This wine and beer bar and bottle shop is awesome. I can kick myself for waiting so long to check in, but better late than never. Cozy inside atmosphere with a nice selection of beers cans, bottles and on tap to choose. The wine by the glass is trainable with a good sized pour. The wine rack selections in the back is diverse and well priced. Can definitely see buying a bottle(s) to share. The outside space has tons of seating in a relatively small space. A section with a fire pit, beer and wine tasting and music on weekends. The staff are great to talk with and good reference for beer and wine selections. My new OKI hangout.

They're located right there on the main drag as you enter Southport which is great for a pit stop on the way in or on the way out of town. The service is walk up which keeps it super casual and fun. I have been here 3 or 4 times and there has never been a food truck when I've been but they have awesome snacks available behind the bar. For just $1 a cup, you can get goldfish, animal crackers, pretzels, and those delicious little peanut butter filled pretzels. I wish the outdoor area was more interesting but that's my only complaint.

I stopped in twice yesterday. The first visit was fine -- nothing memorable, but fine. Geneva was…read morebartending both times. The second visit, however, came with a greeting I've never heard in my fifty‑plus years: "You've been out all day. I can't serve you because I'll be liable if you're over served." I've bartended before. I understand the responsibility. But I was never asked a single question about what I'd actually been doing. For clarity: we had lunch at Michael's Seafood before our first visit. I had one non‑alcoholic seltzer at Island Beverage, and my partner had a four‑flight sampler. After that, we went thrifting and shopping at Goodwill, Lowe's Foods, and Dollar Tree. No drinking. No bar‑hopping. Nothing even close. On our second visit, Geneva gave us water and let us charge a phone -- and I do appreciate that. But being told "you've been out all day" instead of "welcome back" was unnecessary, inaccurate, and frankly insulting. It was an assumption presented as fact, and it was embarrassing. What made it even more absurd was watching Geneva continue to serve patrons who were clearly intoxicated while I sat there with a glass of water. So here's the takeaway: Don't go in twice in one day. Apparently that alone is enough to get treated like you've been drinking all over town. After this experience, I won't be going in on any day. I hope the staff can handle situations like this with actual communication instead of jumping straight to conclusions.

Thanks Yelp for helping me find my new favorite spot for sandwiches, ready made food for dinners,…read moreraw meats for grilling, and cold salads in the Oak Island and Southport area! This place is a total gem, and at least for now, a hidden one. You'll find this spot tucked into the old shopping center with the blue metal roof behind Cook Out and McDonalds. Hard to miss the intersection, it's the one they have seemingly been doing construction on forever, leading to the "old bridge" to Oak Island. It was my birthday, and having been asked where I wanted to go for lunch, I went on the hunt for a great place I had not been to before. We visit Oak Island a couple times a year, and some of the old favorites just weren't calling to me. I found this place, a little slice of NY style deli heaven marooned on the Carolina coast. Inside you'll find a full service butcher shop and deli. There is a small grocery section, mostly stocked with Italian favorites, ingredients, and baked goods. There you'll also find coolers and freezers, stocked with homemade "take and bake" entrees, perfect for feeding yourself or a crowd for those beach vacation nights where you don't really want to cook, but also can't bear to go out. There's also a meat counter here where you can select your favorite steaks, sausages, poulty, and more. But the star of the show here is right in front of you when you walk in. The made to order sandwiches counter. This is a treasure trove of hoagie and hero sandwiches, stuffed to the brim on fresh baked bread, and at a very reasonable price given the size and quality. It's hard to pick one with so many tempting options, but on my first visit, I went with the meatball parm, and man was I glad I made that decision. the meatballs are the size of an average human fist, and packed full of flavor. They cut them in half to fit on each side of your sandwich, but in total you get two of those big suckers on there with mozzerella cheese, parmesean cheese, and plenty of marinara. Messy sandwich of course, but you definitely have to try it, the flavors are awesome. Every sandwich ordered across multiple visits and tastes was always given the highest reviews. The reuben was absolutely phenomenal, the cheesesteak very meaty and creamy, the chicken parm was filling and robust, the cuban, the Italian... on and on. They're all delicious. I can't imagine you can go wrong. We also bought a cadre of cold salads, like their excellent loaded baked potato salad, couscous, pasta salads, antipasto salads... anyway you get the point. Go here. Enjoy. Support this local business. Make sure this gem sticks around for a long long time!

A good place to pick up those alcohol/liquor purchases to enjoy at your beach house vacation. The Deets: I accompanied some friends to the Brunswick Co. ABC store where they can get some needed beverages to help them enjoy their vacation. This ABC store looks rather new in appearance, just off Hwy 130/Holden Beach Rd, on the mainland just outside Holden Beach going towards Shallotte. It had a good amount of parking and a nice facade, with well marked signage on the road as well. Upon entering, this store appears clean and well stocked with alcohol/liquor/beverages as well as good organization as my friends found what they needed quickly. When they got to the register for checkout, the staff were personable, positive, and helpful.

With the move, they also have a brand new, much larger building with ample parking and a turnaround for large vehicles, which I'm betting comes in handy for deliveries. Service is polite, helpful when asked a question, and efficient. The store layout is nice, with American Whiskeys getting two large aisles along the back of the space. There's also a nice Tito's display near the front, on the right as your enter, pretty much on the opposite side of the store from the vodka aisles on the far left. Basically, it's still just an ABC liquor store, but it's a definite upgrade from the previous location. And open just in time for the summer season.
