Nestled in the heart of Manteo’s historic waterfront, at the corner of Queen Elizabeth Avenue and Sir Walter Raleigh Street, Lost Colony Tavern brings centuries of English heritage to life through food, drink, and atmosphere. Founded in 2022, our tavern honors the legacy of the Roanoke Colony by offering an authentic taste of the British Isles—England, Ireland, Scotland, and Wales—right where the story started.
Our menu blends timeless pub classics with local Outer Banks favorites. Enjoy traditional British dishes, British-style beers, and handcrafted cocktails made with Irish whiskey, Scotch, and London dry gin—all thoughtfully curated to transport you across the pond.
We’re also proud to showcase the flavors of Roanoke Island’s waters. From Pamlico Sound blue crab, picked fresh in nearby Hyde County, to Greentail shrimp and daily catches from the Port of Wanchese, our seafood is locally sourced and seasonally inspired.
Whether you choose to dine inside our cozy tavern or outside in our inviting British-style beer garden, Lost Colony Tavern offers a one-of-a-kind experience where Old World charm meets coastal Carolina hospitality.
Manteo Restaurant
Four centuries later, Lost Colony Brewery began crafting British-style ales in the heart of historic downtown Manteo, and in 2022, Roanoke Island's first authentic British tavern was established on the same site, serving the traditional dishes of England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales along with Outer Banks favorites made with fresh local seafood.
At Lost Colony Tavern, we're bringing the flavors of the Old World to the Outer Banks with British-style beers made with ingredients imported from the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland, traditional British Isles dishes, and a Signature Cocktails program centered around Irish Whiskeys, Scotch Whiskeys, and London Dry Gins.

In addition to our British dishes, we also offer a selection of dishes featuring fresh local seafood exclusively sourced from Roanoke Island waters: Pamlico Sound Blue Crab picked and cleaned in neighboring Hyde County along with Greentail Shrimp and a rotating daily selection of indigenous fish from the Port of Wanchese on the south side of Roanoke Island.
