Tap That OBX

Summer is here!

Well… pretty much.

The weather hasn’t fully committed yet. It’s giving “one foot in, one foot out” energy, and frankly, I’m going to need it to be all 10 toes in. Sheesh.

With summer comes a whole new schedule and entertainment almost every day of the week! We’re stretching our hours too, thanks to the coffee shop, which means some days this place is running from 7am-11pm. Coffee to cocktails, we’ve got you covered.

Here’s what most weeks will look like:

☀️ Sunday (some, not all) – Steel Drums on the front porch | 1-4pm
🎶 Monday – Dee Thornley Live on Stage
🎤 Tuesday – Karaoke / DJ Night
🎵 Wednesday – Music Bingo
🎱 Thursday – Pool Tournament
🧠 Friday – Trivia followed by Karaoke/DJ
🎸 Saturday – Live Music

And that’s just the regular lineup!

We’ll also be sprinkling in Dueling Pianos, special guest musicians on Thursdays and Sundays, Singles Nights, Game Nights, and whatever other fun ideas we can dream up along the way.

So grab your calendar, save the dates, find your favorite barstool, and come make some memories with us.

Here’s to the Summer of 2026 at Tap That — good drinks, good people, and plenty of stories waiting to happen. 🍻☀️

See you soon!

We are still in EOG mode, and y’all definitely understood the assignment.

You showed up, showed out, and aced our LAST Saturday Night Music Bingo before we make the switch to Wednesday nights for the summer. 📚✅

Reminder: THIS WEDNESDAY is our first Wednesday Night Music Bingo. Don’t forget!

But before we get there… have you completed all your extra credit assignments this weekend?

We don’t normally do Sunday entertainment, but when you’ve got someone as fun as Justin Prillaman, you throw the lesson plan out the window and make an exception.

Trust me—you need the extra credit. And lucky for you, we’ve got a barstool with your name on it.

Music starts at 6 PM and goes until 9 PM

The bar is open, the garage door is up, and the weather is absolutely showing off today. This is the kind of Sunday people write country songs about.

See you soon!

Your view from Tap That Bean Coffee Shop, inside Tap That.

Who can say they had a better front porch to sit and sip. Ocean sound in the background, a slight breeze, sunshine and warm temps.

We have a front porch swinging waiting for you.

Open 7am-1pm today (closing a little earlier for graduation party) - Bar Opens back up at 5pm!

Who's ever said, "I want to play in a band someday"?

Well, tonight might be your chance to cross that one off the bucket list.

🎶 Justin Prillaman is back from 6-9 PM, and he doesn't just play music—he turns the crowd into the band. He brings all kinds of instruments, so whether you've got rhythm or just confidence, you're qualified.

The best part? You can become a "professional musician" without ever leaving your barstool. Drink in one hand, instrument in the other. That's what we call talent.

Come be entertained, become part of the entertainment, or at the very least, give Justin some local love. This definitely isn't his first time here, and hopefully not his last.

After all, he's kin to "The Mayor" himself—Jack. If you know, you know.

The man. The myth. The legend.

Bar opens at 5 PM.
Justin takes the stage at 6 PM.

See y'all tonight.

Well I would say most understood the assignment and passed the first part of their EOG - showing up for the last Saturday Music Bingo before we switch to Wednesdays for the summer!!

If you have kids, you know it’s E.O.G. season.

For those without school-aged kids, that stands for End Of Grade testing.

So tonight, we have a test of our own.

📝 Question #1:How well is your math mathing?

📝 Question #2:What night is Music Bingo moving to?

If you answered "Wednesday," congratulations. You pass.

Because THIS is the last Saturday Night Music Bingo of the summer before we make the switch to Wednesday nights!

Now for the bonus question...

The coffee shop inside Tap That opens at 7AM Thursday–Sunday.The bar is opening earlier for summer hours.

So if we open at 7AM and stay open until 10PM or 11PM depending on the day...

How many hours of Tap That is that?

The answer:A whole lot.

Like 16+ hours of coffee, cocktails, cold beer, snacks, friends, questionable karaoke decisions, and absolutely zero excuses.

☕ Coffee person? We got you.🍹 Coffee first, cocktails later? We definitely got you.🚶 Evening stroll and a drink? Yep.🎤 Nightlife and all the fun? Pull up a chair.

Whether you're starting your day with caffeine or ending it with a libation, Tap That is officially your all-day study hall.

Class dismissed. See you this morning.tonight.and any hour in between.

Karaoke at its best

05/29/2026

Trivia and Karaoke.
What do they have in common?

Absolutely nothing.

One rewards people for knowing useless information.
The other rewards people for confidently singing the wrong lyrics.

And somehow… both are wildly entertaining.

🧠 Trivia starts at 6:30 PM
🎤 Karaoke & DJ kick off around 8:30-ish

Come prove you know the capital of a country you’ll never visit, then stick around and absolutely butcher a Journey song in front of strangers who will cheer for you anyway.

•Pizza for the late-night munchies & Fresh charcuterie boxes from mcgrathsburgershack (limited supply, so don’t wait)
•Drinks to help you remember answers… or forget your karaoke performance

We’re often called a hidden gem.

Which is funny, because between the trivia arguments, karaoke singing, and DJ music, we’re probably one of the loudest hidden gems around!

Bar Opens at 3pm, well technically the bar has been OPEN ALL DAY with the coffee shop opening at 7am 😳😎
