It's a fun little spot with indoor and outdoor seating right off the beach if that's the atmosphere you're looking for. The place itself has a great laid-back beach-bar vibe however the attitude behind the bar just didn't quite match it. The 3 star rating is primarily based on that fact. We took a weekday trip to the beach at the end of July and were pleasantly surprised to find Tacklebox Tavern open late on a Sunday night and it was karaoke night too! The bar was fairly busy for a Sunday, with a fun mix of locals and travelers and an age range that seemed to go from early 20s all the way into the 60s. The crowd was friendly, the drinks were cheap, and the atmosphere was exactly what we needed for a fun Sunday night at the beach! My biggest complaint was the service. The bartenders consistently seemed annoyed and irritated, and at times it felt like simply ordering a drink was an inconvenience to them. I completely understand that working behind a busy bar can be hectic, but the attitude was noticeable enough that it took away from an otherwise really enjoyable experience and was mentioned by multiple patrons. A little more friendliness behind the bar would have made this place a home run for us.

We sat down and no one came for 20 min. My husband went and found someone and then it took another 10 for her to make her way to our table. We ordered a soda and a beer and that took another 20 min. 1 hour wait for a diet coke and beer and both are so flat i didn't even want to drink it. I noticed the waitress (the only person i saw working the whole time) was talking to a table for 10 min. By now, over an hour has passed and we only have two flat drinks. I go inside to ask for a new soda because im tired of waiting. I see the waitress, still talking to the table, and then she leaves me waiting inside at the bar for another 10 min (20 min of talking at this point). She never acknowledged me and I was tired of being disrespectfully ignored, so I left. I am a very patient person, but that was ridiculous!! I can totally understand being short staffed. But at this point there were no other patrons in the restaurant and she simply wasn't doing anything but talking. All the tables were dirty, the bathroom was gross, the outside bar was covered in drinks and everything just looked sticky! Be a bar/late night club or a restaurant, but not both if you can't handle it!

You can definitely tell that this is a locals bar. After our first drink the ladies started to talk to us and I started to really enjoy myself. The bartender was friendly and drinks were on par for what we'd paid the rest of the week. Not sure why I expected this bar to be bigger because I knew it was literally a trailer. But it was decorated hilariously and it was clean. I would have loved to return that night for karaoke but I must be getting old because when I heard it didn't start until 9pm, I knew that we'd have to do that another trip. We'll try again next year!

There were a few restaurants but MJ's stood out amongst the rest for the photos and reviews. MJ's is located in downtown New Bern. The restaurant is not very big but the wait (20-25 mins) was worth it. We ordered the Admirals Platter which had oysters, clams, shrimp, and crab legs. The oysters were steamed to perfection, the clams were not dried out, the shrimp was perfectly seasoned with Old Bay and red onions and the crab legs were not dried out. What I am trying to say is, the seafood was fresh and not pre-cooked. It was cook to order. Our waiter was awesome. Even though the restaurant was packed full, he paid attention to our needs. Our glasses never got empty. He kept our table cleared by replacing the shell bucket without asking. We really appreciate the customer service. After dinner, we decided on dessert and had the lemon blueberry pie. I highly recommend it ... deliciousness!!! Thank you MJ's for a special time with delicious food. If we are back in New Bern, you will be a definite choice for seafood.

You will find a diverse crowd of various ages, social classes and the staff is friendly and accommodating. Everyone is welcome and you can dress casual or come in your wedding attire, as some have done to continue the party! They do get crowded in the summer and you will have to be patient to get a drink. The owners Matt and Ashley have always got something fun lined up every night of the week. Follow them on social media for updates. They have also been honored as an official Carolina Hurricanes bar and you can find most sports events available there besides the Canes. Dogs are always welcome and there's a food truck on site that offers fresh made pizza and hot dogs.

The food was delicious, the service was outstanding, and we were seated much faster than we expected. Our server was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. The atmosphere is hard to beat, especially with the beautiful waterfront views and the live music on the pier, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The only downside was the seagulls, which can get pretty aggressive once people finish eating. That's obviously not something the owners can control, and it certainly wouldn't keep us from coming back. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we highly recommend Shipwrecks to anyone looking for great food, excellent service, and a fun coastal atmosphere.
