Brew Thru in Kill Devil Hills is a simple yet iconic Outer Banks stop that makes grabbing a drink quick, easy, and fun. The drive-thru setup is efficient--you just roll in, pick your drinks, and roll out, making it perfect for beachgoers or anyone looking for a hassle-free refreshment run. While we don't make it down here often, Brew Thru holds a special place in our family's memories. It's where my daughter first got a Yoohoo, and ever since, it's been a little tradition to stop by when we're in town. Beyond the drinks, they offer a great selection of fun, beachy merch, from T-shirts to koozies, making it a cool spot to grab a souvenir. What really sets Brew Thru apart, though, is the consistently outstanding service. The staff is always friendly, quick, and helpful, making the experience even better. If you're in the Outer Banks and need a convenient place to grab a cold drink with a side of nostalgia and great customer service, Brew Thru is absolutely worth a visit! Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of food to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: It's like a drive thru... with a bunch of drinks an all sides... it's just a fun experience to do. :) Repeat customer: yes Dog Friendly: patio read more

Whoever invented Brew Thru is an absolute Genius. The process is simple - you drive your car in (similar to a car wash), they hand you a menu that includes what beers they have (and t shirts/accessories as well), you place your order + pay, you're handed your drinks and you pull out! Super convenient. The staff are always so nice and friendly. The t-shirts are always super fun. Can't recommend this place enough! A must try on your visit to OBX! read more

I come to brew thru every year to get a T- shirt and various merchandise. We go to this one specifically because there is an attached store with merchandise and older styles of things you can't find in the drive thru. Unfortunately it wasn't open due to staffing. I did get a nice hat though. I did buy alcohol here & was surprised to know it wasn't any difference in cost as the grocery store. This is a great concept and convenient when you're in a hurry and need some drinks. I wish this existed in regular life at home! read more

Brew thru are a bunch of cry babies. Drove through and had a solo cup with ginger ale inside of it the guy asked for my ID and asked what was in my cup then said he couldn't serve me?? Guess I'll start to drink from a 2 liter bottle. Grow up brew thru it's a dang soda read more

I love "my beach's" drive-through beverage station and t-shirt supplier! Expensive, but so convenient and friendly. An annual tradition!

According to my wife, a Brew thru experience is a right of passage for the area. I have spent our whole relationship hearing about Brew Thru's and their souvenir T-shirts. Welp, I am over 21 and I love beer so why not. We came to this one since they had an attached gift shop. In all fairness, it wasn't needed because they had almost everything in the Brew thru tunnel itself. We drove in (nobody else around - thank you middle of winter) and I ordered an alcoholic beverage. She brought it to my car, took my cash and brought me my change. Then we drove out of the tunnel and I parked to go into the store. I browsed around and settled on a few items - no t-shirt because they were a tad overwhelming in their graphics (think 1990's cartoon t-shirts). We paid, snapped a few pictures outside and headed home to enjoy my freshly purchased alcoholic beverage from a drive thru tunnel. My wife and her family could not stop laughing the entire trip that I finally experienced my first Brew Thru.. and I bought a Mango White Claw. I guess when the time came for me to experience my wife's memories, I went basic. read more

The service and selection of beer was paramount!!! There T-shirts phenomenal quality and the special they told me about get the second shirt half price...I couldn't leave without purchasing the second one.. read more

It's very cool to go in and order from the car...but no pricing for beer posted. Beware of the locals as it is pretty pricey.

Fun concept and convenient for anyone who wants restock the bar without having to load the cart, only to unload it a few minutes later. With Brew Thru, you go from car to bar in minutes! And there's a variety to choose from, including everything from local brews to hard seltzers and even non-alcoholic options such as sodas. One thing I think could help the experience go more smoothly is a menu - once you're inside, it's easy to get distracted (especially for first timers) and before you know it, the line is growing behind you. This could be avoided if there's a menu posted outside (like at fast food chains) or even online. We did receive a paper menu when it was our turn but at that point it was too late - We ended up asking the staff all of our questions. While they were happy to assist, we would have been better prepared with a menu in advance. Plus, we probably would've remembered to get the shirt which we had pre-selected but forgotten about in the midst of selecting beers. Speaking of, highly recommend the Reptar Juice for IPA lovers. read more

