Blue Crab Tavern

Enjoy a cold drink and an easy-going atmosphere on the edge of the water at this destination that has been a favorite local hangout for more than 30 years. Situated along Colington Road in a mainly residential corner of the central Outer Banks, Blue Crab Tavern is where waterfront views and good times meet, and is a great spot to unwind, relax, and simply enjoy the good life by the saltwater.

The Blue Crab Tavern is truly a throwback to the Outer Banks of old, as the converted fish house with a waterfront deck and a casual setting has a fun and relaxed “come as you are” scene. The cash bar has a number of cold libations at the ready, and the tavern features a free foosball table, a pool table, and a jukebox that is always popular with the crowd. Enjoy a sunset at the outdoor gazebo with decking and docks, or just unwind with new and old friends in the cozy and ultra-casual interior. With seasonal special events like live music or pool tournaments, Blue Crab Tavern is a hang-out spot that new and seasoned Outer Banks fans alike can dive into for some post-beach fun.
