Outer Banks Brewing Station

The Outer Banks Brewing Station serves both takeout and dine-in as well, so you can eat from them pretty much wherever, whenever you feel like it. Their bar is open pretty late, depending on the night, so you can jam out to some local fun music, dance, drink and take your fill of delight until the morning. 

Some of the brews served here, like the one and only Ölsch! Kölsch, are true local favorites for many reasons. This drink is their original, and they pride themselves in serving it up to dozens of people each day and night. They call this one a light draft beer, and it competes with the Lemon Grass Wheat Ale, which they also serve. These two are the best of the best for drinks! 

Outer Banks Brewing Station is located at 600 South Croatan Highway in Kill Devil Hills. 

Lost Colony Brewery and Café

Speaking of great burgers, this café serves the one and only Angus Beef Cheeseburger, letting you pick the cheese for yourself. Another notable option is their Shrimp Boat, perhaps the top local favorite of all time!
