Manteo Bars

Including Roanoke Island Bars

No one would have said this three years ago, but Roanoke Island is becoming one of the Outer Banks epicenters for drinking. Downtown Manteo now offers several drinking establishments, including a brewery outpost, a distillery, two wine bars and much-loved local pub. Combine those Manteo bars with the downtown area’s superb walkability, and you have the perfect opportunity for bar-hopping. Keep in mind that Manteo bars close fairly early. The last one closes down by midnight, and if you need a ride home to the beach communities, make arrangements ahead of time.

Roanoke Island Bars/Manteo Bars and Tiki Huts

If you love a good tiki bar on a summer afternoon, you can’t beat the two you’ll find among the Roanoke Island/Manteo bars. One is down in the fishing village of Wanchese and the other is on the Nags Head-Manteo Causeway. Both are perfectly situated at a marina, making it easy to step off the boat from a day of fishing or dolphin-watching and be sipping a drink within minutes. These Roanoke Island/Manteo bars are open seasonally.

Downtown Manteo finally has a wine bar!
