Silver Dollar

Awesome steamed seafood on the boardwalk.
Friendly staff make you feel like you belong.

A hidden treasure at the CB boardwalk. Everyone knows «The Dollar» is a great place for drinks and fun. But it is not widely known how amazing the food is. Top of the list, and highly recommended… brie app with apples and toast points (yum:-), if you are hungry, the beef and pinto bean chili and the chicken salad sandwich (with real bacon) really hits the spot. Without a doubt… the best bar food in CB. But the biggest surprise is the desserts… Dava creates special desserts every night and each is amazing… including almond joy brownies, creamsicle cake, and Italian wedding cake, just to name a few.
Oh, and the bar staff, Wendy, Lori and Kelsey, make everyone feel like they just stopped by a friends house. Recommend stopping by for a dinner or snack before the weekend for the very best service and great food.

Great atmosphere for drinks and dancing. Karaōke on the weekends and lots of fun to be had. This place has a great local feel and an awesome staff.

The sandwiches are for babies. Little baby sandwiches. I feel like I’ve been duped. I feel like it’s a restaurant set up to be so disappointing, that you go drink away what you’ve just experienced at the bar. It could be comparable to the Star Wars prequels, or maybe a nickelback concert.

I brought my two kids in and was a little surprised that this is more bar than restaurant. At 1 pm there only a couple other people here, but definitely would not bring the kids in the evening. We are here mid October, which is near the end of the season for most places, so the town feels kind of empty. If I was traveling without kids and wanted to chat with some locals in the off season, this is one of the places I would stop. The food was not bad either.

The Silver Dollar is a great beach bar! Wonderful food ! Fun on Karaōke nights! Great DJ dancing. I have never had a bad time here!

Finally had a chance to stop by and see an old friend from back in the day. Toni still hot as ever and can kill a Reubens sandwich. Christine got a shrimp quesadillas. al good and love seeing Toni. gain.

Thursday OFF-​Season Dollar Taco night is back! 7 – 9 pm dine in only, the beers are good, the tacos are gold! Great service and nice little dive bar, and its on the boardwalk. Give it a try !

Horrible Experience. Beer is beer, but the food was awful. We ordered some sandwiches and appetizers. After we ordered, we noticed an unusual smell from the back. We asked what the smell was and the bartender said «Hunny, that’s your food.» It is Ok for drinks and music.
The sink for the bathroom out in the open bar is kinda funny too!

Great atmosphere and service. Friendly staff.

As a native, we found this bar years ago and still go each time we’re in town! Great service, great prices and always a good time.

My friends and I ate at the Silver Dollar after a long drive to Wilmington and a few hours on the beach. The chicken quesadilla was excellent and very filling! Kinda expensive but was pleased with the taste of the food.
Only one guy was working for a semi-​full bar and cooking at the same time so we patiently waited a little longer then we would of liked. Good thing the food was nice and hot when we got it!
Would definitely go there again after a day at the beach.

What a night. This bar and the one next to it are so much fun! About as Carolina Beach as you can get. They both do karaōke on the weekends. This place was slammed with people when our party of 12 first showed up. But, as the night wore on, it thinned out and we ended up having a really great time. The place is kept really clean and the staff does a good job of keeping the riff-​raff out.
The bathroom sink is outside the bathroom. Like, there’s a men’s bathroom and a women’s bathroom. And then you walk out of the bathroom into the bar to wash your hands. It’s the strangest thing. It’s the same way next door. I guess they think people will wash their hands more if they’re being watched?
