A no-frills brewery and bar on the Kitty Hawk strip, open six days a week
Turf's Up OBX is a brewery and bar on Croatan Highway (US-158) in Kitty Hawk, the northern anchor of the three towns that make up this end of the Outer Banks. It's an unfussy stop for a beer and a stretch of downtime between beach time and dinner plans — taps, a bar counter, and not much pretense.
Kitty Hawk sits along the same Croatan Highway corridor as Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head, so Turf's Up is easy to fold into a day that starts at Wright Brothers National Memorial or wraps up near Jockey's Ridge — no detour required, just a stop along the strip. It's closed on Sundays, so plan a Saturday or weeknight visit, and it's worth a call ahead during hurricane season (June–November), when storm tracks can affect hours up and down the beach.

We brought our team to Turfs Up OBX for an employee outing, and we had an absolute blast! Such a fun atmosphere, and everyone had a great time. The simulator bays were awesome, and it was the perfect way for our team to relax, laugh, and spend some time together outside of work. We enjoyed ourselves so much and can’t wait to come back!

We had a great time taking 3 boys on a windy day in Outer Banks. Simulators were easy to play and the many different games kept the kids interested the whole time! Highly recommend

Staff was very nice and welcoming! It was also nice having them explain how the games work and everything, although I feel that maybe it shouldn't have been part of the paid time we had the bay for. However, the real issue is that the simulator just genuinely isn't good with anything but golf, and even then it struggled with balls which go vertical on short hits or poor swings. Unfortunately the simulator just didnt track the other sports very well and the games were very limited compared to the golf options...

This place is a great way to spend time with friends and family. For the people that like to have a good time, this is the place to go. Jack is very personable and friendly. He did not hesitate to answer any questions or teach us how to play any sport on the simulator. Overall a great time!
