I was there this past Sat night as it was the place chosen for my best friends surprise engagement, on the beach. I had the unfortunate experience of an extremely rude bartender and her rude comment was the only time me and the bride to be were acknowledged after waiting patiently for over 15 mins at the bar. She helped people she knew and others around me. I was in line with others who were complaining service was poor. And a girl came up behind me asked has I been waiting because she couldn’t get service at the end of the bar either. So, me and my friend split up to stand in two different spots at the bar, the girl behind me get served and over the loud bar I said to the bartender “we’ve been waiting” and do I get an apology or “how can help you?” No, the rude bartender in the blue and white pinstripe shirt, that looked like a tent, says “don’t yell at me” are you kidding me? This place was a joke. I was trying to order for 10 of us!! So, after the wait and then the rudeness all 10 of us went on with the proposal plans and went elsewhere to celebrate and spend our money! Don’t worry, we are all leaving our reviews on IG, Facebook, snap chat, twitter, and tik tok!! Not to mention we’ve made sure to share this story with everyone we’ve run into that also regularly visits tawas. We won’t ever come to this bar ever again!

I believe this place used to be a small tiki hut behind the holiday inn sometime in 80's or 90's they built a more permanent foundation and of course expanded it ... after it closes u can enjoy songs around a fire on the beach meet ppl from all over the place and share stories ... my grandmother introduced me to this area over 40 yrs
Come for the atmosphere and maybe the drinks, but don't come for the food! The food falls on the bland side of good and a tad over priced, and kitchen closes early. Live music was good. Website doesn't show menu or list of (2023) live entertainment, so that could use an update also.Visited twice during our stay and was unimpressed with the service both times. When I gotta wait 15+ minutes for a refill I'm just going to cash out and go elsewhere!

Great spot for drinks on the beach Service was good and so were the drinks!Food... not so much. The waffle fries are really food. The fish tacos were bland, fish was kinda mushy and slaw nearly invisible. The chicken sandwich was a frozen breast warmed up and slapped on a tasteless, white bun with one piece of iceberg lettuce and a slice of an unripe tomato. Coconut shrimp were cooked well, but had a weird "chemical" smell to them.So, go for the location, drinks, and waffle fries. If you want a good meal, go elsewhere.

I can't rate the food because I never got any. We sat down at an empty table and two servers walked by us a total of 5 times. Made eye contact but never came over. I even waved at the one she looked away. I had a bad experience the last time I was there. We came by boat so decided to try it again and got what we got I'm afraid. After a day on the water a beer and some food sounded great. And that's what we had but not at this place! Afte 20 minutes we got up and left.

We sat in there in a table waiting for 20 minutes and all we got for service was the supposed to be waiter took all of condiments saying I’ll be back to not return.
Order lunch it took over two hours to get taco’s. Server was friendly but kitchen is completely unorganized. Will never order food here again!

Where to begin. Waitress left multiple times for long periods of time, and didn’t refill our water the entire time.Food was below average. $13 for a small basket of frozen french fries. Do not go here if you don’t have to.
