Promised Land Market

Coastal North Carolina


Part craft beer, part wine and gourmet-provisions shop, this excellent newcomer is Morehead City's best time. Taps pour local and regional suds, and a dozen or so wines by the glass, both in the shop and large back bar. Drink with the town's trendy set, then chase drinks down with good sandwiches and wraps.

You can pick up a bottles of craft beer to take out too. Regular live events include open-mic nights.
