This has.
Been the second time.I have been to this bar. I think it was called something else back then. This place looks renovated, was nice inside. I was there the night Repeat offenders , was there. This band is so amazing.I can't believe I saw them.It was like going to a concert. Getting back to the bar itself, the servers were very nice.The complimentary buffet was so insanely good that I tipped the cook in the kitchen. The food was like going over to his grandma's house, everything was from scratch and so delicious. At the same time, the band was playing.There was karaoke at the tiki bar out back. Everybody was having fun all night.It's such a great little bar.I will be back again, especially when repeat offenders.Is there in December.

The food was not great but that’s what’s expected from a dive bar. However, with that said the bartender was so unfriendly and really made it a terrible experience. It was a mission to get her attention and it was not busy whatsoever. Anytime she was asked for something she gave attitude. Never used any manners. Being a server and bartender I just can’t understand things like this. You would think if you want to make money you would treat people with the slightest bit or respect. The live music was nice and the overall bar crowed had good people. I will never return to this establishment and would not recommend it if you want any service or food. If you’re going for cheap drinks it wasn’t awful. Again the entire experience could’ve been more positive if it weren’t for the bartender sherry.

Great Dive Bar Ruined by an Unprofessional Owner Living nearby My wife and I were excited when we stumbled across this low-key dive bar in South Florida—a true locals’ hangout with charm. It’s rough around the edges, sure, but that’s part of the appeal. Inside, it’s an old-school bar with a pool table, A/C, and live solo acts on some nights. The outside area is like someone’s backyard garage: unfinished, a little beat-up, but welcoming in that “come-as-you-are” kind of way. One major highlight is the bartender/waitress. She’s the heart and soul of this place. Friendly, attentive, busting her tail while the owner lounges at the edge of the bar, drink in hand. Her hustle stood out every time we visited—she remembered our drinks and even found time to chat. A true professional. We’d been twice before and decided to bring friends with us on our third visit for karaoke night. That’s when things took a serious nosedive. The karaoke setup is decent, but the host seemed checked out—barely engaging, quiet, and uninterested. We later learned from the host herself that regulars who tipped were given more chances to sing. Sure enough, we watched some guests perform three or four times while we waited over three hours to go up once. Not a great way to attract or keep new customers. What followed was the real shocker. Our friend’s wife—after a couple of drinks and her usual bubbly self—chatted with the owner. He took her inside to ask her opinion on why nobody was listening to the live entertainment. There were two people inside and over thirty outside, so she honestly told him the music was just too loud. That’s it. A simple, harmless comment. But the owner took it personally and started arguing with her. Her husband went looking for her and ended up in a somewhat heated back-and-forth with the owner. I went looking and found my friend with the owner. I stayed out of it until I realized things weren’t cooling off, so I stepped in to de-escalate. I wasn’t drinking (I was the designated driver) and calmly tried to smooth things over. I even apologized for the comment, explained she was just tipsy and meant no harm, and shared that I’d owned a successful bar with karaoke and live entertainment for 13 years—I understood how tough it is to run one. Despite all that, the owner—clearly intoxicated—kept escalating. He told me eight times, loudly and with increasing aggression, “If you don’t like it, get the f--- out!” He threw around profanity like it was punctuation, and even mocked my friend by plugging his ears, wagging his fingers, and mimicking, “It’s too loud, it’s too loud,” like a schoolyard kid. It was bizarre. And frankly, embarrassing—for him. He also ranted that karaoke singers on the other side “aren’t real entertainment” and called them “garbage” compared to the solo musician inside. Meanwhile, that solo act had only two people listening and wasn’t particularly memorable. I tried to compliment the musician anyway, just to cool things down, but the owner wasn’t interested in anything except being angry. This place had potential. A great vibe, hard-working staff, and a crowd that seemed to be having fun. But when the owner behaves like that—aggressive, unprofessional, and openly hostile to paying guests—it ruins everything. Here’s some free advice, from one former bar owner to another: Don’t ask drunk guests for advice if you can’t handle the answer. If you’re going to drink on the job, be the fun drunk—not the one chasing customers away. A successful bar builds community. That starts with you. Criticism—especially when it’s honest—can be a gift. Learn from it. Sadly, our group of four won’t be back. And like most folks, we’ll share our experience. You had something great here—but until the attitude at the top changes, it’s just another bar with wasted potential.
Always a vibe🤙🏻
