Outer Banks Olive, Wine Shop, Beer, Cigars

Outer Banks Olive, Wine Shop, Beer, Cigars sits along S Croatan Highway in Nags Head, part of the same walkable strip that runs through the northern beach towns. It's a specialty retail stop rather than a sit-down restaurant — Google lists it as both a store and a bar/cafe, which fits: come in to browse bottles and walk out with something for the rental house, or linger a bit if you're picking out a cigar.

• Wine by the bottle, with a range broad enough to cover a casual weeknight or a nicer dinner
• A beer selection alongside the wine shelves
• Specialty olive oils and other gourmet grocery items
• A cigar selection for browsing and purchase

It's open seven days a week, with slightly shorter Sunday hours than the rest of the week. Given the Croatan Highway location, it's an easy add-on to a beach day — swing by after the sand and surf for something to pour back at the house, or grab a bottle on the way to a dinner with friends elsewhere on the strip. It's a useful, low-key stop for visitors who want a step up from convenience-store beer and wine without needing a full liquor store run.
