In warmer weather, there's nothing better than enjoying a meal surrounded by plants and flowers at an outdoor café in North Carolina.

For a truly unique experience, head to Snap Dragon Bar & Kitchen, a nautically themed gastropub in Burnsville that honors the legacy of Capt. Otway Burns, a U.S. Navy hero during the War of 1812.

Snap Dragon offers an inviting patio perfect for a well-deserved meal with a refreshing view. Start your visit with the mouthwatering Cannon Balls, made from Penland Farms' ground pork, rolled into succulent meatballs, and glazed with a house-made sweet and sour sauce.

The gastropub opens its doors at 3 p.m., and the atmosphere is enhanced by a garage door that opens into the beautiful outdoor space. Inside, the maritime décor adds a touch of history and charm.

Don’t miss out on the signature cocktails crafted with house-made mixes and fresh juices. The Royal Navy Painkiller, a tropical mix of Pusser's Rum, Cream of Coconut, pineapple juice, orange juice, and fresh nutmeg, is a must-try.

If you're in the mood for something heartier, the Spicy Island Burger, topped with grilled pineapple, habanero-jack cheese, fried avocado, and bacon, is a delicious choice.

As the evening sets in, enjoy the ambiance under the glow of elegant lights on the patio. Snap Dragon’s charm makes it one of the prettiest places to enjoy a warm afternoon in North Carolina.
