SNAKES HAVE INVADED THE EMERALD ISLE and there’s only one man who can save Ireland from certain doom. IN TWO DAYS our hero returns for a month-long celebration of THE FESTIVAL OF SAINT PATRICK featuring a special menu of the traditional food, beers, and spirits enjoyed by the Irish during the month of March. SLÁINTE!!

It’s SPRING CLEANING at the Colony! We’re closed Monday + Tuesday while we’re hard at work getting YOUR British tavern ready for the season! We return to our usual SEVEN DAYS A WEEK beginning this Wednesday, March 1st, as we launch our newest seasonal event, THE FESTIVAL OF SAINT PATRICK! See you soon!!

Did you know that your best friend wants to go on vacation too? When you stay with us you don't have to worry about leaving your animals behind.

What is an IRISH BAR BOMB?

Here at Lost Colony Tavern, we serve fun shooters to celebrate the best things in life. There is a popular boilermaker variation whose name is disrespectful to those who were affected by “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland during the latter half of the 1900s. The bombing of vehicles is not fun, so we’re changing the game by changing the name.

Our IRISH BAR BOMB is a half-pint of authentic Guinness stout served with a shot of Baileys + Jameson Irish Whiskey. The shot is dropped into the pint and is consumed together for a taste of three classic Irish libations together in perfect harmony. Enjoy the flavours of Ireland with this fun Irish shooter!

We’re known for our classic comfort dishes, but we always like to spice it up with our nightly specials. Stop in tomorrow to see what we've got planned for ya!

Our flounder and shrimp combo is a fan favorite! Pair this with our famous hush puppies and greens and you've got yourself a delicious meal that'll keep you coming back for more.

Ocrafolk Festival Artisan Application Deadline Approaching (Feb 28). Just a reminder to artisans applying for booth consideration for the 2023 Ocrafolk Festival, that our deadline is two weeks earlier this year, or February 28th. We had several requests last year to move our acceptance date so that artists would have more time to book lodging. Don't miss out!

Our previously announced restaurant closing of Tuesday, Feb 28 through Thursday, March 2 has now been pushed back by a week. TRiO's restaurant will be open regular hours the first week of March! Current plans (we are at the mercy of contractors) have our restaurant being closed Tuesday, March 7 through Thursday, March 9 as we pivot through the initial stages of construction on our expanded kitchen.

Thank you for your understanding!
