Today I went here for my birthday. I have a St. Patrick's Day birthday. Came from out of town and googled a location that was celebrating. Upon arriving no one was at the door. Went inside. Sat at a table. No one greeted us. This guy with a security shirt comes to our table after 10 mins to check IDs. I tell him I would like to order food gives my friend and I a menu then says if you want anything go up to the bar and order the food and drinks. As the bar is packed. And the location has at least 30 tables between inside and outside. So I'm confused why there are no servers. We end up ordering an uber and heading back to our hotel who has a restaurant and service was 1000% better where we should went from the start. Security shirt guy short, Caucasian was not friendly and was behind the bar. As someone who work at a Security Private School and BSIS approve security guards are not to be employed as bartenders and security guards.

As a couple visiting from Colorado, we couldn’t have found a better local gem than Northside Tavern. From the moment we stepped in, we were welcomed like old friends, and a huge shoutout goes to Sabrina, the incredible bartender who made our night! She was not only super friendly and attentive but also had great recommendations and made us feel like true locals.

We came to this bar 10+ years ago and came again today! It's definitely the same but different, not in a bad way. It felt so good to be back!!

Loved the environment, the staff kept your whistle wet and the food is excellent at an excellent value. Also very close to the beach :) I starred this on my maps because I plan on coming back.
Update December 29, 2024:
The building looks a little different but pretty much all still the same My wife and I did thou renewals on the beach just to the west here in 2015. It's nice coming back and reminiscing about that day. Food and service is still the same.

45 minutes and we are still waiting for our food to arrive. Only one server, and he is also the bartender. Don't come on a Monday apparently. Disappointed.
