Classic roadhouse and local bar. I've seen some great bands perform here as well. I especially love the ability to wander around the property, or chill outside on a summer night. Solid staff & easy going people.
Best bar I have ever been to in my life, you feel like part of an instant family here!
I have played the Kraken with 3 different bands now over the past 10 years and had so much fun every time. I love the Kraken!

With an eclectic range of local music, from bluegrass to metal, and a friendly crowd, it's a place where everyone knows your name. Despite not having a kitchen, the bar occasionally hosts local food buffets and has a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The owners and regulars are always ready to lend a helping hand, making it a great spot to meet new people. Visitors enjoy wandering around the property or relaxing outside on summer nights, especially when there's live music. The bar features outdoor seating, a campfire, and hosts performances by local bands like the Onyx Club Boys and Carolina Cutups, which add to its lively vibe. The staff is solid, and people are easy-going, making The Kraken a hidden gem for those seeking a unique, lively, and friendly environment. The music is good, the beer is cold and affordable, and the overall atmosphere is warm and welcoming.
