My friend and I went in for a drink in the middle of the afternoonsnd say at the bar. The Barmaid was not friendly at all. Looked like she was in a really bad mood. She Set the drinks down hard and walked away. Won't be back.

We patronize this place often, however while we took some out of town friends there this past Sunday it was crowded. There were only a few tables near the dance floor and there were a group of people occupying the are while playing shuffle board. They were rude towards my wife and made our stay there uncomfortable. Shame on the bar manager for allowing this, as we were there to spend money at the bar and the Shrimp Shack, which is their kitchen out back. We will think long and hard before we go back there.

Great food and atmosphere.
Love this little place. Went last Sunday and it wasn’t busy, but understandable for a Sunday night. We did not try any food because we had already ate. The bartender was wonderful. More people ended up coming in and we danced together.

Food so far as I know is limited exclusively to the Shrimp Shack out on the patio. That food is outstanding! There's a cover over picnic tables and a small stage. Gabe and his "band" was there and excellent! Really enjoyable time.

Can't speak much to the tavern itself, but outside they have "The Shrimp Shack". When we've been there, they had live music. And 2lbs of peel and eat shrimp for $25. Fun atmosphere.

The owner is terrible just sits and drinks with her friends. She is known in the community for screwing people over along with her little group of regulars.

Was there on Thursday someone needs to tell the bartender that there are other customers besides her friends.
This bar needs to be sold to someone who actually cares about their customers and just not her friends. Stay away from the guy with long hair and his wife a couple of drinks. Not a fun place at all !

Use to go there all the time but the locals at this bar think they own the place. Be very careful who you talk to there!

The bar is terrible and the staff is worse! This is a place you go to to hear all the gossip and rumors about people. Peggy the bartender spends more time gossiping then serving drinks - stay away from this place.
