Backstreet Pub

Stepping into Backstreet Pub in Beaufort feels a bit like slipping into a well-worn favorite sweater—comfortable, familiar, yet brimming with stories waiting to be shared. The pace here is unhurried, inviting you to settle in and become part of the ebb and flow of a place that has quietly held its character for decades. There’s a timelessness in the uneven bricks beneath your feet and the faint remnants of an old bakery oven tucked in the corner, subtle reminders of the building’s past that add a tactile layer to the pub’s inviting charm.

The atmosphere thrives in its simplicity—a brick-lined yard shaded by a leafy tree, flags fluttering softly above the bar, and a hum of conversations weaving between locals and visitors alike. This is a spot where people come not just to drink, but to connect, sharing stories over a cold beer or a thoughtfully poured craft brew. The bartenders here know their regulars by name and welcome newcomers with the kind of warmth that turns first-timers into familiar faces.

Music often threads through the evenings, drawing in a crowd that appreciates both the sound and the spirit of the place. Whether it’s a lively weekend or a quieter day, Backstreet Pub holds onto a genuine sense of community that’s increasingly rare along the NC coast. It’s not a flashy destination, but rather a rooted gathering spot where history, friendship, and the simple joy of good company come together naturally.

Visiting Backstreet Pub means stepping into a little piece of Beaufort’s heart—where the past lingers in the worn surfaces and the present unfolds with easy smiles, cold drinks, and shared moments that linger long after the last card is played.
