About

Wild Goose Wine Bar is a straightforward stop for a glass of wine on the northern Outer Banks, located in Corolla at a moderate $$ price point. Categorized as a brewery and bar with food service alongside the wine list, it reads as a spot built for an unhurried pour rather than a full sit-down dinner — the kind of place to end a beach day rather than start one.

One detail worth flagging before you plan a visit: the bar keeps weekday hours only, open Monday through Friday and closed Saturdays and Sundays. That's the opposite rhythm of most Corolla restaurants, which lean hard into weekend crowds, so it isn't a fallback for a Saturday night out here. Specific opening and closing times weren't listed, so call ahead at (252) 722-6082 or check the website before heading over.

Corolla itself sits north of the core Outer Banks beach towns, past Duck, with a quieter, more spread-out feel than the busier strip to the south. A wine bar at this price point fits that low-key, slightly upscale character — a reasonable stop after a day spent around the lighthouse and historic district, or simply something calmer than a typical beach bar after time in the sun.

We had the Loosey Goosey flight, the Paloma, and the S’mores Old Fashioned. Decent drinks, a bit slow to make but the bartenders were nice.

Ordered a German Pretzel, the combo was actual so good and enjoyed by everyone. The service was great and friendly. The owner was very familiar with the products and very knowledgeable overall. Atmosphere was very laid back, very chilled and we enjoyed it. The music was perfect, not too loud and was a vibe for the vibe and even including international vibes for all the wine selections they have. Great wine selections!

If you’re looking for a GREAT wine tasting experience this is the place to be! We accidentally stumbled upon the Wild Goose Wine Bar as we were returning from an all day trip in Corolla. Owners are friendly and willing to share their knowledge of wines from around the world! We learned so much, tasted some great wine and their food is amazing! And, they also serve beer! We wish the owners much success in pursuing their retirement dream. They have a pretty good thing going here! So glad we stopped in and we are looking forward to future visits every time we come from the mainland. Highly recommend!!!

What a fantastic place, great concept that you can pour 1oz tasters of different wine and then decide which one you want a glass of. The cheese board was lovely too and perfect with the different wines. Just make sure you bring either a designated driver or a lot of restraint. Will definitely be back!

Got caught in the rain while shopping in Corolla. Found this fun place and ended up enjoying several glasses of wine from the tap. I really liked the Malbec best. They had a wide variety of wines. My boyfriend really liked the smoked maple old fashioned. It's not only wine, they also have bourbon and beer. The staff were wonderful and explained how the wine taps work. It's a really neat place to chill if you're tired of shopping. I recommend a visit and am looking forward to returning next year.
