John KiddeJune 19, 2017Nice place, friendly service, solid beer selection, at the end of the main drag so it's a lil less traveled but worth the visit.
REALLY fun spot. Tourist by day, live music most nights w/ good local crowd lots better than down on the Peninsula. On Saturdays paddleboard or kayak to Balboa, tie up and grab a drink.
Has become my hang out while away from my home in Florida. Great bartenders & servers. Wonderful regulars. They all made me feel very welcome! Love it!
Mitch DevineJanuary 8, 2011Keyboardist Rick Sherman rocks the house the first Friday of the month. He's been doing it for 32 years here! Go ahead and request "Piano Man"!- Marta BourjeiliJune 1, 2014This place does not allow dancing. Please do not shake your shoulders to the live band playing. It will result in you being severely scolded by management.
Ion VodkaFebruary 19, 2011Such a great place! While you're here try an Ion martini. The vodka is electrolyte enhanced and super smooth!
Gerry BlockFebruary 20, 2011Bottomless memosa on Sunday is quality. $10 a head and they are quite attentive about the refills.
- Cindy is the greatest bartender on the island! Tip her well!!!!

"The peanut topping was better than the Oreo cookie topping, but I would recommend going for half-half toppings so you can have a mixture."
