Where the Mountains Meet the Spirit of the Carolina Coast

Located on Burnsville’s Town Square, Snap Dragon Bar & Kitchen is an established bar and American restaurant with a maritime story rooted in local history. Its nautical theme honors Burnsville’s namesake, Captain Otway Burns, and his ship, Snap Dragon, recognizing his heroic efforts during the War of 1812.
