference. The service was excellent and the food amazing as always. Coming from someone who has worked in the food service industry, I know exactly how they felt and how our party could have acted. However through accommodation and patience, everything went well and we couldn’t be more thankful that it all worked out. 10/10 recommend for service and delicious food and drinks!“

“The resturant to enjoy a sit down excellent meal in Sunset Beach NC. I had the grouper special and a spicy Bloody Mary, it was a delicious experience, I was surprised and thrilled to eat this meal, the sweet potato fries were excellent. when the next couple sat and asked what’s good, I couldn’t stop myself for yelling out the groupper is fresh and to die for. The service was excellent and they will be opening the down stair with live music for the summer. This is going to a daily spot to visit daily. Thank you to the cook and Christy.“

“Amazing food. Very authentic and delicious. Highly recommend!“
