We know y’all have been missing our craft soda lately—and tonight, it’s back! Introducing the Front & Center 🌟🍑 a carbonated dream of ginger, peach, and yaupon tea. It’s this year’s fundraising collaboration with Fronting Life. We’ve gotten to know Fronting Life through our Chef de Cuisine Jay. Here’s what he has to say:

“Our industry’s exciting nature can often lead to overstimulation and mental exhaustion. Fronting Life helps provide me with a safe, still space to explore healthy ways of winding down—all while being supported by our community.”

Starting tonight while supplies last, $1 from each sale of Front & Center will go to support Fronting Life’s donation-based weekly workshops that provide space for mindfulness, meditation, community, and creative expression. Check them out Fronting Life and maybe find a little space for yourself ✨

We’re excited for this one ✨🍸

Tonight from 5 to 7 in the bar area, Breanne Lotz is taking over!! For those of you who don’t know Bre, she’s a hometown bartender extraordinaire who moved to NYC a few years back. Tonight, she’s back in town to raise money for a good Wilmington cause.

$1 from each cocktail on Bre’s list will go directly to Cape Fear River Watch to support their continuing work for healthy water in the Cape Fear river basin.

Y’all hear us talk all the time about the water in our area and its bounty of seafood, but what about the food growing in the soil? Healthy soil makes for better food on our plates—better coffee, wine, and spirits in our glasses, too. We’re thrilled to announce that Seabird is teaming up with Zero Foodprint for Dirty Drinks, a bar and beverage campaign that gets grants to farmers to build healthy soil!

From August 24th to August 30th, our Sea Martini will be serving a special purpose. $1 from each of them sold will go directly to farmers restoring our climate by building healthy soil. Bottoms up, carbon down!

Head over to zerofoodprint.org/dirty to learn more about how we’re working with ZFP to make drinks more sustainable and delicious.

It’s Oyster Happy Hour again tonight, so you know what that means—great oysters at a great price!

🍻🦪✨

On tap tonight, we’ve got Little Stars from the waters of Pamlico Sound. Some of you shell flippers ( 😉) may have noticed these oysters looking particularly beautiful lately and you’re not wrong! The folks at have recently brought New Zealand’s FlipFarm system to their farm, allowing them to work smarter, not harder. The system works with the oysters’ growth cycle to naturally tumble, flip, and dry each shell to perfection. This new process leads to stronger, deeper shells and stronger adductor muscles—building up glycogen in a tightly sealed shell for a sweeter, cleaner tasting oyster.

Oyster farmers can’t control what Mother Nature brings to the table, but they can—and do—put in the work to care for them along the way. We so appreciate the innovative ways the team over at Little Stars Oyster Farm keeps their oysters fresh, consistent, and more delicious than ever 🩵

Stop in tonight from 5 to 6pm in the bar area only for $1-per-shell oysters. Seating is first come, first served—so bring a little umbrella and get here a little early!

The beautiful and briny sea bean 🌿🫛🌱

At Seabird, you’ll see these little guys everywhere—accompanying oysters, garnishing salads, even pulverized into a powder and sprinkled over crudo. They’re salt tolerant succulents that naturally grow in marshlands along the coast.

We get ours from the UNCW Aquaculture Program—the same farm where some of our Black Bass is raised. Originally the folks over at UNCW were growing them as part of a closed loop aquaponic cycle, filtering the water that the bass swim in through plant fertilization. As soon as our chefs tasted them while touring the facility, they became a tasty staple on our plates! Sea beans are great sources of vitamins A, B, and C as well as calcium, magnesium, and iodine. They’re said to provide antioxidants and boost the immune system—plus they’re salty and delicious.

We’re so appreciative of the work that the UNCW Aquaculture researchers do to forefront environmental responsibility while driving mariculture technology forward. They’ll be bringing a fresh crop through our doors soon—come try them for yourself!
