Outside and inside bars; however the door between the two bars is left open making it just as hot inside as out. Long strips of fly paper hanging around in an attempt to keep flies from sitting on glasses. Couple pool tables that have seen drink spills and aren't balanced correctly. We went twice (once at night and then during the day to give it a second chance) and each time we were served but over charged and treated like they could do without our business. Looking for a dive bar with more character and friendlier staff with some semblance of A/C then go to The Trailer Bar or Oasis Bar, avoid this place. It thinks too highly of itself.

We were here for a week of vacation and stopped in at this place twice, the only place that we…read morevisited more than once. Obviously that should say all you need to know. Despite the Steelers theme (Go Giants!) and the lone Giants Championship flag (YEAH BLUE!), it's not a sports bar it's more of an excellent family restaurant with the best food in the area. This was our 1st trip to Topsail and if we're lucky enough to return, this place will be at the top of our list.

There were 5 in our party. -The meals came out missing the requested condiments (ranch/lemon/etc). -One person said the shrimp po'boy was bland and needed seasoning and more remoulade. -The turkey hoagie had one slice of turkey on it and was missing the ranch dressing. -The piece of fish on the mahi sandwich barely covered half the bun (round bun) and was also bland. -Neither of the adults cared for the mixed drinks we ordered. On a positive note, the mac'n'cheese bites were what you would expect and good, several people liked the sweet tea, and the fried shrimp was said to be good.

Though the service was friendly, we waited an hour for 2 kids meals and burger /chicken sandwich,…read more and when it came out, 3 of the 4 orders were wrong. The waitress was very apologetic but we then had to wait longer for it to be made right. The buffalo chicken sandwich I had high hopes for but was so thickly breaded, it literally fell off as I cut /bit into it. Just not good. The onion rings were good and same with fries. Overall would not return....

Service is always good, some meals better than others but we never leave hungry or disappointed! They have an extensive menu and we started with the boneless chicken bites and Jalapeño cheese skewers, both of which are amazing every time we visit. For dinner we branched out this time and got snow crab legs, salads, a chicken sandwich, and a lobster pasta which came with an entire lobster! Keeping in mind it IS bar food, but everything was good and no one walked away hungry. Cocktails were also fantastic. There is a reason we always stop in and it's because they are consistent with great service! Kudos

This is the areas Pittsburg Steeler watering hole, we each ordered something different and everything was tasty, hot, and perfectly prepared.
