    I’ve had some fun times dancing, drinking and watching bands here. It’s a great venue for music. This past time was in late May with a full moon. The band Steal The Sky was playing (great band) with the moon rising over the stage on a perfect night to be outdoors. You can sit at the bar or the elevated deck so people dancing doesn’t block your view of the band. Two bars makes it easy to get a drink. Servers are also available if you sit at one of the tables. We have not had dinner there but the food looks good and it is one of the few places you can have a real meal while listening to good live music. If you like live music and have not seen Steal The Sky, check for the next time they are playing on The Deck or at one of the other casinos. But nothing beats this venue on a nice night.

    Wish I could rate the food but it never got that far. I'm not usually one to leave bad reviews but this one got to me. Walked over and asked the bartender if there was a host/hostess or if we just sat ourselves. He told us we just pick a table and someone would be right over. We sit down and start looking at the menus on the table and about 15mins later no one had come over. I asked a waitress(of which there were many walking by our table) if we were indeed supposed to order at the bar or if these tables were serviced. She said she would get a waitress over to talk to us(I'm assuming it either wasn't her section or she was busy). We wait another 10 minutes and asked again but got no one. Finally after waiting an additional 10 minutes we decided this place just wasn't for us. It was semi-busy but nothing even close to mobbed so I'll just assume they don't like customers.

    Food is just ok. Bands on the Deck are usually very good! Fun atmosphere!

    Picturesque place to sit outside and drink cocktails. Was overwhelmed by the ants so didn’t enjoy the food. Service was good.

    Don't waste your time going to this substandard bar. Everything started out fine with the male bartender serving us 2 excellent drinks rather quickly. We asked to start a tab since we were going to order food as well, but were told that they don't do that anymore due to too many walkouts. When we were ready for our second drink the male bartender must have gone on break and had a female barmaid filled in for him; that's where things went bad. She was too busy chatting up the only other two people who were at the bar and refused to even look over at us. I decided to walk over and approach her to inform her we were ready to order 2 refills for my wife and I, and she slowly started to fill the request. Instead of making us 2 drinks, she only made 1 and served it to me. I told her that she forgot my wife's drink and she replied that she didn't know I wanted two drinks. Once she slowly completed the order (bloody Mary's) she throws the bill up on the bar and demanded payment. My wife informed her that we were celebrating a wedding anniversary and asked if she could recommend someplace nice to go to which she replied that we should go to the pistol range so my wife could shoot at a target of my face, then she also suggested going hatchet throwing so she could throw a hatchet at me. This upset my wife terribly so we paid our bill and refused to leave any type of tip for her poor and rude service. One other silly practice they have at this place is that a waitress came up behind us while we were sitting at the bar and informed us that she wanted to take our food order. She said that the bartenders don't take food orders so we would have to order drinks from the bartender and food from her; Of course we had two bills to pay since they can't seem to put food and drinks on the same bill. Even though our food (soft pretzel) was horrible due to it being cold and stale, we still tipped the waitress nicely due to her being so pleasant and efficient. It only takes one bad apple to spoil what could've been a pleasant bar experience.

    Music is great. Dancing is always fun. Food is absolutely awful. Don't believe the menu which states much is homemade. The nachos? Out of a bag with the kind of cheese sauce you get at 7-11. Jar salsa and chicken from a bag. My pretzel was so hard it was a weapon. My friends said they've had better frozen bubba burgers than what the deck serves. If only management could up their game and offer a few good items this place would be awesome. Be sure to eat and have a few drinks elsewhere before you come

    Nice, clean place. Food came out quick, hot, fresh, and delicious. Service was friendly and on point. Directly on the water, with an awesome view of the yachts. Prices are definitely high, but the place is worth checking out.

    Waitress would not take my drink order. Literally said “no, go to the bar for that” I guess she didn’t want a tip.

