27 Best Bars near Southport

“Great spot to wet your whistle and have lunch when in Southport. Really great staff and a fun atmosphere. Highly recommended!“

“Live music, very cold beer on draft, pool tables, friendly staff, Foosball, pin ball, outside space - what more could you need in a bar?!“

“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? 😎“

“The best Golden Mary's ever! Fresh heirloom tomatoes. Great customer service.“

“I hadn't been back to the Pelican in over a decade before popping in this Christmas Day. It's a rough day for my family and we couldn't have asked for a kinder, sweeter, or friendlier group of locals. The Pelican family went out if it's way to make us feel loved and welcome, to the point of tears. It's a memory that will stay in my mind as among the truest examples of the Christmas spirit I have ever experienced. Thank you 💚“

“Very unique atmosphere, great vibes. Came here 7.5 years ago and made a sort of life-changing, pivotal, whim-decision in this bar while drunk (don’t normally recommend doing that, but it worked out for the better, for me!), so I had to come back and visit again.“

“Cheap drinks, great music and fast bartenders“

“Here during the post Labor Day “off season” and finally decided to give WotW a try for the first time. Pleasantly surprised! I found the pizza to be tasty, certainly much better than the other island option. The Peach Mango wine slushie is not to be missed! Easy ordering at the window, and the host was so friendly!“

“I Highly Recommend Second Wind It's Not Only New Popular Hangout/Dance Club But They Have The Absolute Greatest Bar And The Greatest Bands Play On Oak Island NC You Must Check It Out 🏆🥇🏝️🍻🍸🍹🍷🎱🎤🎸🎼“

“We have dined here many times and were blown away every single time! Chef Jon Spencer’s creative menu does not disappoint! The excellent service we always receive is the icing on the cake. If you have not had the privilege of eating at this fine establishment I highly encourage you to get a reservation and give it a try. You won’t be sorry! Five stars is not enough!!!!!!“

“We stopped in yesterday and had great food and service by Allie. I highly recommend the smash burger and sweet potatoe fries, my friend had fish and chips and was super happy. Stop in you wont be disappointed“

“Fun atmosphere & food is consistently delicious. Various menu items to choose from & service is efficient.“

“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!“

“Tonight's we went because we heard they had chargrilled octopus as an appetizer. OMG‼️It was out of this world! Chargrilled octopus, drizzled with a lovely lemon vinaigrette & microgreens, served with grilled potatoes, and a great charred lemon. Chef Larry outdid himself...to the point that I ordered another one to take home and freeze! Staff and bartenders were excellent‼️ We highly recommend you make it to Michael's ‼️😍♥️👍👍👍“

“Oysters, shrimp, lobster rolls and cold beer! All delicious and wait staff friendly! Enjoyed ourselves!“

“The food is fantastic & atmosphere is awesome. Staff is attentive & the owner supports nonprofit events within the community.“

“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.“

“Pier under construction and repair, so Tiki Bar is closed. However, the High Tide lounge was open and serving drinks and had minimal food offerings. Burger, Mahi sandwich, hot dogs with gourmet toppings, and a few appetizers. No fryer, so a bag of chips, as a side, is the only option. Mahi was excellent, thick cut made for a meaty sandwich.“

“They no longer serve food and are strictly a bar but they said that you can bring food in. The drink prices seemed to be the best on the boardwalk and the bartender was very friendly and accomodating. They open early and are very close to the beach.

No beers on tap but will provide an ice cold pint glass on request. Oldest bar in the area established in 1957.

Not a whole lot going on decor or asthetic wise but they did have some nice tv's that were actually playing some normal stuff for a bar (a baseball game) which was really refreshing after visiting a few other bars that either didn't have tvs or were playing really odd channels.“

“We had a wonderful experience at Hurricane Alley!!! Great drinks and great food. Our bartender Nikki was so sweet and gave great service. The manager Joe set up heaters for us since we were so cold. Overall great place who cares about their customers.“

“Some of the best staff around! Food comes out super fast and fresh! The tacos are amazing (try the Jamaican style).“

“Uncle Vinny’s is absolutely amazing!!! Not only does the food make you want to come back for more but the minute you walk in you are greeted by amazing staff. I highly recommend this place best Italian food by far!!!“
