Best bar in Port A!
Jan 2013 • Couples
Live bands every Friday and during summer on Saturdays. It has character and great bartenders, pool tables, and this is where the locals go. If you're a non-smoker, go somewhere else. They do have "smoke eaters" though. The place is dark and cold, just how I like it. Crowd is usually in their 30-50's. No teens or just-turned-21 kiddos! (YAY!) They're next door at Bernie's (yuck).
I've been there all days of the week and they have a steady crowd. Also worth mentioning, owner does alot for people in need, such as holding benefits for people stricken with illness, etc. The kindness displayed goes a long way in my book.

Cold and Dark

After roasting all day in the blinding sun, this was the best place. I would have never found this place if not for my guide. Timmy and the staff were so friendly and nice. I could have stayed longer if I didn't have to fish in the morning.

Great local bar! This place has a little bit of everything and a little bit of everyone! Great drink prices, pool table, and local live music! This place has a great chill vibe ad welcomes everyone! however if you don't like smoke don't go here! The bar quickly feels up with smoke as the evening goes on!
