The Kraken is a lively spot with friendly crowds, live music on weekends, and a fun atmosphere. It’s a popular choice for those in their 40s-50s and has a mix of both older regulars and younger visitors. The place feels like a cross between a biker bar and pirate saloon, creating a deck-y, cool vibe. There is a water experience in the back, perfect for enjoying live music or playing darts. While they don't serve food, visitors can bring their own or enjoy playing pool for a small fee. The bar has three pool tables, a jukebox, and offers common drinks including beer and liquor. The music ranges from rock to love songs, and there's even a dance floor. The bartender Vinny has received praise for excellent service, making it a dive bar worth visiting. The Kraken is not to be missed, especially for those looking for a fun, casual night out.
