This bar is cute…the music 🎶 they play in the evenings sounds good. We enjoyed it every night as we stayed in the Vacasa rental right next to the bar! The drinks we got today were delish…We got the “TIT” and my daughter got a “trailer trash”….they were both tasty!

Great little bar that lots of locals hang out. Reminds me of my American Legion back home. Everyone very friendly. They have live music often.

Super great vibes and energy across from the beach drinks are good and they do not break your arm and leg with marking up prices ! Ginger was a vibe she will take care of you! Thanks for the experience! Cheers

Very friendly and attentive service. Large outdoor seating area to take in some sun while enjoying an adult beverage while listening to some great live music. We will definitely be back!!!

Well it is what it is, a trailer that's a bar. But don't let that hold you back from giving it a try, it and it's deck are full of friendly people. A wide selection of ice cold 🍺 and just about any liquor you would want. Definitely drop in and make a friend.

Who we are

About Trailer Bar

Trailer Bar has built a 673-review following on a simple, perfect concept: take a trailer, set it across from the beach, fill it with cold beer, friendly bartenders like Ginger, and a deck for sun and live music. Customers describe the prices as reasonable (no tourist markups), the vibe as American Legion-meets-beach-bar, and the regulars as immediate friends. House cocktails like the 'TIT' and the 'Trailer Trash' have local cult status, and the live music nights pull a crowd from up and down the coast. Drop in once — you'll have a new favorite Surf City spot.
