We had a lovely dinner here on the Tuesday before Labor Day weekend 2026. They are famous for live music every night, and we had a great guitarist who played lots of classic rock and country, and took requests. We learned this location will be torn down on October 3, and a new one built across the street. The food was great! Because of the reviews, I decided to try the ahi tuna nachos. And because I like produce I also got a side of steamed broccoli. Both were delicious! The nachos were huge- I only ate like half before getting full! The broccoli was also delicious and I'm so glad I incorporated it. My husband enjoyed his fish and fries too! The service was good, and I would definitely visit the new location once they're open! read more

We didn't think we would get seated right away but were wrong ! The host was great and got us sat in a larger room . The waiter came over and he was very nice and super helpful. Ordered some drinks and looked over the menu. Its your basic food but has some good options if your hungry. I ended up just getting some chicken bites and a drink I would come back for the atmosphere alone . read more

Stopped in for a drink around 8:40pm not realizing that they closed at 9pm. Hostess said wasn't a problem and we sat a pretty full bar area. Seems as if their closing time is a suggestion as they had live music and food was till being brought out. There are high top tables, a dining area, and a bar. It's an outdoor venue. Very beachy vibe. Super fun with the live music too. Service was great. Bartender was friendly and quick. The margarita was good, as was the beer. We didn't stay long after our one drink. The music stopped around 9:10pm. Apparently they have music frequently. Our Uber driver told us that this is their last season as a restaurant since they are tearing down the building and making a hotel of some sort. read more

Went here on a quiet Tuesday evening this Tuesday before Labor Day weekend. ItItss an open air restaurant not far from the boardwalk and beach. They will be shutting down in October and rebuilding at another location across the street. The staff was very friendly and there was some really good live music, which they are famous for having life music most nights. The food was excellent. My got the ahi tuna nachos and a side of broccoli and I got the fisherman's shrimp basket. The portions were very generous and the shrimp were excellent. my wife loved her nachos. Here's hoping that they return next year. read more

Seawitch - Live music from TJ Aaron. - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Carolina Beach, North Carolina

Super fun restaurant and live music venue! The wait can be long especially during the busy season and holidays. We had over an hour wait, but honestly it's not that big of a deal. You can wait at one of the restaurant's two bars (one in the front and one in the back), or grab a seat at a table or high top in the bar areas (if you're lucky enough to snag one) where there is open seating and a full service menu. Or take that drink and head to the stage area and enjoy some live music while you wait. The food was a bit of a hit and miss. Our appetizer, the seared ahi wonton nachos were the bomb. Perfectly seared and tender ahi, fresh and crispy wontons, with a very tasty wasabi aioli to tie it all together. My BLT was a bit dry, and my wife's fried flounder sandwich was a bit over cooked and lacking a bit in the toppings department. A lonely tomato with a single piece of lettuce, and the smallest onion ring you could possible pick from the stack. But the fun atmosphere, outdoor style seating throughout and the amazing live music with a stage and room to get your move on make up for it. Kids and adults enjoying it, dancing and having a great time. With just a little more effort in the food department and this is 5 star all the way. read more

Went to Seawitch to celebrate my friends birthday beachside! We had a wonderful experience. Even though we were there on a Tuesday, the vibes were high and there was live music and dancing. We ordered drinks at the bar before going to our table. Everyone was super friendly and the food was delicious. The mango habanero boneless wings were packed with flavor and so delicious! read more

"Delightful seafood, entertainment, and more in Carolina Beach" Stopped by here on a holiday Saturday night at just after 6pm, party of 2. Amazingly, we were able to get a table right away. The place is mostly "open air" with two covered areas and a few spots in the sun. A few folks had dogs there, too. They also have little spinny things on the table to keep flies away (apparently called "fly fans"). Note, enter on the beach-side, not the other side, to meet the host. There's also a stage inside for entertainment (which started later than we were there, but the band was setting up). We ordered the ahi tuna nachos, and I got a crabcake sandwich. My partner got black pearl salad. Food came out in under 20 minutes, which was impressive given the place was HOPPING. The ahi tuna nachos were ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS. They had bits of mango, a delicious sauce, really good nachos (made from wonton wrappers), and the tuna was amazing (served rare). It was about $20, but a very large helping. This would make a great meal for one person eating that alone. The crabcake was fine-- nothing unusual but tasty. I may not order that again, but it was good. My dining partner said the black pearl salad was really good and liked the blackberries, feta, and walnuts in it as well as the vinaigrette. Our drinks got refilled, and plates were taken away quickly when we finished any part of the meal. Our server was really nice, too. Overall, I would happily go back, and DEFINITELY want that ahi tuna nachos dish again. I recommend-- very good. read more

Great outdoor patio with live music and plenty of patio space for the pups. This is a huge restaurant where you can come for a meal or stay all afternoon and be entertained with live music. I ordered the blackened fish sandwich with fries and a side of hush puppies. Great meal and a relaxing spot to enjoy the afternoon. This is a very dog friendly establishment. read more

We have driven by here for years and it looked kind of beat down and we were unsure what was inside. With Yelp help, I realized this is an awesome restaurant and hang out place! They have live music, outside games, inside/ outside eating, a full sized bar area. I got the Mahi sandwich and fries and my wife got a Baked potato and side salad. The Baked Potato was nice because a lot places don't offer that. This is near the beach front and within walking distance of the Boardwalk and other shops. We will definitely be back. read more

