Oceanfront Restaurant in Nags Head, NC
Now Open for the 2025 Season!
Oceanfront dining doesn’t get much better than this! Located on the beach at milepost 18.5 in Nags Head, Fish Head’s Bar & Grill has been one of the top hangouts on the Outer Banks for the last 10 years, and it’s easy to see why. Our restaurant opens up to the Outer Banks Fishing Pier, which extends over the ocean. People love joining us for a beverage on the pier, at the bar, or out on the deck.
After all, if it’s not the view that draws in the crowd, it’s the beer – Fish Head’s Bar & Grill’s selection of craft beers on draft offers over 40 choices. We also have a number of bottled and canned brews too. If beer isn’t so much your style, we have wine and sake..
At Fish Head’s, though, we’re more than just drinks. We’re open for lunch and dinner, and we’re known for our delicious happy hour shrimp, unbeatable daily specials, and relaxing oceanfront dining experience. From laid-back lunches to sunset dinners and late-night snacks, we’ve got something for everyone.
Family-friendly and full of good vibes, Fish Head’s is the perfect place to kick back, catch some live music and events, and soak up those legendary OBX views for days. Come see why locals and visitors alike keep coming back — there’s always something happening at Fish Head’s Bar & Grill!
A Nags Head Restaurant, Bar and More
Our family-friendly environment is an awesome place to dine outside or overlooking the Atlantic. Throughout the day we serve baskets of fried and steamed seafood (always local), chicken, fresh fish sandwiches and tacos, burgers, salads and more. Or join us for happy hour, routinely named Best of the Beach, between 4 and 6 p.m. daily. Just don't forget to save room for dessert.
It's not just the dining that makes this place popular, but the fishing too. Fish Head’s adjoining Outer Banks Fishing Pier is open to anglers of all abilities – no fishing license required! Just grab the bait, tackle and gear you need from the pier house and a daily, weekly or weekend pass.
