Wrightsville Beach’s New Restaurant

A new restaurant opened recently on Wrightsville Beach, giving diners several options under one roof. Banks Channel, a large restaurant located on Causeway Drive, has two distinct sections. There is a pub and grille with a distinctly sports bar feel in the front that comes complete with televisions, an inviting bar, traditional pub tables and two pool tables. The second room is a formal dining room complete with linen-draped tables and an extensive menu. Everything from really good burgers to pizza to club sandwiches to such dishes as fish & chips, a New York strip, and a farmer’s crepe are offered. Be sure to try the homemade red potato chips and jicama slaw – they are delicious.

Banks Channel offers daily specials on adult beverages as well as on food. Each day brings a different discount for pitchers or buckets of beer as well as specials on individual brands of beer and assorted cocktails. They are open for dinner seven nights a week and even serve late night food until 1:30 a.m. They are open for lunch on Saturdays and Sundays too.
