Southport

Southport, a historic coastal town near the mouth of the Cape Fear River, has a modest but varied bar scene - BarFinder lists 20 venues, led by sports bars with a real wine bar and cocktail bar presence, plus a brewery and winery. Local spots like The Pub of Southport and Carolina Crab Brewing Company cover the classic side, while Water Tower Wine adds a bit more variety. It's a small coastal-town scene more than a defined nightlife strip.
