Centerfire was a great relief from the typical bars and taverns that reside within this corner of…read moreNC. Locals will remember this location as the former Crooked Lotus, but is now a comfy, cozy adjustment into a well stocked cocktail bar. The staff is great (ask for Sara) and the menu is a simple, yet creative blend of simple favorites and original recipes. The ambience is a soft, warm setting with a random but fun mix of playlist music and live performances. Check the placard on stage for the schedule. The liquor selection isn't the world's biggest, but it is stocked with some good, above average choices that non-beginners will appreciate. There is also a good selection of wine, as well as some limited tap options (call ahead to confirm taps are flowing. Seasonal traffic impacts the flow). Whether it's a private affair, celebration of sorts, one-on-one meetings, or catching a breath after a long stretch, Centerfire is a must stop for anyone. The prices are reasonable and the quality stands above the local average of the area. Enjoy!

Stopped in on a Thursday night to meet friends for Christmas. Here is what we liked:…read more* Immediate seating, only one other person when we arrived. A variety of seating, bar, tables or couches. * Decent selection of holiday cocktails. * Variety of spirits to make what you would like. * bartender was helpful and cool. What could of been better: *Not sure what the vibe was supposed to be, brightly lit and very low background music. Almost seemed sterile. * Drinks were just ok, nothing stood out as impressive for a cocktail lounge.

Good selection of beers and I'm pretty sure they had liquors. We're staying nearer by next time to take advantage of this great spot. She Said: We don't stay at this end of the island very often, but we'll need to remedy that going forward because Tiki Bar is a Topsail treasure. Now that I've found it, it'll be impossible to stay away when we visit family here! Potty Points: 3/5 - functional and clean for what it is. You're not here for luxury potties.

From the pristine and award winning golf courses to the RL Clubhouse you will not find better.

I was able to take selfies with one of my favorite bands! The only drawback was the vendor MeMaw's ChicknBBQ. The food truck did so well for the kickoff party on Friday, but Saturday, the first full evening of the event, they fell very short. of course, the MC was apologetic and explained to the crowd that they were stuck in traffic, but they were unacceptably late and were slow to set up on top of that. Some of us didn't receive our food until after the show was over. Other than that, I enjoyed the festival, the crowd was super friendly, and the vibe was all about the party!!!

We still cannot get over how beautiful every single detail of our wedding day was here. We had zero stress the entire day and every single guest would not stop raving about how magical this venue was! They have every detail figured out! We dropped off everything for the venue days beforehand so we wouldn't have to worry about anything the weekend of our wedding. The owner, Stephanie Watson, took it upon herself to make home-made brunch for all of the ladies when we arrived on wedding day, and we relaxed on the scenic property until it was time for hair/make-up. Pre-ceremony was so dreamy and fun, and the wedding itself was so the most amazing experience of our lives. Anything we wanted to incorporate into our wedding, this team made happen! WORTH EVERY PENNY! And your money is supporting an absolutely amazing family and group of people! Thank you to every single one of you!!! We love you guys!

They do have a small concession stand doing hot dogs hamburgers soda. All tickets and concessions are done in cash only. They had plenty of bleacher seating located all around the arena. I loved the ranch rodeo that I saw here. I would absolutely come here again. Only issue, only a few port a johns. Which got full and stinky fast. I also saw multiple people hanging on the fence with no one keeping them off, which is clearly labeled. The announcer didn't inform either. It's a safety issue. No one should be that close to the fence.
