A Wrightsville Beach tradition since 1973, the old-fashioned wooden exterior of the Raw Bar has seen its share of hurricanes and storms. Inside, more warm wooden features welcome the patrons as they enjoy oysters and clams on the half-shell or other seafood favorites. Order a beer or mixed drink from the bar. A favorite nightspot for those staying in nearby hotels, the Raw Bar is conveniently located right in the middle of the action -- just a few steps from the beach. Occasional live music, foosball tables and pool tables help pass the nights at the Raw Bar. -- NCN
