Aqua Restaurant Celebrates 20 Years

Aqua, a popular restaurant known for unique libations and flavorful dishes of all sizes, including gluten-free, vegetarian and dairy-free options, is celebrating 20 years in business. Located in historic Beaufort, North Carolina, Aqua originated as a tapas restaurant in 2003 and has grown into a favorite spot for residents and visitors year-round.

Fresh, local flavors take priority at Aqua, and diners will notice sun-ripened local tomatoes, fresh-caught grouper, regional cheeses and additional seasonal extras among the menu choices. Executive Chef John McGregor and Chef de Cuisine Hannah Minter are creative with these regional finds and Aqua’s wine and martini list is curated with the same focus on the unexpected.

Owner Joey McClure, who also owns nearby Clawson’s 1905 Restaurant and Pub, says, “We believe dining out should be both memorable and fun.”

Location: 114 Middle Lane. For more information, call 252-728-7777 or visit AquaExperience.com.
