Coyote bar is known locally for the live music on the patio almost every night of the week. It is nice to see all the entertainment. The food is good, not great, but good. Beware, if you are there during live music, there are $ minimums you're spending per person. When the weather is nice, the patio is great for seating. But if you don't get there early, you won't get a seat.
Service is very friendly, but typical of a bar setting. You will have to chase down drinks now and then.
Overall, it is a very fun, energetic atmosphere with live music!

Go here if you’d like to have a disappointing night. Spend money here and they’ll kick you out for no reason. The tallest white security guard chooses who he doesn’t like. I’ll never return and I’ve spent probably 2k over a couple months at that place.

In the last few years the food portions are very small and the drinks are watered down. The prices have doubled and although the music is great, there are too many drifters allowed to wander in and enjoy the entertainment without buying anything. I don't enjoy paying $30 a head for someone else to enjoy free music.
I'm a 30 year patron and I'm very disappointed.

Got a dish that has shrimp and fish in a cream sauce. It was good except the fish tasted funny. It is a bit pricey so I wish the service was a little better. But it's always a good vibe outside where the music is. Lobster bisque is great!

My expectations for a waterfront grill! Were totally disappointing!
The chicken bowl I order, was not appetizing at all.

It tasted like someone just open one of their old burritos and placed on a dinner bowl with extra sauce n served it.

Literally a huge negative experience.

Service was very pleasant.

Won't go back. !!!

(Nov 2024 update: great live music, fun crowd)

(Aug 16, 2023 update: another great band, Xsyndicate on a Wednesday. Food was reply good this time and great service.)

Covid is over and outdoor live music back. Great bands nightly with lots of pretty people dancing.

Food is ok...nothing special. Not bad, just not over the top.

Always busy, but staff were accommodating and friendly. Gets so busy and if you're not really early, hard to find outdoor seating. Can't hear live music if you're inside.
