★★★★☆ 4.0 Creating Exposure Through The Arts · Nov 2025

4.5 Stars: Hidden Culinary Gem Masquerading as a Sports Bar! 🦈 Shark Bar & Kitchen at 13 East Salisbury Street, Wrightsville NC 28480 When we walked into Shark Bar & Kitchen, the atmosphere was classic, cool neighborhood bar—perfect for watching the Carolina Panthers game. But let me tell you, the moment we caught the scent of seriously good seasoning, everything changed. When a sports bar menu starts dropping high-end ingredients like “Duck Fat” and “Caviar,” you know you’re in for a surprise, and this spot absolutely delivered! We ordered a few things just to test the waters, and the results were jaw-dropping: The WOW Factor Dishes • Duck Fat Kettle Chips w/ Whipped Crème Fraîche + Caviar: UNBELIEVABLE. I've had caviar on my travels to Brazil, but this was a revelation. The chips wer

Popped in for lunch and dinner. Jade and Rachel did an exceptional job catering and proving prompt and friendly service. The food was fresh, flavorful, as I enjoyed their selection. Their drink menu was surprisingly inviting, offering numerous options, in the vicinity of the coast. Thank you for taking care of me.

Incredible food, great atmosphere, and great drinks. They provide local caught fresh seafood, nothing frozen, helping both the local fishing industry and providing the freshest seafood on the island. There is no better option when looking for a premium seafood dinner. I had an amazing experience at Shark Bar Restaurant! The sushi was incredibly fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. Every roll we tried was perfectly balanced and clearly made with care and skill. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients in every bite. A huge shoutout to sushi chef James for crafting such outstanding dishes — his attention to detail and creativity truly stand out. Also, bartender Bryan was fantastic! He was friendly, attentive, and made some excellent drinks that paired perfectly with o

The sushi was amazing! James made incredible sushi— every roll was fresh and presented beautifully! Brian was the bartender and he made one of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had! As someone visiting from out of town, I highly recommend Shark bar and will be back the next time I visit!

I had the best sushi experience I’ve ever had at Red Cat Sushi at Shark Bar. From the first bite, you could tell the fish was incredibly fresh — clean, buttery, and full of flavor. Every roll was crafted so well and completely different from anything I’ve had before. The Sushi Chef, James has a true gift with sushi and made some excellent and unique rolls. The combinations were creative without being overcomplicated, and each one tasted balanced and unique. On top of the amazing sushi, the bartender Brian made one of the best Old Fashioneds I’ve ever had. It was smooth, perfectly balanced, and paired so well with the meal. Between the quality of the fish, the originality of the rolls, and the top-tier cocktail, it was hands down an unforgettable experience.
