Mimi’s Tiki Hut

Mimi's Tiki Hut is a casual bar on Sailfish Drive in Manteo, on Roanoke Island — the historic, low-key side of the Outer Banks that sits apart from the barrier-island beach towns to the east. You reach the island by crossing the Washington Baum Bridge from Whalebone Junction, and once you're there, the pace changes: more marsh grass and maritime history than surf shops and crowded boardwalks. Mimi's fits right into that easier rhythm.

Listed as a brewery and bar, Mimi's leans into its tiki-hut name with an open-air, tropical-casual feel — built for a cold drink and easy conversation rather than a formal sit-down meal. It's a straightforward, unhurried stop rather than a big production, which suits Roanoke Island's overall character.

Specific hours aren't listed for Mimi's, so it's worth checking the website before heading over, especially outside peak season. There's no public rating or review history to lean on yet, so it's worth forming your own impression on a visit.
