    Cucumber Collins! Must have a delicious!
    Steve L.

    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)!

    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.

    Do the bartenders choice!! These mixologists are absolutely top notch. Just let them know what flavors you like and don't like and they will magically come up with the perfect drink for you! Super nice bar with two sides and a rooftop deck. Must stop while in Morehead.

    The best curated cocktail menu in eastern North Carolina. A favorite spot for Carteret County locals. Cozy atmosphere and professional staff. Each drink is made to order with fresh ingredients.

    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!

    Super cute atmosphere!!! And loved the note on the menu cocktails were very good as well! Bartender was very sweet and gave great service to us! Highly recommend

    The Cucumber Collins is the best drink in the world! Try it! You will be amazed! I've tried to make it at home but cannot compete. The bathroom doors slide!

    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.

    "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!

    Emily S.

    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.

    Baxter’s 1892 - mac n cheese with a mystery meat when I ordered short rib

    I had been so looking forward to dining at Baxter's 1892 with the speak easy feel and the live…read moremusic. I tried to make reservation but the restaurant would not take a reservation for one so I went early. My options were the bar or in the dark tunnel. I chose the tunnel as I thought I was going to get a table not a high top there. Then where the menu was placed that would have me facing the back wall as the other seat was near the kitchen entrance. So I moved there but I still didn't have a view of the performers. So things didn't start well but I ordered the boba boat mocktail and the mac n cheese with short ribs. My waitress then informed me that they were out of the short rib and would brisket be ok. I hate brisket so I said no and she went and got me the menu to order something else. While I was looking at the menu with my phone flashlight (other tables had actual flashlights, they came prepared) as the tunnel was too dark to see without it, I was given mac n cheese with short rib according to the food runner. I questioned him as I had been told they were out but he went and checked and told me it was the last of the short rib. It was not short rib and someone lied. When the waitress returned, she thought it was burnt ends and checked with the kitchen and they told her brisket. Whatever the mystery meat was, it was not what I ordered. Did they think I wouldn't notice or know the meats are prepared differently. It is dark there so it is hard to know what you are eating. The mystery meat dish was taken back to the kitchen and I asked if they could prepare it with vegetables instead as mac n cheese seemed like the safest option on the menu with the mystery meats. I wish they just had what I originally ordered. The specialty made veggie dish was good but I expected more flavors with the cheese. It was kind of bland. I did try the dessert too. I got the strawberry lemonade cake. The strawberries were the best part as the cake was on the dry side. While eating this, the check was brought to the table. This is my biggest pet peeve to not wait until the guest is finished eating. The most frustrating part was that while they refused to increase the lighting when I arrived and asked as I couldn't read the menu. They immediately turned the lights up when another guest asked as I was finishing my dessert. The chef came to the table from the front dining area. It was my understanding that things were going to be made right. I didn't expect to be charged the full price for the dish without the premium meat. Then there was the service failure of bringing out a dish I hadn't ordered to begin with. The decor here is outstanding, with the copper ceilings and the speakeasy feel. The clock out front caught my attention too. They went all out with the details and elegance. So it is disappointing that the food and service is not up to the same standards.
