“Great lunch today at Antigua! Our server Kara was so sweet, and we were so pumped for the guac she brought us! My pineapple margarita was delish. GIANT stuffed chicken quesadilla. Only negative is it's quite small so there wasn't really a table to fit 6 of us, but Kara made it work!“

“Delicious lunch after fun filled day on farm“

“Went with the Hubby on a Saturday date and had a great time! The other customers were friendly and we ended up chatting with half the bar before the night was through. 1 pool table but everyone was super chill taking turns to play. Bathroom was clean. Bartender was very attentive. Looking forward to going back!“

“Great place! Our party of 5 bellied up to the bar and had a great time. Jim our server and Scott the bartender made some great recommendations on drinks and apps. Watermelon margarita was the best one in the flight we had. The Tequilla Old Fashion was fantastic! Definitely made new friends and will be back often“

“The Spring Beach Inn is the perfect little hole-in-the-wall gem! From the moment we walked in, the friendly vibes were unbeatable. The bartender, who we later learned was the owner’s daughter, was incredibly welcoming and attentive. The owner himself was sitting at the bar—a charming older gentleman with a knack for cracking funny jokes that had the whole place laughing.

The patrons were just as warm and inviting, making us feel right at home. They even gave us a free shot of Malört to celebrate our first visit—such a fun and unique touch! Plus, the free popcorn was not only delicious but added to the cozy, laid-back atmosphere.

The Spring Beach Inn feels like one of those special places where everyone knows your name (or will soon). We can’t wait to come back!“

“Shits and giggles all day!“

“The best Corned Beef around. Stopped in for a sandwich and all I can say is WOW! Added the homemade coleslaw and it was amazing! Great Views of the river abd sun was shining on the beautiful stained glass window accents. Service was great! Price was fair and we will return!“

“I walked into this joint with a bunch of metal heads and it felt like that moment in Tombstone when they walked into the saloon and everyone stopped and looked at them. We had fun on the gambling games and that staff was fast and friendly.“

“Biker bar very quiet and friendly people“

“They have a pool table!!!! But can you move it in, just a bit. The poolstick hits the glass too much.Anyway their oven was not working so couldn't try the pizza, but they sold snacks. The drinks are basic but not bad. I don't mind cranberry vodka.Really cheap drinks. Amazing service and cool quiet chill atsmophere.I want to come back and play more billiards.“

“Love this place! Maggie is awesome, always knows what we drink soon as we walk in. Everyone there made us feel welcome. We enjoy shooting pool and had been looking for a good place in the area close to the house..This place is perfect! Definitely our favorite place ?“

“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.“

“Great place to buy liquor, and beer. They also have a full service bar,the entire staff is very friendly and professional.Not to mention the people who patronize are also very polite and friendly. It's a must stop, if you haven't been there The owner is also very knowledgable about wines, ect“

“Another iconic place that has been there forever...It use to be a pretty rough establishment back in the day. But, hey we're old schoolers and born & raised locals from here. The majority of us go there. We all grew up together or attended school in the area and know each other. Great place to get a brew or mix drink, and reminisce. Lots of old faces in here. If your from here or seeking info about our town... Then you know where to hang out at. Restrooms, Karaoke, Jukebox, Full Service Bar, Pizza and Chips, Dartboards and plenty of seating available. Always something happening. Smoking allowed in front or back areas. We're all friendly folks in here. Stop in for one or more. Welcome to our neighborhood. Fri & Sat. Nights are quite busy. See ya soon. A+.“

“This was my brother and our friends home away from back in early nineties ! Jill and Tom were get. Came back in last weekend, so many memories, great times! Same old bartender was there OMG! Was sad not to see Tom or Jill there. Wasn't thrilled with a drunk young customer that kept going behind the bar and making her own drinks. Just kept thinking Tom and Jill will never have a loud that back in the day. We did have a great time!!! It was like the old days again. SHOCKED no Tom but you can play pool ? that wasn't aloud back in the day. Great times , Great place!

Parking: Can park behind the bar“
