Art's Place is a brewery and bar on N Virginia Dare Trail — the Beach Road corridor — in Kitty Hawk, the northernmost of the three beach towns that make up this stretch of the northern Outer Banks, with Kill Devil Hills and Nags Head running south along the same road. Listed as a $$ brewery and bar with a full food menu, it's a straightforward option for a meal or a round of drinks without much planning required.
The schedule runs Wednesday through Sunday, opening early in the morning and staying open into the evening, with Sunday closing an hour ahead of the rest of the week. Monday and Tuesday are dark, so it's worth checking that against a trip up Beach Road before counting on it.
Kitty Hawk sits at the quieter, less commercial end of the northern Outer Banks corridor, away from the busier stretch of shops and restaurants further south in Nags Head. That makes a stop at Art's Place an easy add-on before or after a morning at the beach. Call ahead at (252) 261-3233 or check the website for current hours before making the trip.
