Bud Joe's Sandbar - Kure Beach

A dive bar that's actually awesome!! Friendly patrons excellent bartender! A lot of locals, but we're so friendly to us out of towners!!

Had a great time in a low key down to earth bar. Service was great and not that expensive. Love the local places.

Dropped in for a beer in a local started accusing me of changing the jukebox. Some old dude started telling me to get the hell out. I don't even know how to change a jukebox with a phone app but hey way to be welcoming of tourists.My friends rave about this place and I've been here before and had a good time so I hope it was a one-off

Never went in my whole life. Finally did. Had a great time.

I have been a patron of Bud Joe's for more than 20 years. It has become a regular stop for me whenever I am on vacation. Their classic dipping sauce is excellent!
