Food And Libations
What better way to wrap up the days activities than some Bread and Grog!! Ok, We can do a little better than that. Here are a few favorites:
​
Really Close, Stumble off the boat close:
​
Dead End Saloon- 4907 Fish Factory Rd SE, Southport, NC 28461, (910) 454-4002

Inexpensive Coastal American with a nice bar and a dock to pull up your boat to. Our Instructor, Rob, has been to both this one, and the one in Baltimore Maryland , but the details are still fuzzy. Guaranteed to hit your Culinary BullsEye!
