The service was excellent and the interior and vibes are awesome. Now lets get to this self proclaimed world famous bloody mary that this establishment boldly prints on the huge sign outside. Their bloody mary is pathetic. When you loudly claim to have a world famous of anything I expect a certain level of quality. This drink failed on every single level. It's so bad I felt like I was scammed. It had zero fixins, came in a small cup and tasted aggressively mediocre. Be warned, DO NOT GET THE WORLD FAMOUS BLOODY MARY.

The outdoor is very nice, live band, lots of chairs and a nice view of the water with a nice pier. We ordered michelobs $4 each. Not too bad.

I've never noticed this place before, but now I won't ever forget it. Such a nice experience.

To call Eddie's Place a dive bar doesn't quite do it justice. That makes it sound like some…read moredecrepit old watering hole that gave up on itself years ago, and that's not the case here. Eddie's, established in the early 70s, feels more like a career criminal who found religion, just got out, and now swears he's trying to get his life together. Would a true dive keep a decades-old black-and-white tube TV around so you can watch your car? Additional amenities include an ATM, a combination photo booth/jukebox, and even a cell phone charging station, which means Eddie somehow supports bad decisions and the evidence they leave behind. This isn't Eddie's Bistro or Eddie's Café, it's just his Place, so don't show up expecting anyone to cook for you. Aside from chips, the bar skips food altogether. Still, Eddie's plays to its strengths: it encourages you to bring your own food or order in, as long as you keep the bartenders busy. "Cocktails" arrive in ribbed plastic cups, but shots and beer arrive in proper glassware, which is this bar's version of caviar service. A free pool table anchors the room, while one corner hosts beer pong and another area for old-timers to throw darts. Drinks run from $6 to $12, and Happy Hour sweetens the deal with 2-for-1 wells until 8 p.m. That special feels a little sad Monday through Wednesday, when the bar opens at 7 PM. However, it absolutely slaps Thursday through Sunday, when doors open at 2 PM. I rolled in after The Mandalorian & Grogu, which is exactly the kind of demoralizing movie that demands a drink. It was Goth Night, although the DJ seemed to be the only person who got the memo. She kept the room moving with dark house and classic goth tracks, giving the Place the energy of a house party with a fog machine and a hit-heavy playlist. Eventually, she veered from Bauhaus and Combichrist into Bruno Mars and Calvin Harris, which felt less like genre betrayal and more like a Wedding DJ loosening their tie. Eddie's Place delivers the holy trinity of a proper neighborhood bar: cheap booze, zero pretension, and just enough chaos to make you stay for one last round over and over again.

What I can tell you is that the bartenders are friendly and the atmosphere is relaxed. You can smoke at the bar. Inside. Yes, it's true! I was surprised there is still a place that permits indoor smoking. I'm not mad about it - I smoke too so it doesn't bother me. In all of my visits, I can never remember ordering food at JJ's, so I can't comment on that. There's a pool table and a vending machine that sells lottery tickets for $1.00. Neat! The seating is only around the bar and for a small place, there seemed to be plenty of room for everyone. Even though we're not locals or regulars, we are never disappointed with a visit to JJ's Dog House. Thanks!

We visit it from time to time for some pool and to have some of the dishes we had on our first date. We love their pizza and wings. Everything is super flavorful, well seasoned. Never too salty. They also used to serve tots which I remember being great but I'm pretty certain are no longer served. The only reason I give it a 4 is because of the cigarette smell. Other than that it's a great place to chill and play pool. Actually one of the only places you can find where you just pay $1 or so per game as opposed to paying by the hour.
