Fabulous cocktails, fast service, good vibes. Sat at the bar on the right hand side when you walked in and it had two older gentleman making the drinks, who nailed it. read more

Arendell Room Bar - Current menu April 2026 - Lounges Near Me - Morehead City, North Carolina

One and done, never again. Always wanted to stop, sorry we did. Very disappointing, overpriced and lousy cocktails.

All around great spot. Drinks were top notch. Live music was very good and the atmosphere is very relaxed

Wow wow wow! Are you looking for both an amazing cocktail and a very chill atmosphere? The Arendell Room is your place and you HAVE to get the Cucumber Collins made with gin. It is phenomenally refreshing. So much so I had two haha. This place is great and they are here to serve and make sure you are served well (as in good not cheap alcohol ROFLOL)! read more

Stump the ump...I mean bartender....it's impossible! These bartenders know how to make any drink and make them well. We went two nights in a row and our bartender greeted us with a smile both nights. We were in the main bar but there are other areas that have a fun vibe too. There is no food so eat before you come. I'm a drink snob and I give this place a perfect 10. read more

Such a fun place with amazing drinks. If you aren't sure what you want, Denny is always willing to create a drink specific to your tastes. He created an "LSU" drink on Saturday evening that led us to victory read more

Perfect cocktails and great bartenders in a cool hidden-away place! Best kept secret in Morehead!

I've been anxiously waiting to come back to NC just to go to Arendell Room. Beyond expectations!! Denny and the staff are amazing. The place is beautiful and good luck selecting your beverage if you're looking at the menu. He will gladly make an original drink just for you if nothing on the ever changing menu catches your eye. I started with a yummy blueberry sage gin drink that was perfect. Not to sweet, not to strong but a wonderful blend of flavors. My other half had the Cucumber Collins which (I believe) lives in the menu. So refreshing and crisp I had to have one for my second beverage. The place is immaculate and the restrooms are well kept and lovely. I appreciate the perks like hairspray and lotion available. Great friendly crowd and lots of lively conversations. So impressed with Arendell Room- a true gem in the heart of downtown Morehead City. Go check them out and tell Denny "Meg" sent you! read more

You want a great atmosphere that's not a honkey tonk then this is the bar for you. Ask for a Cucumber Collins w Harkers Gin. OMG it's a game changer. Since we read a review about it that's our new go to drink,....away from home and at home but we can't make it luke they do. No hangover, refreshing and you kinda feel "UpTown" read more

Fabulous selection of bourbon. I enjoyed a Jefferson's Ocean and Bibb & Tucker. Both smooth. We sat outside in the back and had a fabulous time reminiscing with friends. Looking forward to our return. read more

We came here to meet with friends and have some cocktails. There is a long bar top to sit at inside, and a patio in the back with a couple small tables and plenty of standing room. We started inside, but all eventually migrated outside since there is minimal space to stand near the bar. The wall that runs behind the bar seats is so close, it leaves almost no room to stand inside, so you end up blocking the walkway for anyone heading toward the restrooms. I liked the atmosphere- and the bartenders seemed nice. My only gripe is their pours. I watched each time the bartenders made my drinks and counted how long the pour was. Bottom line: they pour LIGHT. I could barely taste any alcohol. I ended up ordering doubles for the rest of the evening just so I could have a decent drink. Sure...it's a chill spot to grab a drink with friends, but don't expect a "strong" drink. read more

This is an awesome unique bar. Top-notch drinks. Great service. Downtown MOREHEAD . Nice outside area

Best cucumber collins in the world! This place is special with a large variety of craft cocktails- every drink is a spectacle with fresh ingredients and mixologist artistry. Cool vibe, def recommend for delish drinks. read more

"Woohoo! I don't think we are in Kansas anymore!" The Arendell Room is a refreshingly, delightful fish out of water in Morehead City and well, Eastern North Carolina for that matter. It's classic and contemporary with lots of subtle old timey decorative touches, very urban renewal city chic. I love the exposed brick wall, the dim lighting (especially the floor track lighting), the long wooden bar, and lit mirrored bar back that illuminates the rare liquors making them seem as if they were singing "Hallelujah" in a clever effort to get you to order one or three of the many well-crafted cocktails to choose from. The well-crafted cocktail formula: 1. Rare or quality liquors - No $6 1.75L bottles of Gibleys Gin or similar in the well (or anywhere in the bar for that matter) 2. Proper barware - it's all about the presentation 3. Fresh mixers - simple syrup or sour mix cooked from scratch, squeezed lime/lemon juice, fresh fruit 4. Unique ingredients - such as pepper, lychees, ginger beer, edible flowers, vegetables (cucumber), basil or other herbs 5. Technique - one word: MUDDELER (and garnish) The Arendell Room has it all! They were out of Hendricks Gin but they had to my dismay and delight a gin from my homeland (California) - I had never tried it before but it was surprisingly smooth and great in the sweet Basil Berrington. I was also happy that the bartender had heard of my favorite drink the 1950s classic, the Moscow Mule (Ginger Beer, Vodka, and lime juice) and made it. The ginger beer didn't have the kick I'm accustomed to, but for ginger beer virgins it would be perfect. I want to try the whole cocktail menu and if my liver and tolerance for alcohol would allow, all in one sitting because it's just so hard to choose! read more

Bartender made custom drinks that were INCREDIBLE. I've been fearful of similar bars where you describe tastes, but he nailed it. HIGHlY recommend and will definitely be coming back! read more