I am not sure if Brew Thru is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange but if it were I would buy stock in this company. The business plan/model is brilliant. The beauty of the plan is in its simplicity, you pull in, get a handy printed menu of merchandise, and have attractive people load up your car with chips, beer, red bull etc. Even better you don't have to get out of your car to get a heavy keg, tub and ice, the attractive people will do that. As you pull in, you will notice to your right you have the beer selection, everything from bud light to blue moon to fat tire to magic hat and then KONA FIRE ROCK!!! To your left there is merchandise you'd find at a seven elevens. All pretty comparable in prices to your local store. Your trip to the Outer Banks wouldn't be complete without a trip to the Brew Thru. When I run for president, I plan to make Brew Thru, In n Outs and Wawa's mandatory in every state. We will also be a bunch of fat a**es during my reign of convenience too. read more

Quick and reliable! Always efficient and kind. It's truly the best place if you're in a rush and want to get in and out! A local favorite that we're always happy to promote. read more

This place is genius. I can't believe we don't have these in New Orleans. We have drive thru daiquiris but not beer and wine. The staff is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. My brother showed his driver's license first thing without being asked and was thanked for it. Apparently they get a lot of people who don't want to show it. "Uh, sorry. I left it in the car," doesn't work here! read more

On our way back from the windy sand dunes of Jockey's Ridge State Park, our minivan was stopped at a long traffic light. We noticed this Brew Thru store next to us, with a soft halo around it and the sound of angels singing (OK, I made up the last part). My friend Steve and I both said simultaneously "We need beer!", and I made a quick right turn into the entrance. Talk about easy, instant gratification: We pulled the car in to the arch-shaped store, ordered a case of cold beer (plus a bag of pretzels for the kids); They handed us the goods, we paid, drove forward, threw a couple of bucks into the tip bucket, and then were on our way again, just in time to re-enter traffic and make the next light. Since we were thirsty, some of us were tempted to pop open our newly-acquired brewskis right there, but we were good citizens and waited until we parked at the beach house about 15 minutes later. Later that night we figured the only way they could improve on this genius idea would be to drive up beside you while you're on the highway, match speed, and make the transfer there. I'm working on it. read more

Such a brilliant idea and just an "in-general" cool place to say that you've been to/thru at least once. The lady was super nice when she came up to our window, asked what we wanted and we had many cooler doors beside us to look at. Asked for our I.D's and rang us up promptly. It was reasonable price for N (were from NH so our alcohol is much cheaper), but it was just something to say we did! "Hey guys, we went to a beer drive-thru!" read more

My husband and I had spotted this place while driving through the outer banks. It's a very unique experience & beats stopping at a gas station for a refreshment. The service was great & the idea is genius. Perfect for that last minute drink run before hitting the beach & soaking up the sun. read more

Worker wasn't wearing a mask and took zero COVID precautions including social distancing. Very disappointed. We have loved brew thrus for over a decade, this one we will never return to. read more

On my first trip to the Outer Banks we decided to stop by this unique convenience store on our visit. We pulled in, there were about 3 cars in front of us, and someone came out to greet us and let us know we'd be helped shortly. Once it was our turn, we ordered a sprite, red bull, and monster, and the girl who was helping us came out very quickly. The prices seem about the same as other stores. We also picked up some merchandise, such as a Brew Thru shirt, beach towel, and baby clothes. I really liked the t-shirt design (the style changes each year) and thought this would be a great souvenir from our trip! We loved the idea of the drive thru convenience store and wish they had this in our hometown of California. We will definitely come back again the next time we are in the area. read more

This Brew thru has become a tradition in my family. Every year, while at the beach, we make a pilgrimage here for our yearly t-shirts. I usually grab a few beer koozies in the process. A year ago I bought one of the shirts and after washing it once the hem came completely out. I was disappointed and halfway across the country by this point. I e-mailed Brew Thru and they sent me a new one no questions asked. This good customer service is part of the reason I go back every year. read more

