Dead End Saloon

The view from our table

Dead End Saloon is a pub in Southport/Oak Island, NC. Cozy up to the bar or sit out on the porch overlooking the river marsh and pier. You'll definitely see your fill of wildlife from beautiful butterflies to a variety of water birds. While I was there, there were even a couple of dolphins that playfully swam by!

Their menu consists of everything from burgers and sandwiches to quesadillas and buffalo wings, to seafood of all kinds. They have daily food and drink specials with typical pub fare as well as fun twists on old favorites. Their coconut shrimp is served with a fabulous homemade Hawaiian-style dipping sauce that includes coconut and pineapple (it's very ambrosia-esq and could probably be served in a bowl as a dessert, it's so good). Their fish and chips are delightful with perfectly crispy fries and homemade tartar sauce.

Just like the menu says, it's "Fun Dining"

If you're looking for a fun, laid-back atmosphere with food for anyone's taste, head down to the end of Fish Factory road, pull up a seat on the porch overlooking the water, and enjoy some fabulous pub fare.
