Chip's Wine , Beer & Cigars

Chip's Wine, Beer & Cigars sits along N Croatan Highway in Kill Devil Hills, the main corridor running the length of the northern Outer Banks beach towns. The name says it plainly — it's a wine, beer, and cigar shop that also functions as a bar, the kind of stop where you can pick up bottles to stock a rental house or post up for a pour before heading back out.

The selection spans bottled wine, a beer lineup with craft options alongside the familiar domestic brands, and a cigar case for anyone looking to end the day on a porch overlooking the sound or the ocean. Being on Croatan Highway (US-158) rather than the Beach Road puts it close to the bulk of Kill Devil Hills' rental cottages and hotels, an easy stop on the way in from the bridge or on a grocery run mid-week.

Chip's is open seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday, hours that make it easy to swing by after a beach day or grab something for the evening before other shops close. For anyone spending a week in Kill Devil Hills, it's a straightforward way to keep wine, beer, and cigars stocked without leaving the main highway strip.
