4 Best Pubs near Southport

“This was such a fun spot to visit when I was out on the east coast to see my friend this summer. I am a big Nicholas Sparks junkie and the town of Southport is where many of his movies were filmed, or maybe specifically just Safe Haven. Either way, lots to see and so many fun picture moments. On this trip, I had my infant daughter with me and assumed that I wouldn't be allowed in with her as it's a bar. On the last night, we were picking up some seafood takeout for dinner at home and I thought I would at least ask what the protocol is. The guy at the front was so kind. He charged us the usual members fee of $1 to get in which is hysterical. And he said we could totally bring the baby. It's less of a bar and more of a place to grab a drink and sit out watching the water. The view is phenomenal. I ordered a well drink and it was tasty. The other drinks looked really sweet. But the beers and wines seemed decent. This place is a great stop for any Nick Sparks fan and they can serve you a decent drink with a stunning view of the water. Just go once - you will not regret it!“

“This is hands down the best meal we’ve had on the boardwalk lately. Delicious food and wonderful service. Fried chicken sandwich was amazing, they actually use fresh chicken, not precooked frozen patties like most places. My oldest got the smash burger and said it was the best burger he’d ever eaten and despite only being 9 he knows his stuff. We will definitely be returning!“

“Went there for boys night out. Love being in the clubhouse overlooking the ocean and the golf course. Really good drinks. Wait staff was informative and personable. We were able to order off the lunch and dinner menus. Everyone enjoyed their meals. I had the Ruben and it was moist and very flavorful. Go there on Thursday through Sunday and order the Prime Rib. You won't be disappointed“

“Cool spot on the water. Food is decent (average pub food). Service and atmosphere were excellent when we went on a Sunday night, we were seated quickly (despite a bit of a crowd) and our server was great.Wings were tasty. Fish sandwich lacked a little flavor, but was overall good.“
