HORRIBLE!! 25th birthday. I left my wallet in the car, my uncle went to go get it for me...the parking lot is right across the street‍ the bartender( a woman) literally YELLED at my nana ...a 72 year old woman. About me having to be outside because she can get a fine...okay I was walking outside no problem I understand. But as I was walking the lady still decided to yell and disrespect my Nana. My nana raised her hand up in defense like i'm sorry we were doing what you asked, the woman bartender said " lady don't raise your hand at me" are you dang kidding?? I was walking outside within the 2 seconds you think an officer is going to stop by(like I said i was walking outside still...I FOLLOW rules) needless to say we went to the bar across the street!!

Great saloon, ideal for people who like pubs. Rustic charm with a nautical twist. Good selection of beer, and two pool tables. The friendly Barman Jeff is worth the visit alone.

Reminded me of the bad boys club in SpongeBob. I loved the doorman, a tough guy but a sweetheart. The mentally ill bartender’s teeth were on the border of falling out and he seemed to hate his life. He got his sweaty fingers in my drinks and served me the wrong ones. I loved it. A down under vibe for sure.

This place rocks great atmosphere and awesome drinks and service from one bartender to another thanks Jeff for making the time worth while.
