“It was a great positive experience and true local hidden gem! Come say hi to the owner Ann, tell her I sent you.“

“You have to go at least once. I like the staff and the bar is close to the water with good outdoor seating available. They have bar food but have a good dinner as well. During the warmer months, they had outdoor music on Sunday's, but the owner was talking about getting some full-time entrainment at some point.

Parking: Parking can be tough at times

Kid-friendliness: Kids are allowed, just not at the bar.“

This is due to all the regulars. As soon as you walk in the door everyone welcomes you with open arms and treats you as family. I highly recommend going here for a drink or two. I promise you'll love the atmosphere, the people and especially the bartenders.“
