No food just beer wine and souvenirs. Great little hole in the wall place with a great location to see the sun set. I rode my bike there each day I was in town.

Everything about the Crab is awesome. It’s a true beer bar, all beer is in the can, and the owner recycles the cans and tabs for charity. It’s been here forever and Miss Argie has run it herself from day one. Right on the sound, you can come by boat or vehicle. A local landmark in Colington that you have to visit to appreciate.

Wonderful, laid back place for a quick beer. The outdoor area in the back next to the dock is great to see a heron, meet some friendly local, and see a shooting star!! Definitely memorable!

Nice dive bar with friendly locals. Bottles, cans and cash only. ATM inside. No liquor. The bartender welcomes everyone coming in and is very nice. 50 cent pool table. Most beers are &3 or $4. I was looking for a place to have a couple drinks and hang out, and this was perfect!

We went for a quick after dinner drink here – classic dive vibes. Walked in, was greeted right away by the bartender and the locals at the bar. We got an NC IPA and sat out back to watch the sun set. Everyone was friendly and we hope to go back next time we are in NC! Other reviews said this but cash only – check your wallets! Also LORDY some of these other reviews made me laugh. Thanks for a chuckle!!!!!

Dive bar at it’s finest. Just beer, all cash and a cool play area on the sound. It’s full of friendly locals and the bartender was cool. I’ll go back for sure. No food here except a few bags of chips.
