Taste of the Beach is Almost Here



Behind the scenes preparation is underway for our biggest weekend of the year.  March 14th through the 17th, not only will we host our annual Running of the Leprechaun 8K and St. Patrick’s Day Parade, but we will also participate in a huge event featuring many restaurants on the Outer Banks.  Taste of the Beach is one of North Carolina’s most well-known seafood and wine festivals and features a ton of events including cooking classes, beer and wine making classes, Outer Banks restaurant tours and so much more.

We host events over the weekend tied to Taste of the Beach.  Our dinner event on Friday and Saturday night is a “Celebration of Northeast North Carolina.”  For this event, Chef prepares a fare for seafood and land lovers that feature wine and beer pairings from area wineries and breweries.   Because of its popularity, advance ticket purchases of $47 per person are required as space is limited.

Another very popular dinner that can only be held at our restaurant and tavern is the St. Patty’s Day Extravaganza.  This dinner features a true Irish feast that includes Irish stew, Corn Beef and Cabbage, and other Irish specialties as well as pints of Guinness and other Irish beer.  Following this feast, the Tavern kicks into high gear with a live concert as only we can host.  North Carolina’s own Jonny Waters and Company is scheduled to take us into the wee hours of the night.  While we love hosting dinners that feature local seafood specialties, nothing is better than an evening of Irish food and fun.

Over the past few years, we have taken home the award for People’s Choice for Best Dessert as well as a People’s Choice finalist award and hope to do so again this year.  The Taste of the Beach competition takes place at our sister restaurant, Pamlico Jack’s on Sunday evening.

For more information about any of the weekend’s events, call us at (252) 441-4116.  We cannot wait for this weekend and all that comes with it.  In the meantime, our doors are always open so stop in for drinks, dinner and a little nighttime dancing!