    Love this place. The view of the water and the boats are amazing. Friendly staff and friendly people. Service is always excellent. Food is priced fair and good also. Plenty of staff and the entertainment is awesome. Banda and dancing is always over the rop

    We go for the music, definitely not the food. I don't expect top notch food on the outside deck, but come on - how hard is it to at least have decent food outside? Really lame food-wise, but the deck is a great set up for music in the summer time.

    Atmosphere was good. One bar was closed on a Saturday night. 6/10/23 My wife asked for a water, and was told that they don’t sell water. No problem. I asked for a Captain and Coke, and a water to be told that she isn’t the waitress for the section, but we could head to the other bar and get what we needed. Her loss We were not looking for free water and would’ve paid for bottled water if it were a thing, hence me attempting to purchase a Captain and Coke with an attempt to also get water to no avail. I don’t know if this waitress was cut for the night and just didn’t care, but at least direct the waitress who’s section we were sitting in to us. We are not looking for hand outs, my wife is in the service industry. We just want good service. Emphasis on good, not great… but at the very least … good. Certainly a vibe killer

    Limited menu and prices are on the high end. But you are at the shore. Can get very crowded when a popular band is playing sets. Bar with seating and plenty of 4 seat tables. Dance floor in front of stage. Two levels but entrance is on top level. Ramp at far left of area. If raining a cover over head for most seating. Umbrellas over others. Drinks from beer, wine, frozen, virgin frozen, and cocktails. Parking in garage area near casino but easy walk. $10 charge to park was free.

    Great experience with live band. Menu felt incomplete but is probably in line with other outside beach bars in the area. Prices seemed a bit high but service was excellent. I would definitely return. Parking is completely free in the casino garage.

    We always have a blast here. The food is really delicious and the staff is some of the best we have ever come across. Nothing is ever a problem for them. Oh and the cover bands are spot on.

  • 2/5 Michael R. 2 years ago on Google
    Drinks and music were good. Service was also good. Food was eh. My girlfriend has a chicken sandwich that was dry. I had the wings which were so fatty and not crispy. The pretzel we ordered was the only good thing we ate.

    Great music. The drinks were slightly pricey however that is expected at a casino. Large food choice. Food was ok. Band was amazing.

    Visited around 7pm on 8/28, the view was lovely but the service was horrendous. There were maybe 6 tables sat in the place, 2 servers. The server we had seemed like she was majorly inconvenienced every time she had to get something for one of her tables and worked so slow we actually started timing how long her disappearing acts were lasting. We tried to make the most of the experience and have a good time enjoying the atmosphere but we left after one drink and will never go back. We realized rather quickly why the place was empty.

  • 1/5 Jessica M. 3 years ago on Google
    There wasn’t much of a crowd so I don’t understand why the service was so terrible! My boyfriend and I sat for at least 30 minutes and we weren’t offered a drink,menu, NOTHING! I don’t want to chalk it up to us being the only minorities there at the time HOWEVER,a Caucasian family of 8 walked in and received service IMMEDIATELY! When we finally asked the waitress if anyone would be taking our order she told us she’d go and get another server but of-course no one ever came ! Eventually we got up and left ! Complete waste of time sitting in the heat for 30 minutes and being 5 months pregnant at that!

    Great atmosphere. Food and service are a bit lacking....

  • 1/5 Brayden T. 3 years ago on Google
    Rude managerial staff. The food itself was downright terrible, but since this place is a bar I am able to forgive that a tad bit. However, where a bar takes its pride, they also fail to come close to any sort of expectations. The mojito was so awful that I thought they may have served me the wrong drink! Nothing about this bar is fun, not even their prices. If you want overpriced “food” in a plastic container, and drinks that make you want to vomit this is the place for you! If not, steer clear :)

    The food was good and we had a very friendly waitress. Music by the Beginnings was excellent.

  • 1/5 JoAnne M. 2 years ago on Google
    Service very bad. Waitress admitted to forget our order twice and still didn't bring it or apologize. The music is great. The Exceptions are always amazing. The waitress was the absolute worst 😫
