Jack’s Waterfront Bar opened in September 2008 with the very rewarding, yet hard work of owners Jeff and Keri McCann along with a collective effort of family, friends, local business owners, the town, and a large collection of coolers to hold the cans of beer on ice, carrying on the name of Jeff’s father, Jack McCann.

“We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome and we are so lucky to have the staff that we have,” Keri said, they’ve developed a “pretty cool extended family that has grown over the last years. I’m not sure what I would do without them all. It’s very important to all of us that we keep the integrity of Jack’s and its future to a standard that everyone, including the Town of Morehead City, can be proud of. And, of course, living up to the name and what it stands for.”
