This place is great! Friendly easy going staff, a secluded patio to enjoy, pool room, fair prices, and good music! Short walk from the Pier. Great location. If the kitchen isn’t currently open Nickies 1971 right across the street has great food also a great staff!

In town for a wedding and my mom and I were trying to find a place with cold beers and hometown vibes. Found it. I couldn't have been happier, the bartender was on his shit, plus he had the coolest Bob Ross shirt. Security/bar back was a great, awesome personality with patrons and guests which goes a long way in service. Found the bar I'll be getting my ice-cold highlifes from for the rest of my trip. Felt like my neighborhood bar back home 10/10.
