Clawson’s 1905 Restaurant & Pub, housed in a historic brick building on Beaufort, North Carolina’s vibrant waterfront, blends rich history with a lively dining experience. Originally a grocery store owned by Swedish and Irish immigrants Charles and Mary Clawson, the restaurant preserves its past with antique décor, 1920s photos, and memorabilia lining its brick walls and wooden booths. The menu showcases fresh, made-to-order coastal classics like shrimp and grits, crab cakes, and hand-pattied Angus burgers, alongside zesty ribs and locally sourced seafood. Beer enthusiasts flock to the pub for its eight rotating North Carolina craft brews on tap, with monthly “Friday Night Flights” offering free tastings. Open for lunch and dinner year-round, Clawson’s also features a third-floor dining room with stunning views of Beaufort and Cape Lookout Lighthouse, making it a beloved spot for locals and visitors seeking Southern hospitality and flavorful fare.
