Tucked just a hop, skip, and a sandy shuffle off the weathered boardwalk, there sits a beach bar…read morethat's as charming as your grandma's front porch and twice as lively. It's got waterfront seating in all the right places. The Adirondack chairs practically beg you to sit a spell with something citrusy in hand. The breeze smells like salt and sunscreen, and there's always just enough of it to tousle your hair like a flirty wink from Mother Nature. Their Old Fashioned's are like southern wisdom in a glass--smooth, strong, a little sweet, and not in any hurry to impress you. But it's not just about what's in the glass. These bartenders make friends faster than fire ants find a picnic. They'll learn your name by the first sip, your drink by the second, and your whole life story by the time the sun dips into the water. Pull up a stool, and you're not just a customer--you're kin. This bar is pure coastal comfort--equal parts breeze, buzz, and the kind of easy-livin' that sticks with you long after the sunset. Cheers!

Great way to spend the morning or evening on a "sound side" walk. There are many shops and places…read moreto eat along the way. I normally do this as a morning walk but I imagine it would be nice during sunset.

The Duck boardwalk has truly transformed since my last visit years and years ago. The boardwalk…read moreitself is nice, made of real wood and very beachy. It's lined with many types of businesses, clothing stores, beach souvenir shops, sit-down restaurants, and of course Duck Donuts. There's no limit on what you can do while on the boardwalk. The wildlife around is really cool to see - I saw three turtles perched on logs in just one short walk. The Ampitheater is clean and a fun place to enjoy shows hosted there. The boardwalk is a really great feature of the town that you have to take in when you're in OBX.

I'd eat here everyday. The crab cakes were out of this world and you can taste the freshness. One…read morething I really liked is that before you go to the counter, you need to have your order ready. That helps speed up service and not have lines being held up by "I'll have uhh.... Uhhhh... zzzz" and we all hate that. Lots of outdoor seating as well and you get to have that great OBX breeze while eating. I'll be back for sure!

Only a few shows left for Come From Away left. Another must see musical here at the Wells Theatre…read more The musical is over one and a half with no intermissions. The show is hilarious, entertaining and emotional. Drinks and snacks can be purchased before the show. They had custom cocktails and mocktails as well as a wine, beer and more. Customer service is always top notch from will call, the bar and the ushers. Definitely a favorite and love the convenience of it being so close to where I live.

I'm not a huge fan of plays, however my sister treated me to A Sherlock Carol and A Very Merry…read moreChristmas Carol this Christmas season and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I recommend the Mezzanine as you can see everyone and the entire set clearly. Wells Theatre has quite the talent! All the actors/cast performances were expressive, engaging, dynamic, powerful, and nuanced! While not overly dramatic, they were compelling and vibrant and lively without being nauseating. I loved the quick wit, and humor in A Sherlock Carol and the cast excellent! Some of the main characters in A SHerlock Carol are also in A Merry Christmas Carol as well. It's a small theatre that opened in 1913, and is a national historic landmark. It has ornate features inside and they sell light snacks and alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks at their concession stand.

I did not particularly love my first visit to The Norva. The upstairs was blocked off for…read moremembers-only but that wasn't communicated in advance. There's no re-entry, and my boyfriend was hoping if we arrived early, he could find a seat up there. Instead, we had to wait for the concert to start an hour later while absolutely freezing our tushes off. It was absurdly cold. Even through the main act, the entire night was frigid. He's a bigger guy and he even said he was chilly. I purchased a long-sleeved shirt from the headliner, and that helped a bit but not enough. And yes, we were in the heart of the crowd. I've really never experienced that at a venue before, and hopefully it was just a fluke? I'd return but only if it's a band I really-really-really want to see.

This is a very nice spot for a concert. It's main entrance is located at a marina and they have…read moretables along the piers. There are a couple of Navy ships docked in the port so those are pretty cool to see. It isn't super bog so any of the foxed seats have a good view of the stage. They have lawn seating and you can bring your own chair. The sound is really good and we were happy of the quality since we were there for a concert. The parking is free in the area. Just pay attention to posted signs. The Portsmouth city is walkable and nice to hang out while waiting for the concert to start. The food is ok and what you expect at a concert venue. If you can grab something to eat outside side the venue you'll be better delighted. The service is also deserves a big shout out. Everyone we interacted with were very friendly and polite.

There is a free parking nearby either on the street or the parking garage. For our evening, we actually ate dinner about 1 mile away and just walked since the weather was so nice. Bathrooms were clean when I used them. The line seemed really long at times so best to try and time your bathroom break accordingly. The employees were friendly upon entering and exiting the venue as well as when purchasing beverages. Would definitely return.

First thing I have to say... This is not Gordon Ramseys Restaurant, so please don't get excited to…read morego and be mad when it's not him. I will say? Cheaper prices for SURE lol. I go to HK too many times. The place is everything you can ask for in a bar. Cheap drinks, great food, happy hour damn near all day and the staff are always nice. They are always playing good music, going thru their slideshow on the tv with everyone up there (except me for some reason), or they got the game on and everyone is feening for a spot at the bar. When I work in downtown they are always a viable option for food and when I'm out on the weekends they are the place to go for a nice drink and maybe a pre snack before the main event of the night or the food that's gonna get me through until I get home from a great night. Also! They have daily deals! Monday they have Pizza and Wine half off, Tuesday they have margs for cheap and some tacos and quesadillas on sale, Wednesday is Steak Dinner Date night (2 for $22 bucks you can't beat that anywhere), and Thursday is the day you'll see me for burger night with $2 PBRs. Haven't been to HK yet? Then you're missing out. If you have been and didn't like it? You gotta try again something must've been wrong with you that day. If you're like me and go all the time? Then come say hi next time and shoot if you're cool I'll even say hi back! haha!

Finally took in my first show at the Sandler Center and was very happy. Now first I have to call…read moreout some of the previous yelpers. At a quick look most of not all of the negative reviews have to with shows and not the venue. The Sandler like all venues have near nothing to do with a performance or performers. I wish people would keep that in mind. Now the venue: It was clean and modern and seemed well cared for. This includes the restrooms. Which if you go to shows this is saying something. As for the seats and auditorium: They were comfortable and wider than many other venues. The sound for my performance was real good. Staff: Very very friendly. Most seemed older and seem to handle moving the 1000+ folks in and out very well. Concessions: got pretty busy but it did move along. Maybe 1 or 2 more persons behind the counter could have helped. As for food and drink: Typical snack bar fair and wasn't too bad priced. Not nearly as high as other places. Parking: Although not necessarily the Sandler's alone. Wasn't too bad. But we got to the center early and I'm glad we did. I think a visitor could be pressed with parking if a Friday or Saturday night when the local restaurants and bars were more full. My show was on a Tuesday. So overall a solid place to take in a show. I would have no problem visiting again.
