Red Oar

Raw and Steam Bar


Brought to life by the legacy of the Sanitary Restaurant and the coastal energy of Yellowfin Pub, Red Oar Raw & Steam Bar is our newest celebration of North Carolina’s seafood heritage.

For 86 years, we have proudly partnered with local commercial fisherman to serve the freshest seafood our coast has to offer – and Red Oar is no exception. From just shucked oysters to steamed local favorites, every dish reflects our deep roots and our love for the water.

Relax with stunning waterfront views, taste the flavors of the Carolina coast, and discover oysters that are fresh and delicious all year round.  Whether you’re catching up with old friends or making new ones, Red Oar is your new go to for authentic seafood and coastal charm.
