“Little place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

Honestly, we didn't go here, but will next time. It is so small and cozy. No kitchen, but they do have burrittos and nachos and such, and Music on some nights. We gotta try it next time, looks like the happenin place.

“Great apps, good beer = chill”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 7, 2012

This is a nice hole-in-the-wall spot on Route 1, next to Liquid. Galley bar, nice finishings, backyard patio, decent beer selection, and great apps. Not a pick up bar... What's not to like?

“Great local spot!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed July 12, 2012

VERY BEACHY ATMOSPHERE inside and out! Many different seating areas and a fire pit out back along with live music off and on during the year.. Has the feel of the old "Cheer" bar minus Ted Danson, altho, these bartenders are just as much fun! It doesn't take them long to learn your name. Not a huge menu, but what they have is all you need and the nachos are nummy!Decor is great-surfboards, tikis and photos of patrons posted.
Age group on any given day anywhere from 21-85. Definitely not just for surfers. :)

“Feels like the beach -”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed June 25, 2012

Cool little bar with a nice drink menu, wonderful fresh food, friendly service and the best soundtrack ever. If you are nearby and want to pretend you are at the beach - this is the place.
