Great atmosphere! Live music, great bar! Food is also delicious. Love this place! Such a cool vibe in a cute beach town.

Creepy Place.I saw this place while driving down PCH. It looked mellow, so my date and I went in. Immediately, a guy who was moving tables and chairs around began giving my date some inappropriate compliments. And, the dude was a creep about it. The margaritas were weak, to boot.

You will be very surprised that this place has crab legs at the same price and quality of Captain Jacks which is up the street and not easy to get a table at. My order was take out due to some unique circumstances of the evening but I'm so glad I found this secret because it was surprisingly delicious and affordable. You want great crab legs then King Neptune's has you covered!

We love everything about this family owned restaurant/bar. Like the show "Cheers" where the locals hang and everyone knows your name. We go often and never had a bad meal. Don't forget to add the fried zucchini!

Horrible service at this bar. Went to see a band with a bunch of friends to have dinner and drinks. Kitchen closed early so they said no food. Also, the owner Juan took me aside and said a waitress told him last time I was there that I ordered a filet minon and left before it was served. Never happened ....I actually would tell my friends to go there and support this restaurant/bar No more. Better places for food, drinks and music. Oh....the joke is Juan is up for "Bar Tender of the Year"......who is voting for him? Not me... Don't like people that accuse me of things I didnt do when I spend my $$$ at their busniess.. Would be zero star but had to add one to post..

Great little place. Came here with a large group of people for a quick beverage. The bartender was friendly and fast. They had multiple football games on their televisions. I didn't realize that they sold food until I saw the questions that Google Maps was asking me, so I cannot comment on their offerings. They even have a little stage set up for live music. I'll definitely come back one day and spend a little more time here.

King crab legs. That's all you need to remember when you come here. You'd never guess that this hole-in-the-wall bar would have the biggest, most delicious king crab legs you could ever imagine! It's about $100 per leg (I believe it's about a pound), but so worth it! If you're ever in the area, you need to stop in this hidden gem. You'll be glad you did.

Great spot! Good live music! One thing that sets this place apart from other similar establishments is that they have some high-end burbon. You need to know what to ask for, because Juan prefers to serve the premium stuff to customers that can appreciate it.

I was part of the band, But I still got the same service, food, drinks and personality from the owner to employees that the customers got.Vegetarian options: One of the singers in the band is vegan. I saw her eating from a good sized plate. If there was even a small problem, we would have been told. I heard nothing bad.Parking: Parking lot is small, but there is street parking and beach parking lots. Normally the parking is fine, but can get interesting on occasion.Kid-friendliness: Kids apear to be welcome. Though all I've seen were an occasional child, the staff was attentive and one even danced with a toddler. Soo, cute.Wheelchair accessibility: Both front and rear doors have ramps. The rear door is narrow so a wider chair won't get through, but the front door should be accommodating.

Without a doubt, the best tasting king crab legs we have ever had. They are pricey, but crab legs are pricey everywhere. Service is remarkably awesome in this dive bar. Even when it is packed and it often is. Don't dress up, just show up.

We've turned into Led Zeppelin cover band groupies and found out Led Zeppelive was playing on a Saturday afternoon at this dive bar. They were also celebrating a bar fly's birthday so the regulars packed the old school bar. The stage is small but it was enough room for the band to perform. The beer bucket of 5 beers for 20 bucks is a great deal and the food was pretty good. My friend gave the clam chowder a thumbs up.

Was craving king crab legs so we decided to try King Neptunes. I ordered 1lb of crab legs with green salad and rice pilaf, my husband ordered fish & chips with green salad & clam chowder. We each had a glass of wine which was a generous pour. Each of our meals came also came with steamed carrots, broccoli & zucchini. My meal came out with French fries but our server quickly brought a plate of rice pilaf when I mentioned I had ordered the rice, my meal was excellent. My husband said his fish was okay but tasted frozen not fresh. Our servers were friendly and attentive. The restaurant is old but clean and most of it is a bar with sports playing on multiple TV screens.
