Aarrr is a pirate-themed bar and grill on the ground floor of the St. Regis in North Topsail Beach. A lantern-lit room, pub food and seafood, and a theme that’s fun without tipping into silly make it an easy north-end stop.
What stands out
The cheesesteak, the fried chicken sandwich and the themed cocktails earn the most praise, and the energetic, sometimes costumed servers are a hit with kids. The food can be inconsistent and service slows when the kitchen is short-staffed, so go before the dinner rush.
What to order
- Philly cheesesteakBeef, chicken or turkey, and a filling favorite.
- Fried chicken sandwichMentioned as often as the cheesesteak.
- Grouper bites or grouper tacosLightly breaded (the bites can be cod), with hushpuppies.
- Tater TotchosThe house appetizer.
- A themed cocktailA fun list, like the coconut key lime martini, plus craft beer.
The setting
A dim, lantern-lit tavern that feels cozy rather than cheesy, with sports on TV and some plainer outdoor seating. Kid-friendly items, booster seats and pirate eye patches make it work for a family lunch or an easy evening.
