15 Best Bars in New Bern

“What a blast! 🎯 Took my son and daughter to celebrate his 22nd birthday, and let’s just say—we’re basically axe-throwing pros now (okay… maybe semi-pros 😂). The instructor was awesome—kept us laughing, made sure we didn’t lose any fingers, and kept the drinks flowing. After nailing a few bullseyes (pure luck, I swear), we moved on to pool and darts to keep the fun going. Such a great time all around! Highly recommend! 🙌“

“Poppy's is in a great old building, the history of which I know nothing. Decor is quasi Americana-Vintage- Veteran owned perhaps? Food and service were spot on. I had fish and chips and wife had the shrimp basket. House made chips are a must-have. Shrimp are breaded with some house-made secret mojo that was delicious and unique to this place. I've been a coastal seafood diner for 25yrs and this is really good. This will have to be a repeater because their main claim to fame are their burgers and they looked amazing.“

“Great addition to downtown New Bern!! Fantastic drinks!“

“The best music venue in New Bern. Something fun every day!“

“Great craft beers on tap, relaxing atmosphere and great bartenders“

“Absolutely delicious food and friendly servers! There were 6 for lunch. We had chicken & brussell sprouts, strawberry salad, 2 shrimp and fries, and two other entrees. All were delicious and huge servings!“

“BTM is our regular, go-to spot in New Bern. It is the most accepting bar for everyone to go. The patrons are all one family. The staff is welcoming, fun, and caring. They make a sure you have a good time. This place is a gem and an establishment for the town. It is also a place to grab an affordable drink. We are regulars and will always be loyal patrons of the bar. Can’t say enough about how much we love this place.“

“Great course and the grille was really nice too“

“amazing service“

“Good food, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. My husband and I went on Thursday night for dinner as we have many times in the past. My only complaint was everything was overly salted. We removed the breading from the calamari, his tuna didn't have much flavor only salty. My crabcakes were as good as always! Maybe they should cut back off on the salt, you can always add more at the table.“

“Drinks were on the table within 2 minutes of being here! Food was great. Our waitress was amazing never had a empty cup!“

“I would just like to say that my son and I have been coming here 4 to 5 times a month for the last 3 months after discovering how delicious their shrimp are. We've just about had a different server everytime and it's always been an enjoyable experience and delicious meal. Thanks to everyone at Carolina Grill!“

“Just now leaving an 8 person lunch. If ur thinking about going drive faster. jk. Drive appropriately. The fries are amazing. The burgers were cooked perfection. Shout out to the beautiful person in the back cooking. Jojo was the sweetest! Mix drink on ur mind? They got the means. 3 adults, 3 kids, and 2 toddlers recommend u go now.“

“Came in to play some pool with the family on a Sunday.As we entered all eyes turned to us bc it was very quiet in the room. It was awkward for a moment but the bartender was warm and kind. They were doing a tournament but still had a change operated table. It was nice to be able to play pool (in a bar) without the loud bar type atmosphere.Tables were nice. Service was good.“

“first time out since I moved to NC. went to watch home run derby and the bartender Karrie was super friendly and great atmosphere.. food was great. definitely will go back.“
