The energy, the attention to detail, and the way everything is run makes every visit feel like an experience, not just a place to go.

“Broken Oar is always a great time, especially on a summer Saturday afternoon. The atmosphere is lively, the crowd is fun, and the staff is consistently friendly and attentive.

We came by boat just to grab a few drinks and appetizers. Everything was good, but the churro fries were the standout of the day—absolutely worth ordering and highly recommended.

My only complaint is the docking situation. Getting from the docks to the restaurant requires walking through muddy, sandy terrain, which isn't ideal. More importantly, the docks sit very high above the water, and the exposed metal underneath ended up scratching our boat. If you have a typical recreational boat, I'd honestly think twice about arriving by water, as there's a real risk of cosmetic damage.

Despite that, the food, drinks, service, and overall atmosphere keep us coming back. We'll definitely be back—just probably by car next time.“

“Pretty good place and service is wonderful.“

“well, first of all I just went there tonight for about 40 minutes and found out heather no longer works there she kept that place spotless you know she was great I thought and she made sure I got walked home if I needed one doesn’t really nice lady heather is I’m sorry to see her gone she was always waiting on the customers instead of talking to him and ignoring the customers wanting to get a drink, but I’m gonna miss her but is it cool kind of a bar if you like nostalgia they got lava lamps. They got board games they’re like trivial pursuit Jenga they got machines real good ones good paying ones I just wish heather would be back, but the prices are good they have karaoke and I believe live bands, too big bar in the back pool tables and right right in the square it’s a good walk for some. It’s an easy walk for me. I’ve never seen a fight in there not once everybody seems to know each other in there. It’s really nice but it’s hippie days are here again which is kind of cool. Try it you might like it.“

“Best bar pizza in town, loaded with toppings and cooked to perfection! Always a great time due to the great environment.“

“It was a wonderful time with family. We ate outdoors and the atmosphere was amazing. Monty served us and he was attentive and friendly. The food was outstanding. It was Saturday so there was piano bar music. The door was opened so we could hear. Overall an excellent evening.“
