They have heaters and fans outside as well. Nice variety of alcohol & cigars. They'll cut, poke, punch, etc. your cigar for you and light it. They also have shirts and other items to buy. I purchased a cute V-neck shirt my first time. The bartenders are excellent. They recommended drinks & offered to open a tab. I believe one is named Tyler. He was very nice. They cut and stored our cigars that we didn't finish in a ziplock for us. The cigar attendant assisted in selecting a cigar. Nice variety from beginners (light cigar) to advanced smokers who prefer something flavorful & stronger. The bathrooms were clean. They have 2.

We ended up at the Salty Siren for two reasons, one, it was recommended by one of the guides at the Henricus Historical Park as being near the Farrar's Island historical marker (ancestors) and it was on the river. The view was gorgeous. We were promptly seated at an outdoor table overlooking the water. Our server, Jodi H., greeted us with a smile and offered to get our drinks and our calamari appetizer. It was excellent. Light, crispy, fresh with a few fried jalapeños for zing. The dip served with them was really good. I ordered fried oysters, which came with authentic hush puppies (which for this southerner means no sugar!) and I ordered the vegetable of the day (steamed broccoli) to sort of make up for the "fried". My husband ordered the grilled salmon. His salad was huge and the vegetables were so fresh that I filched some of his cucumbers. His salmon was amazing. It was perfectly cooked and it was so moist and tender. We will try to return if we are ever travelling this way again. Try The Salty Siren. Even if you don't go looking for the mile maker afterwards.

I was at the owners were there so have some time I have a conversation with them and they were super nice and friendly.

You may see some grass students or whatever the case may be, but you wouldn't find a bunch of 19-year-olds piled up in this kind of spot. It used to be small apparently but they expanded it out to a back room and an attic kind of situation. It seems like a attic kickback kind of spot. Really homish or something you will find in a living room. It made it on the top list of speakeasies on Yelp so I had to check it out while I was in the area. I would 100% recommend.
