It's a great dive bar. As a bartender from a land far away in the western lands of Colorado.. this place made me feel at home. If you don't like your drinks strong or served with some sass, stay around the pier and expect paying 3X the price for a fake smile and the same shot. Personally, I tip good for strong drinks and service that's direct. Best bar in Old Orchard.

I’ve had 2 bad experiences now at this bar both times we’ve gone. The first time they were playing slow depressing country music but we stayed and endured through it. We were running a bar tab and toward the end of the evening I tried to pay. I was literally trying to flag the bartender down who would look at me and then serve a male customer (I am female) who approached the bar way after me. She was laughing and flirting. I went to the other end of the bar thinking she couldn’t ignore me because she virtually had to walk past me. This kept happening! I couldn’t believe it! I had to have my husband go in to pay the tab and he sure got served. What the??? We decided to still go a second time. This time was WORSE. It was still pretty early in the evening and the bar wasn’t busy. They were still playing the super depressing slow country music and we wanted to have fun and play more upbeat music. We were buying drinks, tipping well and PAID for music from the Touch tunes. It was more modern dance music and we were enjoying it. Suddenly the music stopped in the middle of our song and there was silence. No music was played until our music in the queue was over. We sat in silence and then the same old (were talking 70s-80s) old country music came back on. We couldn’t believe that because we actually had PAID FOR THAT MUSIC! We were shocked. I had to contact Touch tunes to get a refund because the Whaler had stolen money from us in doing this. If you want to have a good upbeat time this bar is definitely not the place for you. I will never go back. The bloody Mary’s didn’t even taste good either- flat and bland. We will not be returning here.

This is a local's bar. No food to eat except for little bags of chips. Drinks were good and Jello shots were yummy. We had fun just listening to the other customers and chatting with people. They are one of the only places to stay open late right now.

My boyfriend was drugged at this bar and when he went back at a later date and told the bartender the bartender called him a liar and told him not to come back. The bartender was drinking and then followed him outside and continued screaming at him.
