Nice place, friendly service , solid beer selection , at the end of the main drag so it's a lil less traveled but worth the visit.

Gradie Oakes

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.

Carla Sullivan

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!

Keyboardist 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 Bourjeili

This 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 Vodka

Such a great place! While you're here try an Ion martini . The vodka is electrolyte enhanced and super smooth!

Gerry Block

Bottomless memosa on Sunday is quality. $10 a head and they are quite attentive about the refills.

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. - Crystal Warner
