    We spent a week in the Outer Banks in the winter. This is a beautiful brewery with indoor and outdoor space. Rated a 3.82 on Untappd, it is one of the best breweries in the Outer Banks. You should definitely put this spot on your must visit list when you are in OBX. Spacious. Parking by the building. Indoor, Outdoor space. Very friendly beertenders. We enjoyed our visit and would go back.

    Live music all week!!!

    Fun friendly little hideaway bar behind the Scarborough Lane shops. They serve great locally made Swells'a Brewing craft beer and superb hand crafted cocktails all made on site with fresh ingredients. In the evening there's a stage set beside scenic lights hung beneath a gorgeous old oak on the lawn. During the day the large lawn is great for frisbee, dogs or any yard games you can think of. It's a really nice hang. There is an upper deck above the bar and you can order to-go food from Duck Pizza next door to keep you fed. Perfect place to spend a couple hours or just pass time while family is shopping, you're waiting on a house check-in, or need someplace to take your dog or kids while enjoying a frosty beverage. It's great!! GM Johnny is super friendly and proud of what they've built. Ask questions, they love to share their history and methods. Check it out!!

    Great spot!! The fam visits Duck every year and this year this spot was a pleasant surprise! Great vibes (live music), beers (JBRML), and service (all the smiles of the bartenders)! Our beach besties that live in Duck year round put us on to it. If you have a chance grab a "Jimmy Buffet Ruined My Life," you won't be disappointed!! Thanks Swells'a!

    Great ambience with different events each night. I only had one drink (pina colada), which was pretty flavorless. I'm sure other drinks are probably better (namely the beer and draft cocktails).

    Great beer!! Service was very slow and with a little attitude. I would definitely go back but I would order two beers at a time.

    Excellent! Everything was good, drinks, food, service. The OBX Mixed Grill, delicious, the Blue Moo…read morewas prepared beautifully. But the winner were the beignets for dessert. I'd come back just for the beignets. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    I don't know where the bad experiences are coming from -- after a week here this is easily my top…read more2, if not top place we've been. It was a pretty slow Wednesday evening, called and made reservation. Walked in, greated very pleasantly and seated. It did take a minute to get our order in, but that seemed to be because 3 tables closed at once. But excellent service otherwise. The food was AMAZING. Tuna Nachos: bright, flavorful, great mix of heat and sweet. We were brought two by accident which we were glad they did because one might have been enough but two was perfect. A little pricy given that fact, FYI. But a great app. Kids Mac-n-cheese: Amazing. I missed a pic of the cheese-pull, but it was basically every bite. Smooth and creamy white cheeses. You could tell they small-batch it. Kids pasta: my picky eater is begging to go back for more. Shrimp/Grits: My wife raved over her dish and we've had them all over the south. She said the warm spinach was excellent too. Chef's grill: Mostly chef's choice and I was quietly whispering, "please don't let it be zuccini and squash, please....". Let me tell you those were some of the best prepared zucs and squash every. Incredibly flavorful, taste of the grill, and perfectly soft and crunchy. I could have gorged myself on the wild rice, also crazy rich/deep flavors and perfectly cooked wiht just a little crunch that is supposed to be there instead of the gloop of rice most places give you. Cracy that I'm talking so much about the accompaniments. lol. Well the beef bites were really good, especially with the peruvian sauce. I would have liked them just a little more rare but they were mostly medium/medium well. Shrimp, also exceptional with great seasoning, perfect doneness and paired well with the peru sauce. Two tiny things in the grand scheme: -More Peruvian sauce on the side. LOL was about 2 tsp too little when I got to the end. -More knowledge about the beer choices. Since we're tourist, we don't know much about the differences of some and the staff didn't either. Small nitpick as I know it's the start of the season. Wes - you had a great team working 5/28 at 7:30pm. Theymade customer's for life out of this family anytime we visit.
