Nestled in the heart of Manteo’s historic waterfront, at the corner of Queen Elizabeth Avenue and Sir Walter Raleigh Street, Lost Colony Tavern brings centuries of English heritage to life through food, drink, and atmosphere. Founded in 2022, our tavern honors the legacy of the Roanoke Colony by offering an authentic taste of the British Isles—England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales—right where the story started.
Our menu blends timeless pub classics with local Outer Banks favorites. Enjoy traditional British dishes, British-style beers, and handcrafted cocktails made with Irish whiskey, Scotch, and London dry gin—all thoughtfully curated to transport you across the pond.
We’re also proud to showcase the flavors of Roanoke Island’s waters. From Pamlico Sound blue crab, picked fresh in nearby Hyde County, to Greentail shrimp and daily catches from the Port of Wanchese, our seafood is locally sourced and seasonally inspired.
Whether you choose to dine inside our cozy tavern or outside in our inviting British-style beer garden, Lost Colony Tavern offers a one-of-a-kind experience where Old World charm meets coastal Carolina hospitality.
