☀️ Well… would you look at that? Summer’s unofficial kickoff showed up looking absolutely gorgeous this weekend — despite a few weather apps trying their best to ruin the vibe. Nice try. 😏🌤️🏖️

Hopefully you got your beach fix, a little sunshine, and maybe even the beginning of that “I totally tan naturally” glow. Now it’s time to rehydrate properly… with a martini, obviously. 🍸

Lucky for you, Kathryn’s is already shaking the ice, chilling the glasses, and waiting to hand over the martini you’ve been thinking about all weekend. Pair it with a perfectly cooked filet & grilled shrimp, fresh Grouper, or Ahi Tuna so good you’ll suddenly become very protective of your plate.

And fair warning — the Chef’s features this weekend are definitely not “I’ll just have a bite” friendly. 😌

Memorial Weekend means summer has officially entered the chat and there are only 100 days left to make questionable decisions, collect sunsets, and eat incredible food. We suggest starting here. 🥂
See you soon. 😋🍸

🚨 Public Service Announcement 🚨

Today is National Servers’ Day and we’d like to give a BIG shout out to all the servers out there — especially ours here at Kathryn’s Bistro & Martini Bar! ❤️🍸

The ones who smile through chaos, carry 14 things at once, say “absolutely!” while internally panicking, and somehow still keep your drinks coming.😜

So today… be extra nice to your servers. And remember — “you were amazing!” is sweet, but cash is sweeter. 💸😉

If you’re on the Island today or this weekend, stop by Kathryn’s for lunch or come see us for dinner where our amazing crew will be ready to take great care of you! 🍸❤️🍽️

See you soon!
We ❤️ Servers!

Fri-YAY has arrived and WOW… what a beautiful day outside! ☀️🌸

Looks like Mother Nature finally decided to quit playing games and give us a little taste of Spring before summer storms in here with the heat, the traffic, the grocery store chaos, and yes… the dreaded wait for a table or barstool at Kathryn’s. 😜

So consider this your warning and your invitation.

So you already know what needs to happen. Grab your friends, your family, your partners in crime — whoever — and get yourself to Kathryn’s tonight!

Our Chef’s Features are ready to make you swoon, and our bartenders are shaking martinis like it’s the end of the world as we know it.🍸🍽️🍸

Lunch starts at 12:00, dinner starts at 4:00, and good decisions start the second you walk through our doors.

See you tonight, friends! 🥂🍸😋

Happy World Cocktail Day Friends!!! 🍸

Honestly, if you needed a sign to go out for martinis tonight… this is it. Consider it your official public service announcement. 😜

So cancel the boring plans, text the group chat, put on your party pants and get yourself to Kathryn’s Bistro & Martini Bar immediately. The cocktails are cold, the shakers are shaking, and those barstools aren’t going to fill themselves. Maybe not anyway…

But don’t take too long… seating is limited and procrastination is not very cocktail chic. 🍸✨

Cheers! 🥂

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing Moms out there! 💐💖

And for those of you wondering what Mom really wants today, let us help you out…

Mom does NOT want to:
❌ make decisions
❌ make plans
❌ make dinner
❌ clean the kitchen
❌ make grocery lists
❌ hear “what do you want to do?” one more time

What DOES Mom want?
✔️ To be pampered
✔️ To be served
✔️ To enjoy a fabulous lunch or dinner
✔️ To sip an ice cold martini or a Mother’s Day Mimosa while someone else handles everything!🍸🥂

So listen to your Mother and take her to Kathryn’s Bistro & Martini Bar! 🍸💐

We’re open today starting at 12:00 for lunch and dinner begins at 4:00! We’ve got all of Mom’s favorites waiting for her — all you have to do is get her here!

Mom said: “Take me to Kathryn’s.”
Listen to your Mother. 👩🌸💕

Happy Mother’s Day Eve Friends! 💐

What’s the busiest day of the year for restaurants? Yep — Mother’s Day… and surprise! It’s tomorrow. 😳

No plan? No reservation? No problem. Kathryn’s has you covered (again). And lucky for you, we don’t take reservations anyway, so everyone’s on equal footing here!

We’re open for both lunch and dinner, so gather the family, grab the guest(s) of honor, and head to Kathryn’s. We’ll handle the cooking, the cocktails, the martinis, and yes… even the dishes. All you have to do is show up, order a drink, and take all the credit. 🍸

Lunch starts at 12:00
Dinner starts at 4:00

Mother’s Day = officially saved. ❤️

We ❤️ Moms!

