Lost Colony TavernPosts

While the midnight fireworks have been postponed until Sunday due to forecasted inclement weather, our “NEW YEAR IN THE NEW WORLD” PARTY in Downtown Manteo is still ON with our famous NYE street party! Come ring in 2023 with us at the tavern with food & drink specials all day & night, as well as a complimentary champagne toast at midnight and live music until 2AM, followed the next day by our 2nd annual New Year’s Day Supper complete with all the traditional foods you need for health, wealth, fortune & luck in the New Year!

We are thrilled to introduce our new ANCHOR BUFFALO WINGS!! What is “Anchor Buffalo,” you ask? It’s the ORIGINAL BUFFALO WING SAUCE created by Teressa Bellissimo one serendipitous night in 1964 at Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York, when her son Dominic wanted to feed his hungry friends who wandered in after closing time.

Everything had been put away for the night except for some chicken wings — which at the time were only used for soup stock — as well as some celery & blue cheese dressing. Teressa quickly whipped up a spicy sauce for the wings, and VOILA! A legend was born….a legend which inadvertently launched a global phenomenon.

At Lost Colony Tavern, we slowly bake our jumbo wings for juiciness and then finish them in the fryer for a crispy skin, then toss them in Teressa’s original sauce sent to us every week directly from Buffalo, along with chopped celery spears and chunky blue cheese dressing just like Teressa Bellissimo served them on that very first night in 1964.

Drop by and experience the authentic flavor of Buffalo’s ORIGINAL wing sauce the way it’s meant to be!!

On January 1st of this past year, we launched our new business with a special New Year’s Day supper featuring the traditional foods that are said to bring you health, wealth, fortune & luck in the New Year. This coming Sunday, WE’RE DOING IT AGAIN with a special menu designed to set you up for success in 2023! Whether you choose the Country Ham & Collards or Corned Beef & Cabbage, you’ll enjoy both options with black-eyed peas, stewed tomatoes, and skillet cornbread. Walk-ins are welcome and very limited reservations are available by calling us at (252) 423-3033. And of course, we’ll be open the night before on New Year’s Eve with LIVE MUSIC & CHAMPAGNE until 2AM! Come join us this weekend and ring in the New Year in style!!
