I really like this place for a late night bar. The drinks are the right strength, service is fast, covered outdoor smoking area, 8 machine lottery area. I just wish it wasn't karaoke every night.

Andi was lovely. I am a very picky person when it comes to the drinks I like. I let her create four mystery drinks for me, trusted her and she delivered. I asked her if she runs or owns the place because she was so wonderful

Great place to hang out with friends and meet new ones. Kareoke is a constant jere which is soo unique. Andi (bartender) was very personable and super knowledgeable in her craft! We really appreciated her drink recommendations.

Absolutely disappointed.
My best friend and I have always loved Windjammers. It’s been our go-to spot when we want to grab a drink and enjoy a mellow night out. The vibe has consistently been great—until this past Saturday, when the experience was so horrible it left us questioning if we’ll ever return.
The bartender that night, an older woman with glasses, was not only rude but straight-up disrespectful. From the moment my best friend (who is always polite and respectful) asked for cherries in his drink, her attitude shifted. The way she looked at him—full of judgment and disgust—was beyond unprofessional. It felt personal, and frankly, homophobic. Every interaction after that was laced with passive aggression and eye-rolls.
He ordered one drink on his card, I ordered mine separately. When he later asked for a food menu (we were sitting at the bar and had never ordered food there before), she didn’t even speak—just pointed vaguely at a table behind us. When we finally got her attention again to order food, she took his card and snipped, “Is that it? Are you sure? Because to keep closing out a tab is a lot of work for us.” He had ONE drink. That’s it. It felt like we were being treated as a burden just for existing.
At that point, I told him absolutely not—we are not supporting a place that treats their guests this way. He asked to cancel the transaction and get his card back (she hadn’t even walked to the POS yet), and we left to support another local spot that actually respects its patrons.
The only reason this review isn’t one star is because of the bubbly bartender with the curly hair—she’s always a delight. Maybe management should reconsider who they’re scheduling on busy weekend nights. If that kind of energy was directed at the girls openly vaping at the bar instead of people just trying to enjoy a peaceful evening, maybe the hostility would be more justified.
Thank you for completely ruining a place we used to genuinely enjoy. We won’t be back anytime soon.

The bartenders here are always awesome – totally chill and on their A-game. However, the last few times I've gone, the KJ has had no charisma, which is whatever. Last night's KJ was notably bad. He had no charisma and was in a bad mood. He even snapped at my wife, who was our sober driver, and skipped people in our group for others who had already sung when we hadn't yet. One person in our group tried to tip him to get their song moved up in line, and he refused that as well. Salem needs private room karaoke.

Come for the karaoke 🎤 and enjoy the food. Best pattymelt I've ever tasted.

My favorite place to have drinks sing karaoke and play some lottery 🙂👌

I recently moved back to this side of town and windjammers has become a place that I’m so happy to be apart of. From the drinks to the food to the people. But most of all the staff. Tonight I ended my birthday celebration down here. It was SLAMMED. And there was never a wait. Never a dull moment. And tonight. ANDY. ROCKED the entire night. I am so thankful that I get to call this lovely place my place. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰. I adore all of the staff. Each and everyone of you. And the patrons. I appreciate the no drama atmosphere. 10/10. LOVE. 💜

Food and service here is amazing! I love having a quaint and fairly quiet neighborhood bar with stellar service! Steve & Shoshauna are by far the best bartenders!
Idk they don't do last call and they close whenever they want even when ample people are there. Karaoke sucks when there's a kj bc it's the same person over and over
