Terrible experience. After waiting for nearly 30 minutes for our drinks, my 10-year old son’s mocktail was served with alcohol. Staff is dazed and confused. Never made it to the food because we walked out after they served alcohol to a minor.
Edit: Improved to 2 stars because the owner reached out to me and took this situation seriously.

I will not be coming back. The guys checking IDs at the door are extremely rude for no reason whatsoever.
The place is very dirty and makes you wonder how safe it is to drink and eat there.

This place used to be the place to go- not anymore- don't go. I'm a professional vibe reader, and the vibe at salty was NOT IT these past few weekends i've been. Don't know what changed or happened

I really wanted to like this place, but the food was a letdown. It feels like they rely on the steady flow of tourists rather than putting real care into what they serve. I ordered the wings — moist but tasteless, completely forgettable. And the ranch? Watery and bland, like an afterthought from the lowest bidder. For a spot in such a great location, it’s a shame they don’t try harder.

Was pleasant enough as we went to watch a baseball game. Service was prompt, food was delivered quickly, and there were plenty of beverages available. Monterey Lager and several cocktails were consumed.

This is where the locals go! Has a neat courtyard area..the front part is like a pool hall/bar vibe. The band was great! This bar almost seems like 2 different places in one so if the front part isn't your vibe keep going down the hall!

Fish and chips were good (but huge) for around $25. Service was slow despite it being nearly empty. I liked the cozy booths but it didn't really have a warm atmosphere.

One of the worst burgers I’ve ever had. No effort was put on to it bacon was burnt to a crisp patty was also burnt as well. Bathrooms are also terrible. For a $24 burger I definitely would expect more. Much better spots in the area trust me! I also heard they have new ownership so that might play a role in this

Great place. With the new ownership this might be my favorite place to watch the games and enjoy a beer! Highly recommend!

Food was sloppy and took them 45 minutes to service me and my friends making us late for our bus to get home.

Cool vibes. You can shoot pool or throw darts in the front bar area. They had the football game on the large screen TVs. In the back was open seating for food and drinks. Pool cost $2 a game. They had a good beer selection. I their red and my wife got a pilsner.

Love the live events. They are egregiously understaffed making it an awful experience. Does not fall on the servers but a core fault in the managment of the business. Waited about 40 minutes in line only for them to say come remind me if I forget your food. Big surprise took another 50 minutes to get my food after what I wanted(was on the menu) “is no longer served”. Sounds like it was much better run…previously.
Went there for drinks and had a great time, they have foosball darts and pool, all in pretty decent state and very playable. Plenty of draught beer options, it’s 11$ for a pint.
Shoutout to the bartender who, on his own, managed to be on top of everything
