You asked for it — you got it! Our wildly popular house wine is now available to take home! SIR WALTER RALEIGH WHITE is a white table wine crafted locally by OBX Winery, and features a flavor profile specifically tailored to complement our food menu of British favorites such as Scotch Eggs, Bangers + Mash, and Sticky Toffee Pudding. Be sure to bring home a bottle as a souvenir from your visit to Downtown Manteo!

You can take a man’s head, but you can’t take his spirit! Back by popular demand from the original limited-edition run during our “Ghost Colony” Halloween event last year, The Ghost of Blackbeard has finally returned in this incredible t-shirt design by local artist Moondog, now available in our Hop Shop retail store and at lostcolonytavern.com in two colors: Midnight Black and Dark Navy Blue. Get yours before they disappear!

Here at Lost Colony Tavern, we don’t celebrate “Father’s Day.” Instead, we celebrate “Dad’s Day.” And while it may seem trivial, it’s an important distinction. The only requirement to be a “father” is the donation of genetic material. Being a “Dad,” however, requires so much more.

Being a Dad requires patience, respect, and an investment of quality time. It requires love, support, and a strong moral compass. But most importantly, it requires an unconditional commitment to doing whatever is necessary to provide the best foundation possible to raise their girls to be strong, independent WOMEN who are armed to break glass ceilings, and their boys to be respectful MEN of integrity who know that “no means no” and who will always open doors for a woman…not because she needs him to, but because she deserves his respect.

Today we’re raising a glass to all of you DADS out there who have dedicated your lives to raising your kids to be incredible human beings who will move our society forward. CHEERS to all you DADS….you are our HEROES!!

Last night we were visited by Rob from Southern Shores, who regularly makes the trek to Roanoke Island to get his fix of Lost Colony Tavern chicken wings. Rob asked us, “Why are your wings SO GOOD?” It’s a great question, Rob, and we’re glad you asked.

It’s love and passion you taste, Rob…well, that and our proprietary blend of herbs, citrus and spices that makes our wing marinade so magical.

You can sauce ‘em up with whatever you want, but the magic is in the meat.

Lots of good voodoo goes into our Tavern Wings, and then added to that your choice of sauce — Anchor Buffalo, Pineapple Teriyaki, Tikka Masala, Thai Chili, Jamaican Jerk or Sweet Heat BBQ — we’re certain that after one taste you’ll understand why our wings have become so popular with locals and visitors alike. Drop by soon and give ‘em a try!
