The Growler Bar Emerald Isle

Very friendly service, delicious brews, and laid-back atmosphere. Dog friendly so you may be blessed to see some good pups while you’re enjoying your drinks. A great place to hangout!

Anytime we visit Emerald Isle, this is our go-to brewery. Delicious beer, bar games, super dog friendly. Must try DEEP RIVER sours based in NC. Tourists during the day, locals at night.

Great draft selection, knowledgeable staff and friendly, casual atmosphere. LOVE that it's dog friendly! Plenty of seating indoors and out & easy parking.

Get vibe. Nice people, including bartender. Dog friendly. Lots of selections.

We come here every year. They always have friendly staff and a great selection of beer. This year was no different. I have enjoyed watching this place grow from a tiny hole in the wall sharing space with their ceramic growler business, to taking over the entire space and expanding to a second location. Follow them on Untappd to stay up to date on the beers on tap! Cheers!

Very nice atmosphere. Good & cold drinks. Dog & baby friendly. Good arrange of games and activities!

Great bar! Definitely a hangout for locals... but we are from out of town and felt very welcome! Everybody was very nice. Very dog friendly place. Good selection of beers (both on tap and in the cooler). Non-alcohol options if you need that.

We will be back!

Best beer bar at the beach!

Wonderful Growler stop at the Beach with a Virginia Tech inspired cap to never forget the moment.

Morgan is outstanding! She not only provides a very welcoming smile, but also creates a welcoming setting for anyone coming thru the doors. Good people and good brews, great staff! This is the spot on EI!

Dog friendly and great service close to the beach and killer atmosphere 👌

This place is a gem! Giant shout out to Julie and the locals that make us never want to leave. Great beer and crowd!

Great service, good choice of beer, good group of customers!

Great beer selection. Great rotation. Great staff. Great custom growlers. You don't even know.

This place reminds me of a beer shop I worked at back home. The bartenders are so warm and the space is just as relaxed as you want in the day, but as lively as you want at night. My only complaint is their regulars during the day are literally all past middle aged men that spurt out the n-word. Not a fan of that, but that isn't necessarily the bar's fault. And the bartender corrects them when they start making other people around uncomfortable, which is what amazing bartenders do.

Great vibe, great beer, great service. Arguably the best bar in the universe.

Best social spot on the island! Great beer, friendly service, amazing events/tap takeovers, and all around great atmosphere! Supportive local environment, with a run club that meets Monday at 6:30PM. Dog friendly #woof

Only thing that could make this place better is a fenced back area that could be used as a mini dog park

Great local place to chill. Always a wide variety of craft beer but also have main stream favorites. A small stage occupies the corner for live music.

we stopped here last year when they first opened and knew it would be popular. Went in today great beer my husband had
a stout and just absolutely delicious and we found a beer served from home now they have wine to serve for people like me that are not beer drinkers pretty young crowd in there and we are an older couple but were treated just is friendly as everyone else this is a great little Tavern

The Growler has wine and craft beer. It's locally owned, dog friendly, staffed by friendly bartenders and usually occupied by a blend of locals & tourists. If you drink too much call Designated Driver Taxi. If you didn't drink enough go to Emerald Club (E-Club) after. They're on Untappd.

Music:
The radio is usually on. They have touchtunes & there is live music often on Friday and Saturday.

Beer:
There are 16 taps and there's usually a cider, a sour, a stout, a red, a brown, maybe a golden and a couple of IPAs. They also have domestic beer if you ask for it such as Michelob Ultra Light, Natural Light & Bud Light.

Wine:
I don't drink wine so I can't elaborate too much here, but there are a variety of wines here such as red, white, etc.

Games:
They have cornhole outside and some shuffleboards inside.

Overall it's a great vibe, a very chill place and the best place on the island to just sit down and drink beer.
