A brewery and bar on Ocean Trail in Corolla serving food and drinks in a laid-back setting
The Corolla Beer Garden is a brewery and bar on Ocean Trail in Corolla, pairing a full food menu with its drink lineup. It's a straightforward stop for a meal and a cold one after a day on the beach or a walk through Corolla's shops and historic sites, and it fits the easygoing, unfussy character of dining on this end of the Outer Banks.
Corolla gets busiest between Memorial Day and Labor Day, so expect a livelier crowd in peak summer and a quieter one during the spring and fall shoulder seasons.

Best place in OBX for real craft beer. They had Burial, Other Half on tap, and many more! Beautiful shaded spot under a very old live oak tree. Everything is outdoors and parking was fine but I could see where it gets limited quickly. But really, out of all the places, this was the best for craft beer hands down.

4/26/25 - What an amazing, cool spot. The outside scenery is so pretty and I love their unique seating. They have a merch shop above the bar. They have a nice selection of beers, ciders, and wine. The bartender was really cool. There is also only one size cup when ordering a drink. I would recommend to check it out though.

No food but good beer selection and great atmosphere. Cool even on a hot sunny day.

We biked here from Corolla Light for a quick trip after dinner, sans kids. It was a blast. Great outdoor setup, a dozen or so draft selections, a super easy-going bartender, and I believe we saw some people getting apps/snacks. And the music selection and volume was awesome, too.
