A bit of a Drive to the Tap Shack in Duck, but if you are a music lover, be sure to check out their lineup of top regional and national acts. Very kid /family friendly and the best thing is that the music begins at 6:30 and ends at around 9:30 for you/us old folks. 😊. Also offers excellent food options from Cravings that was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.