Happy National Cosmo Day, Fabulous Friends! 🍸✨

Do we really need to say anything more? The Cosmo is basically the celebrity of martinis — the drink that launched a thousand martinis and made every one of us want to channel our inner Carrie Bradshaw for a night. 💋

So grab your BFF’s, your crew, your favorite people, glam up a little (Carrie would insist), and head over to Kathryn’s Bistro & Martini Bar to celebrate properly!🍸

We open for lunch at 12:00, ready to fill your belly with delicious food and your glass with the star of the show — plus our NEW Chef’s Features might just convince you that staying for dinner is the best decision you’ll make all day. 😏

The gang’s all here, the martinis are ice cold, and you don’t want to miss this one… because FOMO is a tough thing to recover from. 😉

See you soon, Beautiful! 🍸💕💋

Hello Friends!

We’re excited to introduce the NEW Lunch Menu at Kathryn’s Bistro & Martini Bar! ✨

Don’t panic — we didn’t take away your favorites. Think of it as a little nip & tuck… a tweak here, a glow-up there, and a few delicious new surprises added to the mix.

We won’t give everything away (where’s the fun in that?), so you’ll just have to come see — and taste — for yourself. 😉

Sneak peek of today’s Lunch Feature:
🦀 Fried Soft Shell Crab Sandwich
Served with our addictive crispy fries and classic cole slaw — basically everything your lunch dreams are made of.

Now let’s talk priorities:
🍸 Citrus Martini — bright, flirty, and a little dangerous
🍸 Dirty Martini — bold, salty, and not here to behave

We’re open now —
Chrissy’s ready to take care of you, and Charlie’s behind the bar making sure your martini is ice cold and just right.

Come see what’s new… and maybe find your next favorite.
See you soon! 🍸🍴

Happy 1st of May, everyone! 🌸

Traditionally, May 1st—“May Day”—is all about flowers, springtime, and even the unofficial start of summer. But with this 55° weather… we’re thinking Mother Nature missed the memo 🤨 My friend’s daddy said it best: “Don’t put your sweaters away until the end of May!” Wise words, sir.

So instead, let’s celebrate something a little more reliable—Law Day! 🇺🇸 A day to appreciate the rights and freedoms we enjoy… and today, we’re raising a glass to one of our personal favorites: Constitutional Amendment XXI—aka the repeal of Prohibition 🙌 (cheers to whoever made that happen!)

Go ahead—round up your people, cancel your beach plans (you weren’t going anyway 🥶), and come warm up the right way at Kathryn’s 🍸 The martinis are ice cold, the kitchen is hot, and the vibes are exactly what this weird weather ordered.

Raise a glass (or two… we’re not judging 😜) to good decisions, great drinks, and lawmakers who finally listened.

We’ll save you a seat—inside, where it’s warm 😉Lunch at 12 | Dinner at 4

Cheers! 🥂🍸🇺🇸

Weekend status: ON 😌🍸

You survived the week—which means it’s officially time to clock out of responsibility and clock into beach mode. No emails, no alarms, no “I’ll just do one more thing”… absolutely not. Grab your chair, pack that cooler, and romanticize your life a little. Text the group chat… or don’t. This is your main character moment.☀️⛱️🌸

Now let’s fast-forward to the important question: “Where are we going for dinner?”
Easy. Kathryn’s Bistro & Martini Bar. You’re welcome.🍴🍸

Chef’s Features this week are showing off—especially those Soft Shell Crabs (yes, they’re BACK and yes, you need them).🦀

🍸 Now let’s talk priorities—martinis. Cold. Shaken. Perfect. Maybe one… maybe two… we’re not counting 🍸😉

And dessert? Obviously. Try our new Blueberry Lemon Torte. Trust me. You didn’t come this far just to be responsible.😋

Great food. The BEST martinis. Zero stress.🍸😎

Slide into your Saturday the right way—we’ll see you soon 💋🍸

Happy Friday, everyone! ☀️ What a gorgeous day to kick off another spectacular weekend here in Emerald Isle!

And guess what? It’s National Bucket List Day… so naturally, we’re adding a little Kathryn’s twist 😜🍸

Let’s be honest—you’ve thought about it. Working your way through our martini menu like a college kid on spring break chasing that legendary Fat Tuesday t-shirt. Don’t lie… if you know exactly what we mean, drop a comment below 👇

We’ve got around 40 martinis waiting for you, so why not start checking them off your list? No t-shirt at the end… but the bragging rights (and the memories) are definitely worth it, right? 😉

We’re open for lunch, and Todd is already behind the bar shaking things up! 🍸 Nichole’s got you covered with delicious fish tacos and fried flounder, and if you stick around for dinner—Chef Dave and the crew are serving up some incredible specials, including our famous Tempura Soft Shell Crabs 🦀🔥

Trust us… you don’t want to miss those.

We’ll see you soon! 💙🍸
