When the rest of Oak Island goes quiet, Paul’s is still alive. Garage doors open. TVs glow. The night finally has a pulse again for guests from Oak Island, Southport, St James, and Bald Head Island who need real food after 9pm. This is the area’s only true late-night sports bar and restaurant. Smashburgers with real sear, Calabash seafood that locals insist visitors try, wings with deliberate seasoning, and fries from a dedicated gluten-free fryer. Families drift toward the arcade, sports crews take the bar, and vacationers treat it as their dependable stop. Guests talk about the smashburger like it sets the standard and the service like it feels personal. Perfect for post-beach dinners, game nights, and late-night bites.

Excellent post race dinner. Sat at the bar and ordered the smash burger. Everything was delicious. Service was friendly. Cool little place with a shuffleboard table, skiball, and games. Family friendly too! Would stop by again if ever in the area! Prices are reasonable too!!

The speak. We came on new years eve after a walk on the beach. Perfect burger and fries. Great music. Waitress was the best. Definitely recommended and come back.
Update this review 18 days later we were back with some of the best food and service from Jackalyne out waitresses. The cheese curds & shrimp quesodilla are great to share as well as the beet and goat cheese salad topped with chicken or shrimp. Both amazing. Thank you again!

We were in town for work and looking for something good to eat. It was close by and the menu looked amazing. When we got there it was a bar, that’s ok with me. We were seated and got the menu. The menu online was completely different, but that’s ok. I had shrimp and grits…different than I’ve ever had them. They had a brown gravy…but amazing I ate them all. My husband had wasabi wings…they weren’t his fave but the shrimp he had was amazing. Our guest had the Mediterranean wrap and smashed it he loved it. Definitely will return if in the area. The waitress and girl she was training were very sweet and attentive.

Thank you, sweet Baby Jesus!!! I just moved here and I’ve been searching for a sports bar that I can call home.
I’ve literally been to about a dozen sports bars in the area now and it’s all the same fried frozen overpriced food.
My family and I decided to pop in here over Labor Day weekend. Our goal was to watch some of the Ohio State game and have some good food! This place hit on everything I needed!
I love the menu with the custom drinks from the bartenders, Kids menus are awesome as well and the kids get something to draw with. I love that it’s a sports bar, but it’s still family friendly enough. Great beer selection and I love that has the giant garage door so you get the breeze from the outside!
I got the wings, which are my favorite ones since I moved here. They are fresh not frozen, I got them with the traditional hot sauce, which was meeting expectation. I’m excited to go back and try their other sauces. I also got a BLT, which was huge! Kids got the mac & cheese and the chicken nugget. My daughter didn’t care for the mac & cheese because she’s used to craft this place actually makes real mac & cheese with actual seasoning so we decided to keep the mac & cheese and me and my wife split it lol. My wife got the burger, but she was really happy about it was served on toasted sourdough bread so she liked that it was crispy as well!
Overall, I would rate this place, a five out of five. The service wasn’t spectacular, but this was the first day for college football and a holiday weekend so I’m definitely willing to come back and try again!

Sports bar atmosphere. The food was excellent! The service was a little slow but no big deal. We came on game day so it was very loud in there. Really nice place tho. Will definitely come back!!

Just enjoyed a smash burger (could only eat half – it was big!!). Hunter was a great host, very friendly – no stress! When my son visits from PA, we have to stop! We also enjoyed Olympic men’s hockey on a large screen!! The sweet tea was perfect!

Random Monday afternoon at Paul’s and we had an amazing experience. Red Wings had a day game and Schmidty and our waitress, Susie, went out of their way to find the game. Our food was awesome and they kept the beers flowing. Get the chili burger!!! We love Paul’s. Thank you to Susie and Schmidty!

We are new to the area and drove by this place and thought it was so cute! We had Jacqueline as our server and she was honestly so sweet and so great! She had great recommendations, the smash burger she recommended was a 10/10, it wasn’t crazy loud in there and we got to watch some of our games! We will definitely be back for Jacqueline and another great meal!

Had a lovely time at Paul’s! Our waitress Jaclyn was very friendly and attentive. My Impossible Smashburger (Cowboy style) was delicious as well as the slaw! We don’t live down here but our son does and when we visit him, we will definitely be back. Had fun playing skeeball and pin ball too!

We went back and tried again. I dont even like fish and chips and because my moms were very good the first time, I tried them too. Did not get another burger though lol. Great service this time. It’s a cool place. I upped my stars.
Aye aye. The service is absolutely ridiculous. The older guy bartender picks up the slack. He’s good. He’s personable and works efficiently. I took my mom there on Thanksgiving, second time we’ve been there. And the fish and chips were actually pretty good!!! My smash burger had about 7$ of seasoning on it and I took 2 bites. I watched 4 families walk out just waiting to get drinks or put an order in. The server had zero hurry bone in her body. I had to go to the bar to ask the gentleman for my moms water and pink lemonade. I don’t care about me. It was Thanksgiving and I wanted it ok for my mom. We had to make our Thanksgiving on Friday for family, so we picked Paul’s on Thursday. Yet on Thanksgiving, it wasn’t even that busy, dudes from BOH standing around in the front area , she can’t keep track of tables or even NOTICED 4 families get up and leave, and the whole time complaining she “was there all day” I cleaned 3 tables and had to ask for my own starter sauce, and a just water for myself after 30 minutes. Two bites out of the burger and I had a tummy ache the whole night, left 18$ riggt there on the table. The fish and chips, again, were very good though. If you can’t handle 7 tables sporadically, don’t be a server.
