About Mainstay and Barnacles Bar

Mainstay and Barnacles Bar is a top spot for boaters and islanders on North Cap, offering amazing drinks like the "tipsy dolphin" and the best bloody mary's. The beachy atmosphere, great music, and exceptional staff add to the experience. The location, where you can dock your boat and enjoy drinks and food, along with friendly staff, contributes to its 5-star rating. Recently, the place put in new boat slips, making it even easier for visitors arriving by boat. Customers appreciate the friendly service, excellent food and drinks, and the beautiful surroundings. Guests often walk up to the bar to order drinks and start a tab, then sit at tables for lunch. While some mention a service fee added to the bill—which can be mistaken for a tip—most find the overall experience enjoyable. The drinks are cold, and the atmosphere is pleasurable, though some note the presence of flies outdoors can be a nuisance. Visitors recommend being attentive to the check for automatic gratuities, especially for larger groups. Overall, it remains a favorite spot to support while enjoying a great meal or drinks.
