    Let's face it: there are a lot of places to drink in CB. You can't throw a rock without hitting some sort of cut-and-paste franchise tourist trap with unused surfboards hanging on the walls. If that's the kind of place you're looking for, hey, have a blast. It takes a village, right? But what if you're looking for something else? What if you're looking for a place that doesn't care about a fancy address on the strip? What if you're looking for a no-frills local bar where you can enjoy cheap and awesome drinks from the friendliest bar in CB? If you care about cold drinks and a cool local vibe, then the SD is where you want to be. The SD is all about laid-back atmosphere and absolutely the friendliest service you'll find. There's always beach music in the air and a friendly crowd where the locals treat out-of-towners like one of their own. That's the SD experience.

    Family owned vibe, chill spot by the water. Easy to stop in and grab a drink. Friendly staff. No beers on tap though, just bottles and cans :(

    This is a pretty old school bar that is a local favorite. Drinks are decent, beer is cold and the food is actually pretty good. I was not expecting the food to be as good as it was. In fact, I wasn't planning on eating here, just drinking, but we got hungry. Crab dip is very good. Homemade pork skins are good as well. Decent number of food items for appetizers or even a meal (sandwiches, some steamed seafood). Only downside is they don't have any beer on draft but they do have a large selection of beer in cans and bottles.

    If you ever come into Carolina Beach , feeling lonely or feeling like your whole gang of people just need somewhere to feel welcome. It's gonna be the silver dollar. Hopefully you get to have Tasha serving you but if you don't all of their staff are attentive and warm and welcoming. Also, your drinks are good. Their drinks are cheap and their staff amazing.

    What a great oceanside experience! The teen got his crab legs aka seafood medley The toddler had chips n cheese. Me fresh made to order shrimp quesadillas. We had more than enough. The people there were Fantastic! (Both the server and cook) I could've hugged them I didn't get a pic of my shrimp quesadilla somehow. It was great having fresh cut lettuce & tomato!

    As a native, we found this bar years ago and still go each time we're in town! Great service, great prices and always a good time.

    Great little bar and Lori the bartender is awesome. Ask to try the Tacky Tourist, it will knock your socks off.

    The egg rolls are a little odd (but not bad), and the crab dip was the only misstep (probably from not properly reduced alcohol...

    If you're looking for one of those places where everything just lines up--the weather, the food,…read morethe mood--this is it. Out on the pier at Tiki Bar & Ocean Grill, you've got a front-row seat to the Atlantic, and on a day like today, it doesn't get much better. Blue sky, sun hitting the water just right, and a breeze that reminds you why people have been coming to the coast long before fancy resorts showed up. Food Simple answer: they've got it dialed in. Fresh, well-prepared, and exactly what you want at the beach. No overthinking it--just good coastal food done right. That's how it's supposed to be. Service Friendly, easygoing, and attentive without hovering. The kind of service that makes you feel welcome but doesn't interrupt your view--or your drink. Atmosphere This is where they really win. Sitting out over the water with string lights overhead and waves rolling in? That's hard to beat anywhere. Now, yes--the beach itself has those big metal pipes running through for replenishment. Not exactly postcard material. But here's the truth: once you're up on that pier, looking out over the ocean, it barely matters. The view still does what it's supposed to do--makes you slow down and stay a while. Final Take Great food, solid service, and a view that carries the whole experience. Even with the beach work going on, this place delivers what a coastal spot should: good eats, cold drinks, and a reason to sit a little longer than you planned. If the weather's right, don't overthink it--grab a seat, order something simple, and enjoy it the way folks have been doing for generations.
