Margherita Pizza
David M.

Parking lot is small, but works well during lunch hours. Seating can be a large problem if you are ordering more than 1-2 pizzas at the time. Service was a bit absent, but overall it was still a good experience. For the price and the beverage selections I think this place is well worth it. Gluten free options are available and live music is also provided but limited to small seating.

Bloody Mary!
Wanda H.

SO, the food was okay. Not the greatest, but not bad either. We ordered a Hawaiian pizza, a Supreme pizza, and Hot Tots as an appetizer. The appetizer came out last??? I ordered a Bloody Mary and it was tasty. The service was okay, besides the order of the food arriving. Again, not great, but not bad either. The thing that brought it up from 3 stars for ME was sitting out back on the sound. You just can't beat that for ambiance. Would go back here, just for that!

Garlic cheese curds
Jess M.

This is a fun pizza place, very convenient in Indian Beach. The service is good and they have a great outdoor space on the sound. The pizza was good, though we prefer a thinner crust. The garlic cheese curds were fantastic. This is a good place to stop and relax a bit, especially with the locals.

I ordered the tacos and they were ok, the service was extremely slow though. I got sweet potato fries and they were soggy.

Caprese salad was good. Pizza is is good but not great. It's a thinner crust which is good. Sauce is tasty.

The place was great, no complaints. Friendly and good service. I recommend sitting outside for the great views of the water.

A favorite at the beach. Good beer and great pizza. Best of all is sitting outside on the deck as sun sets over the water.

We have been going to Emerald Isle, NC, every summer for decades. We have looked for a place that…read morehas an extensive collection of high-quality beers from local craft breweries. We had met with at best limited success. This year, I found The Velvet Anchor Bottle Shop online and have been following on FB since February. The Velvet Anchor Bottle Shop rocks. Nick was behind the bar on our first visit. Nick was super. He was massively informed about a ton of beer from the Carolinas and further afield. They had a sweet selection of beer from Germany, Great Britain, and Japan. I even saw a 12-pack of Bud-lite hidden away. There are eight taps with a mead and cider on tap. We got there at 1 pm and there were dead, so we grabbed Nick. We talked about local places to go and Big Ten Football. Nick went to Indiana, and I attended Ohio State. When things picked up, everyone was a local, which we thought rocked. We socialized with all sorts of folks, and after two beers, we were off to the beach to have a delightful afternoon with some great beer. The Velvet Anchor is not a large place, two 4-tops, a 2-top, and maybe 10 stools. They did a fair amount of to-go business. This is not the place for children and large groups. But if you and your significant other want a quiet, friendly place to try some great beer, or want to take some back to your place, this location is a gem. We liked it so well that we took our two friends back later in the week.

Seeing such an ample selection of beer that doesn't break the bank in the same place makes my heart…read morehappy. You definitely need to check out this place when you're in Emerald Isle. The staff was very friendly and welcoming and most of all knowledgeable. Plus it helps there's a few locals that know just as much about what's in stock. They have games all around to keep entertained while you sip on a cold one and have a few beach chairs outside in case you want to sit and people watch. They don't serve food but there's a pizza place around the corner so you'll be fine. There's also plenty of wine in there for you boring people. I'll definitely come back if I'm in E Is. again. PS if they have that Or Xata beer... GET IT.
