Tomorrow's the day to get your patriotism on! 🇺🇸

Our Stars & Shells 250 Edition Awful Arthur's Tee will be back in stock tomorrow!

Like fireworks, beach parking, and cold beverages on a hot day, these shirts won't stick around for long. Grab yours before they disappear faster than a tray of our oysters.

Swing by the Beach Shop and claim your piece of red, white, blue... and a little bit of OBX.

James and Ricky were cutting up, pouring drinks, and keeping the good times flowing while Norm Harrell supplied the soundtrack to a perfect OBX evening.

Thanks to Norm for the great tunes!

Missed it? Don't worry—we've got another excuse to head upstairs next week. Scott Franson is on deck next Friday--ready to keep the music rolling and the cocktails disappearing.

Same great view. Same great vibes. Slightly questionable dance moves.

See y'all upstairs next week!

Join us as Norm Harrell brings the tunes, the vibes, and probably a few reasons to stay for "just one more drink."

Too hot to cook? Too hot to think? Too hot to be outside for more than 12 minutes?

We've got the cure.

Awful Arthur's Oyster Bar is open Thursday through Tuesday from 11 AM–10 PM with icy cold drinks, fresh-shucked oysters, and a much-needed break from the summer heat.

Swing by for lunch specials from 11–3, cool off, and fill your belly. Brandon and Buddy are currently standing by with entirely too much free time, so come give them some oysters to shuck.

We'll keep the drinks cold, the oysters flowing, and the AC cranking
