"Food advertised, was told no food in here. Need to change your advertising. Love the pier and the people working in the bait shop. Just very disappointed to run in from the beach to grab a quick bite for lunch after checking out the menu online ."
Robin Orr
"Local dive type bar. Friendly service. Limited to beer and wine, i think.... Live music. On the pier. Love it"
