Nightlife in Atlantic Beach, NC

Where can you find a place that stays open late on Atlantic Beach? Why not meet your friends at Amos Mosquito’s Restaurant & Bar on Thursday night when karaoke starts up at 9:00 PM and the fun begins, or drop by the Beach Tavern which has music and sports TV and where guests can linger until 2:00 AM. If you want to dance the night away, Memories Beach Club has the only Shag Club on the Crystal Coast.
