What a cool place to stop into. Margarita good. Vast alcohol selection and good pours…read more The juke, AMI, was a cool mixed vibe. The kitchen had a decent selection of food. I ordered the lemon pepper wings w/garlic fries and my daughter got fish and chips. They gave a ton of garlic fries and they were just garlicky enough and crispy. Lemon pepper wings were well done as requested. Would like to thank the bar tender for the women owned tequila recommendation. Parking was decent on a Friday evening. Will come again.

Not a bad place for a drink with friends. The crowd was definitely a bit older than my wife and I…read morebut the people there were definitely having a great time. What brought us there in the first place was we were looking for a late night meal but unfortunately the kitchen was closed by the time we arrived. That's something to take note of if you're looking for a bar with food, after 9pm. A major plus though is their parking lot. It's right outside the building and you have multiple points of entry from the front and back of the bar. For the drinks they were fairly priced. I hope if I come here again it'll be during a time I can try their food. For now, I'll give the place 3/5. This is a good spot, and has their regulars. I just wish we got to experience more of the place, and at a time when it was more lively.

Not in a prime spot for city nightlife, so definitely something iykyk. Walking in, it was a little better than expected. Although, there were all sorts of smells (coming from people maybe?) throughout the bar lol. It's cool there's a pool table on the end of the bar, which is $1 to play. First come first serve. Vibes are chill while they play hip hop music in the back. Everyone mainly sits outside, but they also have a patio that's pretty cute with all the string lights. One man is working, so he's basically the bartender and cleanup of this bar. Does the job if you wanna just grab a drink.

The nachos, pretzel, and soups of the day also bring something homey. You can walk in and see island folks you know, or quickly start getting to know a friendly new someone. We love it here.

I came here on 2 different occasions the first time Jeff was the bartender he was pretty chill at first. our group ordered a couple rounds and probably already there for at least 2 hr. Jeff repeatedly was taking shots and going outside smoking not washing his hands, and using the bathroom a lot and who knows if he was washing his hands. He was barely paying attention to the customers and was pretty drunk. I'm all for the fun but you're working dude serving customers and you're drunk behind the bar NOT a good look. Our group was completely turned off by that and the not washing his hands is gross. The second occasion was Bridgett she was very welcoming and really nice at first but after an hour of being there she was in and out the bathroom like 4 times. She looked high and another bartender that cares more about drinking than serving customers. But here's the kicker I went with a few friends it was a total of 4 of us. The prices and menu is written down on the walls. We asked for 4 coronas and ask me if I wanted to pay now or keep my tab open which we did leave open because we didn't know if we where having more then one drink ea. After having our first round we decided to pay our tab because she was being sloppy behind the bar. I told her I want to close my tab and handed her a $50 bill, when she gave me change it was only $10 back. I told her hey you gave the incorrect change back we only had 4 coronas. she said no it's right. I told coronas are not $10ea it's written on the wall $6 imported bottle beers. I can tell she was drunk and probably on drugs. she kept trying to argue with me over my money. over charging customers is wild. Will never come to this place again. Bartenders are drunk an doing drugs and stealing from there customers. Whoever hired these two should fire them they suck.

The wait staff was really nice don't get me wrong, but it took one of us to go up to them (chatting with a regular) to order drinks & food, and another one of us to bother them to pay as well. I think that was biggest qualm though! Just that the wait staff should be slightly more attentive, especially at times when the restaurant is mostly empty. The food was bomb though. We had a tikka pizza, the lemon pepper wings, and French fries. All were super great with the cocktails we ordered. Definitely a great catch up spot with the girlies, I'll probably return and manifest better service.
