Poppy’s Bites and Barrels

Poppy’s Bites and Barrels, located in the historic downtown of New Bern, NC, is a vibrant gastropub that combines Southern comfort food with a modern twist. Housed in a charming building that dates back to the 1800s and originally served as a bank, the restaurant offers handcrafted burgers made from fresh, never-frozen meat, street tacos, specialty mac and cheese, and distinctive appetizers such as candied bacon and truffle fries.

The bar boasts a selection of rare bourbons, 16 rotating craft beer taps, and signature cocktails, including a custom Maker’s Mark whiskey. With military-themed decor that honors both veterans and active-duty service members, Poppy’s creates a warm and community-focused atmosphere.

The restaurant provides ample indoor seating on both the main floor and upstairs, along with happy hour specials and vegetarian and vegan options. Poppy’s is a must-visit spot for quality food, drinks, and genuine Southern hospitality.