Great atmosphere, great drinks. I ordered the Moscow Mule with Jalepeno, it was perfect. Great bar staff who always know just what to recommend. I'm an out of towner, but I'll definitely be back next time I visit Morehead City. read more

This is our favorite place to get a cocktail in Morehead. The bartenders are super friendly, skilled and creative. Really cozy inside and very laidback out on the back deck. Don't pass this place by. read more

We tried this place before dinner in Morehead City. The fun thing about this place is the bartenders help you with the drink orders. We went early so atmosphere was average but the bartenders are really fun. Any drink is a possibility so keep an open mind at this place. BTW, no food ? read more

What an awesome atmosphere! This is my favorite place to grab quality cocktails with friends. The staff is extremely friendly and amazing at what they do. This place never disappoints. Come during the week to catch up with friends for quieter nights and be sure to catch them on the weekends for love music and dancing! When in doubt always get the bartenders choice - they know what they are doing! And remember...the doors the slide! read more

Arendell Room Bar - Pimms Clip - Lounges Near Me - Morehead City, North Carolina

Recommended by a great friend of mine. Very relaxed environment with easy bartenders to talk with. Best feature is the bartenders choice on their menu. Comes with a standard price but you tell them what your flavor profile is and what you'd like or not like in your drink and they'll make you something amazing. Just came through town on a tourist trip but if I had this place where I live I'd probably be a regular. read more

The vibe is amazing! Classy, creative, comfortable. The cocktails are fabulous! The bathrooms are super cool.

Good day, Hoping that everyone is safe. My name is David and I'm from Miami Florida. The Arendell Room was always on my itinerary regardless if I'm visiting for 24 hours (It's that cool of a place). I just found out that Mr. Denny (Owner/Bartender) of the Arendell Room in Morehead City was struck with COVID 19 complications. I want to take this moment and wish Mr. Denny and his family nothing but well wishes and a quick recovery. Mr. Denny was always a true gentlemen every time I visited the Arendell Room. Take care of yourself Mr. Denny - hope to see you sooner than later. David, from Miami Florida read more

5 years of visiting Morehead City, and this is an it destination. After a day at the beach, you just need this place. Good atmosphere, friendly staff, and amazing drinks. read more

Our second night in Morehead and our second night in AR. We craved the cucumber Collins at dinner and knew we had to go back. The owner also bar tends and to say he is proud of his place is an understatement. It has a really cool vibe and they have every drink imaginable. The people working here take pride in their drinks and the cucumber Collins could be the most perfect cocktail ever. When back in Morehead we will make sure to stop here for drinks again. Awesome all around! read more

drinks were amazing and the overall vibe of the bar was all class. super confusing bathroom door, but 5 stars nonetheless

Love this place, wish they had some love music, would really make this place. The cocktails are wonderful, prices are pretty reasonable. I recommend checking it out. read more

Coolest bar in this coastal town. It's very urban and sophisticated. I loved the décor. It's small but well designed. I couldn't figure out that the door to the bathroom slide. The drinks were unique.,well crafted and reasonable price. I will go back when I am in town. read more

All bars should strive to be as awesome as Arendell Room! Their bartenders are knowledgeable and make anything! The selection is amazing. Any drink you order here is going to be awesome, but I suggest you always go for their "Bartender's Choice". You tell the bartender what you you like and trust me, he will make you something delicious. For instance, I told him I wanted drink made with scotch, honey and black pepper. It was the most amazing cocktail I ever had! What also makes this bar great is that if you don't want a creative cocktail, that is totally fine. You can just get a jack and coke or even a Bud Light. It's cool without being pretentious. The prices are decent as well. read more

The drinks here are amazing. Be careful...the fresh fruits and herbs mixed with liquor are deceiving. Don't deny yourself the brilliance of this social chemist. Cheers! read more

Cool little bar with good drinks and great bartender. Denny makes a fantastic Old Fashioned. Will definitely be back next time in the area.

The Arendell Room has quickly become our go to place for cocktails in MHC. The bartenders are knowledgable about their craft and always so friendly. You can expect handcrafted specialty cocktails consistently delivered, spot on each time. Let Denny hook you up. Try the Tequila Bell - it is insanely good! read more

Great place, atmosphere, and drinks. The place can get packed quickly. The drinks are quality drinks so the price will reflect that. The wine selection is not on the same scale as their cocktails, I would suggest that they offer more wines. Remember, the door slides :) read more

Cool location and cool drink menu. Very unexpected to find in Morehead City... Reminds me of something you'd see in Wicker Park area of Chicago. Down side is it's very, very loud. In some ways seems like they aren't sure if they want to be a bar or a club. Super, ridiculously over priced for location as well as the quality of drinks. read more

Hands down the best cocktail bar I have been to, even including NYC, Philly, etc. you know you are in the right placed when they have 6 different kind of bitters and can describe any drink you ask about. Your bartender will not be looking up a drink recipe on his phone! One thing that you should know, however, is that this is not the place to go grab a margarita, sit on the deck, and watch boats go by. Go to Beaufort for that. Overall, an awesome experience. read more

Fun atmosphere and definitely a the best spot to go after dinner for cocktails. Bartenders also do a great job of recommending drinks that you may not have otherwise thought of, if you tell them some stuff that you do or don't like. read more

Went here last fall when I was visiting the area and I'm still dreaming about it. Totally unexpected, amazing craft cocktails and topnotch bartenders. Comfy and classy ambiance. Folks, this is how you properly design and manage a bar!! Wish I could click my heels together and recite some sort of chant to transport myself here at will. read more
