Avalon Fishing Pier

This place is a must visit when you are coming down to the Outer Banks. In the off season fishing is free. They have a private lot. The pier sits right in the beach. Come at sunset on a good day and you'll get a great photo moment.If we want a decadent meal of our favorite fried foods, then we come here. The dood is freshly fried, no soggy food here. Our Daves are their huge basket of fries. The onion rings were so deliciously crunchy.They serve beer and wine. In the off season, they have drink specials as low as $3 for standard beer and $5 for a nice craft.Staff is always friendly. Follow their social media because there's either a band or open mic or karaoke.

Awesome local Pier, been going since the 80's. Food is great! We don't fish but enjoy watching it happen, probably the best pier in the OBX! Only problem is the arcade, extremely outdated, needs major updates, half the games are out of order. Staff is super friendly! Cheers to the chef!

We went to the bar on top. We would probably give this establishment a 5 * rating for the awesome views, amazing breeze and cool ambience but have to deduct 2 stars. One * because there is only beer and a limited selection of wines in a can; one * because the wine and beer are served in cheap plastic cups. Drinking prosecco out of a clear solo cup just didn't seem right! The prices were steep as well. A can of PBR was $5.50 and my husband was served a semi-cold Blue Moon. However, we would recommend coming here for the view alone.

Recommended to us by friends for some drinks before dinner. Definitely appears to be a more local spot. Decent beer selection for good prices. The view alone is worth the visit

Decided to go fishing on a very windy and cold day, so not too many people on the pier. I liked that there is a bar/restaurant area inside where you can warm up. Looks like there are some video games for kids as well.The pier has communal baskets to help haul up your catch and there are also fish cleaning stations with brushes. Watch your bait as the birds know there are free eats. $12 to fish all day and $2 to watch. A great area to fish if you're in the neighborhood.

We went here for a few drinks before dinner. I do wish they had cocktails, but their wine/seltzer/beer collection is decent regardless. It's a little rough around the edges but overall a good place to relax and have a few. The view from the pier is wonderful. Would recommend!

Came here with my group for a bite to eat around dinner time. We were happy with how short the wait was, and were able to sit outside overlooking the ocean... not so thrilled about the service. We had to ask for menus, and weren't told that we must order our food from the bar. The waitress seemed very busy, and kept dropping our food off for the bartender to take to us. The bartender seemed a little preoccupied with his own interests, and we had to grab the food from the bar ourselves. The food was as you'd expect from a pier - nothing special, but also nothing I'd turn my nose from. I went with chicken tenders, thinking you can't go wrong with those. I was pleased to be right about that. There were a few arcade games inside, as well as live music. It wasn't very clean, but the lighting made it harder to tell. Everyone seemed pretty laid-back inside, which felt like it made sense for this place. 3/5

Clearly a local hangout where tourist are welcome. Very dog friendly. Live music often. Decent prices for beer and bar food and laid back hang out spot. Noisy but friendly bar with older kid family friendly activities (arcade and fishing).

We check this place out in the whim. Sat down at the bar ordered some 1 beer,b2 sodas, and 5 or 6 mixed drinks. Ordered the clam strip basket, fish basket, and wings. All were great! Prices were really good for the area. Above was about $70.00 most places that would just be for the drinks. Mixed drinks were on the small end but we're perfic size for the price. Staff was great. The place was clean & has tones of coin-operated games for the kids. Also you can rent fishing gear, buy bait, and pay to fish off the pier. great place for fishermen to spend the day.

Favorite vacation activity for 30 years. Morning fishing is fantastic. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Can't beat it.
