The $1 sign attracted my attention. When I found a sweater I liked, I asked how much it was $1.00…read more On my way out, I spotted a long dress that I liked and went back to the register for another purchase. The store is clean and the owner is friendly. I'll stop here again.

I've been shopping at twice as nice through three owners and love it. Hillary started it and she…read morewas fantastic. Cari and Tyler were second and terrific. And now I look forward to getting to know the new owner. It is always such fun. It's a great hobby consigning, getting credit, and then buying new to me items. I feel like I'm doing a service to recycle and get great things. It's a win-win way to shop!

Wow! What an epic store. Walking into here made me wish I was the opposite of a minimalist. Or at…read morethe least that I had some camping or outdoor gear with a hole in it needing replaced. When you enter in one section of the building you think you've seen it all. But here it's like they slowly expanded by adding segments of neighboring buildings and coming up with something hella dope to shove in the new spot. To start with I was perplexed by the broad selection of colorific ukuleles positioned next to a litany of hats. Can anyone say Instagram-worthy gear? Somebody told these guys that ukuleles and patch hats were in, so they jumped on the bandwagon. Slide to the back and whada we got here? Longboards. You tryna cruise down a mountain pass wearing a 3-percenter hat playing Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams" on a ukulele and somehow drinking Ocean Spray for TikTok likes? YUP! Right here; come getcho contradictions. And after a long day of sidewalk surfing, find yourself right back here at the BAR taking in the scenic views of kayaks strung from the rafters (there's a pun there I just know it) and dreamy tents on high. Wait is that a flannel? Need! Or maybe you're too beat from your hike. Sleep in and drop by for a nitro and double down on the hang-ten. Gnarly, brother! This shop is righteous!

Came in today to find some New Bern merchandise and this place does not disappoint! I loved the…read moreflexible almost rubbery type cups they had plus they were on sale..lots of sweatshirts and tshirts with New Bern on them! The staff was very helpful telling me the prices and what was on sale. Then I turn and on side of store was a small sip and shop.. cheapest beers in new bern from what I got told..lol.. all kinds of beers to choose from. I will definitely have to bring a friend and come back for that. The very nice lady I spoke to that works there said it keeps the customers around for a bit longer lol.. pretty smart plan if you ask me! I walked further into the store and they have all kinds of clothing and things for the person that enjoys the outdoors.. prices were not bad at all and with sale going on made it even better. I look forward to coming back and spending more time. The life is good store is right next door too and attached inside to this store..

Well organized and the employee was very helpful! I always search for books from my childhood first…read moreat used bookstores, so I was thrilled to walk in see the children's books immediately next to the entrance. I walked right in and hit the mother load! The cashier knew the value of certain rare items, which was comforting, though it made it a little pricier for me. Still wonderful to find so many books I was looking for in one place, and in person (as opposed to online). Would definitely return!

The instructor, wish I could remember her name, was so kind, helpful and entertaining. The class was simple to follow and we came out with great paintings. She mentioned that they host a lot of events, one being "lights out"painting classes. I'll definitely be coming back for that. All in all, this would be a great date night idea, birthday event, baby shower idea, whatever you name it they have it.

I really wanted to buy a couple of things here, but everything was put back because one booth was…read moreselling signs that had the not so funny statement meaning "F$&@ the President." Totally cool that you don't like the current President; I loathed the former President. Yet, I didn't go around saying things such as "F$&@ the President." That is in total poor taste. Plus, if you are trying to sell merchandise, it seems like you might want to be Switzerland. And maybe the loss of my business is made up by all those who support those who say things like "F$&@ the President," but why take that chance? I definitely will not suggest anyone visit this establishment.

The Boathouse is adorable shop in New Bern, NC. I spent the last day of my birthday weekend in this…read morecharming little town wondering through all the cute shops. This shop had a lovely window display with a sailboat that brought me into the store. There are so many cool things to check out. From skulls, to pirate lamps, and of course boats! If you have a nautical-theme anywhere in your home you will find a treasure to add to your collection! I found the blue sailboat which I fell in love with before I even walked into the store. It was $49, which I thought was a little pricey. But the painting detail was amazing and I loved the colors of blue and green. Plus it was the day before my birthday so I bought myself a gift lol! And it looks great on my home! If you're ever in the New Bern area you must stop by and check out The Boathouse. Even if you don't find something to purchase you will enjoy browsing all of the items in the store!

They have hats, t-shirts, build-your-own ships in a bottle, signal flags, nautical charts, throw pillows and more. My favorite was the colored glass prisms used to bring light onto the lower decks of boats. I had only seen them in blue, but the Boathouse had several other colors. The old nautical charts are interesting as well, and make you appreciate the old-school way of charting the seas. Once you've finished relaxing or fishing on your boat tour, then stop by here to recapture the moment.
