Nice local themed tropical dive bar. There is a semi-outdoor smoke friendly section, a billiards room and a dark, dingy indoor bar.
The semi-outdoor room has the most character and is frequented by the geriatric crowd, who are friendly, if not loquacious.
The indoor bar is old school and dark
stimulates self-reflection:"how did I get here?" "Where did I go wrong?"
I enjoy a good cigar and cold beer without worrying about offending the hypersensitive, confrontational non smoking types.
The seafood chowder is the past pluperfect superlative of chowder.
But the caveat is there is zero food served after 3:00 pm, which really blows. You can call ahead and ask them to reserve you some in the fridge.
I'll be back here next time I'm in town. -

Loved this place found it by accident will be back on purpose. I had perhaps the best seafood chowder I've ever had. It was seafood in every bite. They don't have it all the time so call ahead. Not an extensive food menu but something for everyone. Great craft beer list and what seems like a place that has its regulars and tourists alike. More next time I have the pleasure of eating there again.

This is a fun local bar with a salty clientele. The interior is decorated with hundreds of collectable beer cans, signs, and memorabilia.
They offer a full liquor selection with many draft beers. They have pool tables, a shuffle board table, and an outside bar/patio.
I found the drink prices are reasonable as well as the food menu. Having only cocktails on this visit I will review the food on another visit.
I like this place because the inside bar is dark, the drinks are good, the staff are friendly, and the locals welcoming.
On my first visit, Shorty introduced herself and was super nice. -

Hands down one of the best karaoke shows! Dennis the DJ has great DJ equipment, works the crowd and is fair. I love the 1:30 Sunday show, as does my husband :)
