Art's Place

Outer Banks


You can't miss this colorfully painted haunt in Kitty Hawk, where tourists are 'sometimes tolerated.' This place prides itself on being a 'local secret' spot, and is a cozy place for chat, burgers and the like. Plus, there's a popular live jazz and open-mic night on Mondays and Wednesday from 7pm.
