Sure they have typical pub food too, but if you turn their menu over you will be delighted with the interesting choices of apps and entrees. Tonight I went with the Asian Pork Belly, which is delicious. The spicy Korean BBQ sauce and kimchi really make the dish. Being able to try different brews without having to buy a pint is a real hit for me. I always do 8 oz glasses so I can try the different IPAs, lagers and other brews. I normally sit at the bar or outside, the waitstaff are pros and take care of me. Not too light and not too heavy. All in a great experience. Try it. You won't be disappointed.

Unless "bigger" is also the absolute best batter ever, and the onions are just-right textures. Ok, yeah, not "health food" so balance it out with the mahi dish, fabulous. You get MASSIVE onion rings, alongside a properly-sized Mahi with the best coconut mango rice and beans you will ever eat. We arrived 15 minutes before closing and felt badly until they also seated an 8-top with us and were super friendly and accommodating. Excellent. Wish we lived closer.

Last night my son and I got a shrimp platter and he got shrimp and calamari platter. Each platter was over $30. When our food arrived we were shocked. There was maybe 12 shrimp (maybe 5 calamari) and the rest of the plate was kettle chips and fries. My son was so angry he left for a long walk after we paid. I would be ashamed to charge someone that much money for mainly 95% fries/ chips and the rest just a tiny amount of seafood. I also order the Bahama mamma drink. It also had changed. I barely tasted the Myers dark rum. It was mostly fruit juice. Clawsons do better. We are not happy. Oh my husband of the fish and chips. He said it was mediocre.

I love that's what happened here, and the building is now infinitely better for it. This was a good stop for us as we passed a little time before needing to leave for the next ferry to Minnesott beach. There's a good selection of house brews, and even though I got to try one of them, I was pleased with it. Right now, I cannot recall the name of it, which in unfortunate. Now, the great part about this being a converted wings is also offset by the fact... it's a converted wings. It was pretty warm in there and im sure that has a lot to do with the large frontal glass and the greenhouse effect. I'd consider a big tint job if I were them. There was an area to the right where you could kick back a little as opposed to just posting up on some stools, and there was also a small area around back if you wanted to be outside. The back area is very basic, but really, i cant imagine you come here to sit outside. If you want to do that, get some beers to go and go sit on the beach! Overall, I need to come back and try a few more things, but I would definitely return. Great place in Atlantic beach to have a drink!

Velvet Anchor Bottle Shop

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.

The staff had just an awesome attitude and extremely customer friendly and you could just totally see how everyone would come here and have an excellent time. I highly suggest you check it out, and frequent, if you live locally.
