    Trailer Bar is always a great time. It is a such a great dive bar with a large area out front for live music. They have a dance floor, a big deck for sitting a bar area in the middle and clean bathrooms. The hardest let about getting to the bathrooms is that it is right beside the pool tables and it is very crowded. The bar is very crowded. The crowd there ranges from young to old and is definitely a locals hang out. They had a hot dog buffet set up lastnight.

    Went for Karaoke. Fun, clean, small dive bar. Was off season so looked like locals were sitting around the bar. You could pick up a conversation with any of them. Friendly. Barmaid Ginger, and the Cowboy who checked us in, had the place in order. Big deck outside allows for bands. Will definitely go back.

    We love the bartenders and atmosphere. Such polite service and fun strangers to meet. It was easy to ride a bike to from many points of the island. Hope to be back soon.

    If you're hitting the Topsail area, you MUST go to The Trailer Bar! It's a blast -- alive with locals and local flavor.

    If you love Salty Turtle, you'll love The Cove even more!…read more The Cove is a cocktail bar/event space that is owned by Salty Turtle. They carry a few of their beers to serve as well as wine and liquor. Ever wish you were having a cocktail at Salty Turtle while your partner was enjoying a beer? Well now you can! Hit up the cove and you can have the best of both worlds with no one compromising. The Cove is a "club" so you'll need to sign up for a membership at the bar before you can enjoy some drinks, but don't worry it's free to join! We enjoy coming here on Wednesday nights to play trivia with friends that is hosted by Meeser Eddie. My favorite drink to sip on when coming here is probably the spicy margarita. It's not on the printed menu, but you ask and your wish shall be granted!On Wednesdays they also offer $15 bottles of Prosecco. Yes you read that right $15 for a BOTTLE of Prosecco. Nothing beats coming to play trivia with friends and sharing a great bottle together. The staff here is always so friendly, it's clean, the service is fast & the cove itself provides excellent vibes. We love the cove & salty turtle so the hardest decision is usually choosing which one to go to... and sometimes we just hit up both!!

    My friend and I went in here on a whim when we had a ladies night at Salty Turtle. Prior to this,…read moreI thought this was only an event space. Which it is but it is also open a few days a week, one of which being on Wednesday nights at 6:00pm for trivia. The place is smaller but very cozy. The decor inside is super cute and the drinks are great. We got a tequila drink that looked beautiful and tasted very good. They also have beer and wine. Super cool place to check out and really excited for an upcoming event I am going to at their location too!
