If you’re looking for a place to grab a drink and unwind or, maybe, get a little playful, there’s no denying the fun surrounding the bar scene on Hatteras Island. You have cozy watering holes in Hatteras restaurants where locals gather to end the day with a cold one and enjoy the musicians performing live. There are bigger spots too, which are known just as much for serving as venues for major Hatteras Island events as they are for their bars. Watch the sunset at waterfront restaurants while enjoying a crafty cocktail or glass of fine wine. Or head to sports bars during game day, where numerous screens, craft beers on tap and plenty of snacks will sustain your viewing activities until the final call is made.
