Outer Banks Posts - Roanoke Island & Manteo

It's been a minute since we updated everyone on the STAR Center patients. Big things happened on January 31st as N.E.S.T. (Network for Endangered Sea Turtles) volunteers picked up 77 turtles in the wee hours of the morning from STAR Center. 5 of these turtles were transferred to our sister facilities NC Aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores and NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher.A WHOPPING 72 turtles from the STAR Center were delivered to the U.S. Coast Guard Station Fort Macon and loaded up for release at sea! We are beyond grateful for the many partners that make this work possible.

The Public Works Department has been busy as always out and about in the community working on various projects. The State of North Carolina has designed 2023 as the Year of the Trail. Thank you to the Public Works crew for helping to keep our sidewalks nice, which help connect to the different trails in our community.

Until the end of February, Lost Colony Tavern will be operating on a reduced Winter schedule: Wednesday through Sunday from noon to seven in order to complete a few projects and give our incredible employees a well-earned break. On March 1st, we will return to 11:00-8:00 seven days a week as we launch our month-long Spring event, “The Festival of St. Patrick” featuring the traditional food, beer and music of the Emerald Isle — no green beer or corned beef & cabbage here! In the meantime, drop by throughout February for a hot meal and cold beer right here in Downtown Manteo!

WOW!!! We are humbled beyond belief at the incredible article about Lost Colony Tavern in this week’s edition of The Coastland Times! We are proud to represent the English history of Roanoke Island with the food, beer & spirits of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales here in our little British tavern. We worked very hard in 2022 to create something special for the community, and we have more plans in store for 2023 and beyond. Huge thanks to journalist Summer Stevens, The Coastland Times, and the Town of Manteo for the incredible support as we celebrate our first year in business here at the Manteo Waterfront Marina….CHEERS!!

If you still haven’t taken the time to curl up with a great book by hometown hero Greg Smrdel, the winter months are the perfect time to do so! Greg’s incredible novels & trivia books are available in our retail “Hop Shop” next door to the tavern and at Downtown Books, Manteo’s full-service independent bookseller. Check out Greg’s fun Trivia Night events around town at NouVines, Wabi Sabi Manteo, and Poor Richard's!!