Spent the weekend in Carolina Beach for a bachelorette trip. Zach & David the door guys were so funny & gave us a laugh at the door both nights. Amber the cute redhead bartender is killing it. She was on top of everything & remembered us from the night before! If we come back we definitely hope to see them! read more

We came here on a Friday night around 9 PM and outdoor seating was the only available option. The palm trees surrounding us were beautiful, but it was breezy and very loud with the nearby live band. We decided to head back around 5:30 PM the next day and we were seated right away indoors. The server was very attentive and friendly. They have half price appetizers before 7 PM, and I ordered a pound of peel and eat shrimp for a very good price. My husband said the beef sliders were really good. I was disappointed to find out that the shrimp wasn't fresh since it's off season but they were still good with the drawn butter and cocktail sauce. They validate valet parking in their small private lot, but be prepared to pay at least six dollars an hour if you don't get in that parking space. read more

Terrible table service. And terrible management (Maria) when we complained about service the Only act of concern was to offer us "beers to go" we are not in college. ‍ we won't be back. Sad ending to our vacay. read more

What a great way to end an awesome beach weekend! Live music, great food and outdoor seating so we could bring our dogs! We had made reservations as we had a pretty big party. We arrived and were seated immediately. We ordered just about everything on the menu and it was all fantastic! The standout for me was the fried mozzarella! I actually stopped eating my burger (also very good) so I could order another round of the gooey fried cheese. The wait staff was on fire! Always available, got pup cups for the dogs and kept our glasses full. A highlight of our weekend to be sure! read more

Love the live music. Great bar. Nice local beer selection. Food was good but go for the fun bar/music vibe.

The only restaurant I have ever gotten food poisoning from. It's a great place with a great atmosphere. But I got chicken wings that tasted decent but then noticed they were undercooked. That night I was questioning whether or not to call 911 due to how severely sick I was. I hate leaving bad reviews but I just hope no one else gets sick read more

Tried SeaWitch for the first time. Food was great! Had their fish soup. Sandwich was tasty. Fans were loud as it was hot outside but would definitely return. read more

They have the best bands with an awesome atmosphere! Also, I'm a big fan of the ahi tuna nachos!

The Seawitch is the restaurant my wife picked for our meal to celebrate her retirement as a public educator. 38 years of teaching in Wisconsin....our experience, arrival thru departure, was A+++! I informed our Amazing server, Maddie, of this and also that the rest of our family, 10 more, would be coming for the live entertainment. She did everything possible to make this occasion wonderful! I highly recommend The Seawitch and Maddie if you are ever in Carolina Beach!!! read more

Love this place! The food is amazing and reasonably priced. Live music makes it a win , win choice in Carolina Beach!

Great vibes and ambiance at Seawitch, they've got the decor down pat. Drinks are heavy handed and in large plastic cups. That makes for easy cleanup or a great travel vessel if you're on your way to the sand. I had the Witch Burger. They don't ask for a temp and that bad boy is going to be server Sahara style...dry af! All good, my lady had a fried fish sandwich and that was good. Thankfully she's tiny so I was able to snag half the sandwich. It's been a minute since I've had a bad burger, I was beginning to think it wasn't possible. Anything is possible... read more

We had such a great time here. We walked from our hotel. We had to wait about an hour but got a drink from the bar and sat in the courtyard and listened to music. Lots of dogs around. Dinner was fast and fairly cheap. The band was starting up as we left. Next time we will go later to have the band playing while we are eating dinner. read more

Not good. If it weren't for the service, which was excellent, this would have been a horrible experience. We had blackened shrimp tacos, fried oysters, and a shrimp bruschetta appetizer that tasted okay, but wasn't really a bruschetta at all. All of it was fairly tasteless. The price was VERY high too. Will not return. read more

Shrimp bruchetta, freshly toasted baguette, excellently seasoned roasted tomatoes, freshly grated parm, and the shrimp grilled to perfection. The cream sauce, oh my! Shrimp tacos, just as tasty! Flour tortillas filled with grilled shrimp and other toppings such as fresh Pico, shredded cheddar, cabbage, fresh jajapenos, and red onion. Pick a side. Today, we chose fries that are seasoned with old bay. Old bay aioli to dip 'em. Yum. Tea still lacking, though, darn. Friendly service, attentive. Great music over speakers from 70s to 90s, rock to country. Yay! read more

Place needs a good hosing all through-not very clean. The food is just mediocre and no air circulating. The service was so-so and they have the audacity to automatically put a 22% tip!! Ridiculous!! Not deserving of that tip read more

Food is 10 out of 10 service is 10 out of 10 love to go here! So delicious go here every year!!!

This is our favorite place for dinner and drinks in Carolina Beach. The Shrimp Alfredo and Crab Dip are excellent and we haven't had a drink we didn't like. The staff is so awesome and friendly. The only issue we had this last visit was how hot and humid (heat index that day hit 103) it was, and there is no A/C in this mostly open air restaurant. Obviously, this is beyond their control, but something to be aware of. Did this keep us from going? Heck no!! read more

A girlfriend and I had dinner here one evening to celebrate her birthday before going to see the night flight for the kite festival. We were seated quickly at the one last table available. Our waitress got to us fairly quickly but honestly seemed like she had zero interest in being there at all. On the good side, we learned that on Friday evenings, appetizers are half price! So instead of entrees, we ended up with a bunch of appetizers. The ahi tuna nachos are always a good call, the shrimp bruschetta was very tasty, and the crab dip is a solid choice. read more
