Cru Wine Bar

Coastal North Carolina


In a tiny town like Beaufort, it's a revelation that decent coffee could be found at 6:30am, but it's even more fantastic that the connected wine bar is one of the most sophisticated spots in town for a drink at 6:30pm! This triple-action bar, coffeehouse and bottle shop fills the need on both ends.

Great espresso, 31 wines by the glass and a full bar. Live music on Fridays and Saturdays (from 8:30pm).
