We are throwing our first Patio Party of the summer with Outer Banks Distilling on Wednesday, June 28, 2023, from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.! Escape to the islands with us as you taste your way through a flight of the distillery's Kill Devil flagship series—which includes award-winning Silver Rum, Gold Rum, and Pecan Honey Rum—with guidance from brand ambassador Tony Ursone.

This fun-filled summer event will also include a special Caribbean-themed small plates menu from Chef David, paired with tiki-inspired Kill Devil Rum cocktail creations from bar manager Lewis Williams. (Note: Our regular menu will be available as well!)

Outer Banks Distilling, located in Downtown Manteo, is the first legal distillery in the Outer Banks. In addition to the Kill Devil series, they also offer a Kill Devil Shipwreck series of rum aged in unique barrels crafted from a variety of ingredients, a Kill Devil Solspice series of uniquely spiced seasonal rums, and a Kill Devil Angel's Share series which is only crafted annually.

Our Tiki Patio Party will take place rain or shine. RSVP is appreciated, but not required. RSVP

Join us on the evening of Sunday, April 30, 2023, for the sixth installment of Hops vs. Grapes, our annual beer vs. wine pairing dinner! This will be a fun five Course “Beer vs Wine” dinner, each course paired with one beer and one wine, expertly chosen by our own Certified Cicerone Carter Perry (beer) and Owner Justin Gallus (wine). The theme this time around will be North Carolina Libations. Pairings will be revealed on the night of the event.

Votes will be collected via secret ballot after each course to determine which pairing best complemented its dish. A supreme champion will be crowned at the end of the evening and there will be much rejoicing. View the full menu here and make your reservation to join us soon as this event will sell out quickly!

Please join us for an exclusive event on the evening of Tuesday, April 11, 2023, as we celebrate humanity's first alcoholic beverage with a five-course Mead Pairing Dinner.

Chef David Mitchell presents an inventive menu of globally-influenced, locally-sourced cuisine with hand-chosen Mead pairings for each dish, showcasing a variety of different styles. Brand Ambassador Michael Tinley will be on hand to provide insight into this fascinating drink and the artisans who brew it (perhaps along with a history lesson or two!)
