This is a completely debaucherous dive bar located kinda in the middle of nowhere but close enough to the NC / SC border shores to draw a combination of local yokels and drunken travelers.  Upon entering the bar with a group of people, I went to buy a round of drinks and was asked to sign a "sign in" sheet because it's a "private club."  This was surely to get names of those who need to piece together the previous night on the next day as I think we were down a cell phone, a wallet, and a person (yes, we lost a person) after leaving.  They were nice and posted on facebook to the person who left their phone.  They did not disturb people playing tonsil hockey in the parking lot.  They have an internet connected juke box and a pool table.  The pool table doesn't return the cue ball if you scratch, but you will definitely be too drunk to care and can use the 8ball as a suitable replacement.  The owner is a Mets fan from Brooklyn, so its the perfect Yankee hang in polite-ville.  You won't remember the bulk of your time here, but sometimes that's just what you need to get a vacation started.  Leave the kids at home and try to be quiet as you sneak in home later.

Me likey. Dive bar on the runway strip at Ocean Isle Beach.  Foosball and a pool table, poker machines, popcorn and pretzels.  Very nice employees and patrons. A civilized way to spend an afternoon, with a red eye out of the heat in an air conditioned bar. Ommmmmm.
