Always a great time. All the bartenders are awesome people, which makes it that much better. Beer is cold, served promptly, music is genuinely pretty good. Definitely a good place to enjoy a

The duck is a good place to stop and have a few beers with friends. Many beers on tap but the atmosphere is a typical dive bar. The bathrooms smell horrible and are very run down. This place is what it is.

A bar is only as good as its staff and the staff at the Salty Duck deserves a 10 outta 10. The atmosphere gets a 10 outta 10 too. We went to the salty duck while at the beach for a bachelorette weekend and immediately upon walking in it was obvious we were the odd "ducks" out in a bar full of locals. We all questioned our decision worried that it would not be the greatest experience. I'm glad we stayed because it was the best experience. Matt, DJ, and John were fantastic bartenders who made the evening so much fun. The doorman was helpful and super nice. The music was perfect and fit the vibe. The beer was cold and with a great selection you can't go wrong. I will definitely go back when visiting the area. Easily the best bar I've been to in a long time. Went for the drinks and stayed for the people.

As a long time local, I wanted to share with my family visiting from England a local bar. I have always come to the Salty Duck. However, last night was disappointing. We were a party of 7, decided to order some drinks and we were inquiring to the bartender (male with curly hair). His response was LITERALLY "Uhh, this is going to take forever." Um, excuse me???!! We had been ordering drinks for less than 2mins, not even lying. Isn't this your job....your job all night....to serve drinks?Then on top of it, there was nothing but screamo (and I mean hardcore screamo) playing the entire time. The atmosphere was trash.This was not the Salty Duck I've come to for over a decade. I actually left quite embarrassed as I hyped Salty Duck up so much throughout the day.I miss the vibe of Salty Duck with a bartender that was welcoming and happy to serve you and share with you the local beers etc. I use to sit in there for hours and hours having the best time. Such a shame.
