17 Best Bars near North Topsail Beach

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Aarrr Pirate Bar & Grill was such a fun surprise. The whole place has this cool pirate vibe without feeling cheesy — dim lights, lanterns, skeletons, all the little details. It actually feels cozy in its own way. The food was seriously good. The cheesesteak was loaded and delicious, and those hushpuppy-looking bites were gone in about 30 seconds. The quesadilla was huge, super cheesy, and came with fresh salsa and toppings that actually tasted good, not like an afterthought. The staff was friendly and easygoing, and the whole place just had a laid-back, good-energy feel. If you’re in North Topsail, it’s definitely worth stopping in. Good food, fun vibe, zero complaints.“

“Spacious outdoor venue — picnic tables with umbrellas. Absolutely the MOST delicious farmed oysters I’ve ever had, served raw or roast your own on one of several grills. Amazing toppings for the oysters. They also serve sausages for grilling and yummy shrimp salad. Lots if other unexpected seafood options. Great beer selection. What a treat to have the very freshest local oysters anytime of year! We LOVE this place and the terrific employees!! A+++.“

“Great food, even better people and atmosphere. As locals, we are weekly visitors. (well maybe more like three times a week on occasion.) We have NEVER not been satisfied. Ask my husband- it’s hard for ME to be satisfied. lol. But truthfully this is a gem of a spot, and consider yourself lucky if they get to know you and your order. Because this is “that kinda place”“

“The Best local place to bring your guitar and have a good time - with other people who love music.“

“No food served (other than chips/pretzels), but the sweet locals usually always have some kind of snacks there that they gladly share. You can also have food delivered. We fell in love with this place on our girls trip! First bar we stopped at when we got in, and the best in my opinion. Very hometown/local bar feel and the best locals. Not a rowdy crowd. The bartender, Kristina, was so sweet to us. Definitely check it out! Excellent prices as well!“

“Most excellent dinner and drinks! Highly recommended! Waiter was very helpful with food and drink selections.“

“The most wonderful spot in SneadsFerry. Good food, friends and fun. Locals love it! Tourist never forget it.“

“Restaraunt across the street was hour and a half wait so we went in here. Definitely a dive bar with not much on the menu. Our server/bartender Lisa was super friendly and brought our little man some fries to keep him happy while we were figuring things out. Jalapeño poppers was what you'd expect from a dive bar, but cooked well. We all got burgers and they were pretty decent. Lisa can definitely mix up some drinks. Glad we stopped in and would love to come back without the kid to enjoy some live music“

“My husband and son and I went Saturday for dinner and as always, it was delicious. The crab dip always spot on and the best around. A special Thank You to Tanner our server, he was awesome and did such a wonderful job and made sure everything was spot on for us to have a relaxing and enjoyable dinner. Tanner you were awesome and your personality and how you deal with your customers was great, please keep that up. My heart went out to you and I felt bad after the table next to us ran you and spent $200 if not more and left you such a crap tip, that was so wrong. But don't let people like that discourage you, keep doing you, because you were great!!!“

“Cold beer and live music! Friendly staff too!“

“I love Tortugas. My friends and I go every weekend. The staff is fantastic. Daniel Blevins is the best! He is always looking out for me and my friends when we are there, never feel unsafe with him around. Chad and Ray are great too. Love seeing their faces walking up the stairs.“

“Awesome food and good prices“

“As usual we love this place. Tonight they had delays with the kitchen. Look, the servers don't cook. Can't hold them for that. Always consider you don't know what the restaurant is going through and it what the server is dealing with.
As a server.... Also remember that you choose your job and families come out for many reasons. Regardless what you are going through, you need to put on that smile, be sweet and such it up. Real talk. You choose to serve food today. You also do not know why we're coming out to eat or what we are going through. Maybe the meal you are serving is a meal that never get to have. It hard as a family because it's too expensive to go out these days you as a server are being held to an expectation to make our meal experience great & memorable!

Tonight was slow and long. But the food was good and as expected. Server was pleasant even with what they were dealing with. Be carring folks and even a hard night for you as a customer and a hard night for a server..... You both can make the day for each other, and be a positive note in their day.

Buddy's is great.
We love it there .“