We were in OBX for 7 days...I'm pretty sure we went through the Brew thru 5 times. It's a great little place with a good selection of drinks including an entire section of North Carolina beers so we can make sure to try what is local. There were always a good amount of people working and one thing that I thought was great that they don't have at the drive thru near my house at home is a menu so you can look at everything they offer in one place instead of trying to see everything at once. My husband liked it so much he even bought a t-shirt :) read more

Employees take zero COVID precautions. We went twice, both times no masks and no concern for social distancing. When we asked an employee to mask, he walked away and had another employee serve us. Cool idea, but we won't be back. read more

This store had the nicest staff I think I've ever encountered in my life. We got a flat tire on the way out of town after our vacation on a Sunday. We were very lucky to stop near this Brew Thru, as it turns out, because although they didn't have any fix-a-flat as we hoped, the manager (Christina, I think? So sorry my friend, we were stressed and may not remember your name correctly) really wanted to help us in some way and ultimately sent us with her staffer in his own car (I'm really sorry because we were jerks and never asked your name!!) who drove us up and down the highway checking multiple stores for repair kits and to see if any repair shops were open. (Which they weren't cause it was Sunday. Sigh.) We finally did find the right stuff. He was just an incredibly nice guy. So kind and thoughtful and helpful. And Christina really cared about it working out for us! We can't thank you enough and wish we had been able to come back and buy some goodies from your store, but we felt compelled to push ahead to find an open tire repair shop - which was 2 hours away 'cause it was Sunday. (Sigh.) So in conclusion, please shop at this store cause the staff are simply amazing people (and who doesn't like cold drinks put right in your car and cute tshirts? Monsters, that's who.) And also never get a flat tire on a Sunday. read more

I'm not really sure how this is legal. It reminds me of something you would find in Texas- where they just do whatever they want and are lawless cowboys. It is fantastic. It is a brilliant idea. Especially driving back from the beach when you are all sandy. The negative? It is a little stressful to have to make up your mind so quickly. read more

Awesome, convenient, cool gift shop as well. Didn't know what to expect so I walked in the first time, and have been there everyday since, definitely going to get myself a silicone mug before I go home. read more

Convenient, fun and awesome! A definite must see and do when in the area. I can't wait to go again! Why can't these be in all states? read more

What can you say that has not already been said? It is great that you can get your adult beverages and never have to leave your vehicle. In a previous shopping experience here I purchased that great beer huggie ever! It is for quart sized bottles. read more

Beer was overpriced at least $5 more than grocery store price and given at room temperature. Hard to believe this place is advertised as the "coolest" place to get your beer. The drive through is a cool idea but stick with the grocery store or gas station and you'll be way more satisfied. Pretty disappointed and won't be back. read more

Great selection, service and fun. Got t-shirts, drinks, information and decorations all in one place and we only scratched the surface. Great concept and convenient. Keep it up guys. Oh yeah and work on that pay system. Finding all the different drinks took him a little time but he kept us entertained and busy while we waited. read more

Avoid these "tourist traps" at all costs! Unless you are disabled, stay away from Brew Thru locations. Their prices are almost double that of any the grocery stores. Plus, the selection is pretty limited. They went as far as to disable the reviews on their Facebook page because people were commenting on how high the prices are. read more

The T-shirts are a classic, but the appeal of drive-through beer buying has lost some of its appeal. I cannot really dislike this place, though. It's fun and an integral part of the Outer Banks experience. read more

Coming from a state that doesn't even sell alcohol on Sunday this was super exciting. Good selection of cold beverages (including non-alcoholic ones). The only downside is when you are stuck in line because someone can't decide which t-shirt to get. read more

This concept is genius!!! Not only do not have to leave your car but the selection is amazing and the folks that work there are super friendly!! We stopped by on a recent trip to OBX and picked up some local brews- what a great place. Will definitely be back! read more

I love the brew thru!! Very helpful customer service and just all around fun.

Fun to visit. Drive thru beer purchase, gotta love it! Only drawback is that the parking lot can be a bit challenging to navigate. We love their annual t-shirt deals. Worth a visit! read more
