Visitors can start a vacation off with an ice cold drink in hand as soon as they hit the beach with a Happy Hour stop at Tipsy Turtle Tavern. Located on the southern terminus of the Atlantic Beach Causeway, and close to the Circle beach access and a wealth of central shops and accommodations, this cool little bar is a great spot to relax and toast the end of another great beach day.
The Tipsy Turtle Tavern is a little beach bungalow tavern that might be small, but which features a full line-up of top shelf beverages and afternoon or evening entertainment. The interior features a wraparound bar with additional seating, ensuring that everyone has a great view of the large flat screen TV hanging overhead – an attribute that makes the Tipsy Turtle an especially popular spot on game days. In addition to the regular line-up of games, which can include everything from North Carolina college rivalries to the Superbowl, the tavern also has daily drink specials, which can range from Jell-O Shots to unique coastal creations like the Dirty Shirley or the Sea Breeze. A great destination for a late night out or just an afternoon cocktail out of the sun, the Tipsy Turtle Tavern is a cool local destination to have a little off-the-sand fun.
