1. 1718 Brewing
$$ | |Coastal North Carolina's best beer is brewed at this outpost by the sea that doubles as a sunset hangout (the views from the rooftop deck are stunning) and a purveyor of next-level pub grub, courtesy of its partner business, Plum Pointe Kitchen. Order a hazy IPA or a coffee Kölsch, plus a slider platter or the catch of the day, and soak up the last rays of sunlight.
1129 Irvin Garrish Hwy., Ocracoke Island, North Carolina, 27960, USA252-928--2337Known For
- Mexican chocolate stout
- Crab-stuffed pretzel with beer cheese
- Buzzy evening scene with stellar views

2. Ceviche's
$$ | |Panamanian-inspired food is the focus of this lively rum bar and restaurant just across the bridge from the beach. The eponymous ceviches—traditional Panamanian corvina, lobster, and tuna "cooked" in lime juice—are all wonderful, but ropa vieja (flank steak served over coconut rice) and blackened tuna are tasty, too. Outdoor seating includes a pleasant interior atrium, and tables on the patio by the road.
7210 Wrightsville Ave., Wilmington, North Carolina, 28403, USA910-256–3131Known For
- Flavorful empanadas and tacos
- Four house ceviche blends
- Big selection of high-quality rum drinks

3. Clawson's 1905 Restaurant and Pub
$$ | |A combination of fresh seafood, local beers, and live music make this a Front Street staple, especially for lunch. Housed in a 1900s grocery building, Clawson's is stuffed with memorabilia dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of Beaufort. Hearty food such as ribs, steaks, pasta, and seafood are part of the attraction, and ask about blue-plate lunch specials. The pub highlights a selection of North Carolina microbrews and schedules regular Friday Night Flights tastings.
425 Front St., Beaufort, North Carolina, 28516, USA252-728–2133Known For
