The Kraken or Crackin' or Kray-kan is quite the pleasure shanty. This place is a local spot that is so fun one must return. It’s a cross between biker bar and pirate saloon and the drinks will put hair on your chest even if you have just waxed it. There is a water experience in the back which is cool and very deck-y which we like for things like live music or playing darts. The Kraken is not to be missed no matter how many different ways people tell us to say this word....

Nice for a dive bar. Lots of space. Three pool tables. Common drinks. Both beer and liquor. Live music some days. Juke box. The crowd is sometimes older and regulars, more often though it's younger. No, there is no food.

In the area on vacation, what a great spot! Super chill, nice people a great way to slow the pace of the day down. This place will be my go-to every time I’m in this area. I wish we had one of these where I live… I’d be there often. They don’t make them like this anymore. Old school is the best school!
