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!

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.

The staff here are super friendly and make great cocktails and amazing fresh food. We tried the Blackened Local Tuna Sandwich and the Blackened Mahi Mahi Wrap. Both came with a choice of a side (get the Black Bean Salad-it's delicious). Their seafood is fresh and delicious and both come with wasabi cream or cilantro, lime sauces. The Mahi Mahi wrap had the perfect cucumber crunch and the tuna was seared to a perfect medium rare. Don't worry, there are non-seafood and vegetarian options as well.

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.

The place is small , provides an intimate space for the productions. There is a concession that has snacks and drinks. They also serve alcohol and liquor.

My friends and I had a wonderful time seeing the Maoli Band perform. Parking easily overflows to the shopping center across the street. The long line of ticket holders was efficiently processed through individual security with a scanner thorough with making sure we all are ready to party and not to disrupt. The space inside was organized, there were numbered tables for those VIP guests who find as well as indulge in alcohol. The general admission ticket holders get to come up close and personal by the stage. The concert went on for almost 3 hours including the first act, Lindsay James, definitely a riding star to watch!

There were two areas to get drinks. One a full bar with three bartenders. They had draft beers and liquor. The front bar had one attendant and a different selection. Bathrooms were fine. I imagine if the venue was full lines for both could get long. The building an interior were great. I love the brick. There was a balcony section as well. The sound system seemed fine. The venue felt very intimate and I love that. I would definitely go back if I was in the area. I don't think they had food but go to Jack Browns for a burger or Benny's for pizza.

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.

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!
