😠 I was a regular for over 15 years. It WAS a great place... Then came new management. It is complicated. The bartenders have been mostly great over the years. The old ones still there still rock. The new crew likes to screw... you. Extra drinks on the tab. F that. This is my opinion. I don't shop the... People often mention great, Great, pool, good,

    It was very quite when I first got here, but I was just looking to grab a beer with a buddy. We end up staying for 3 hours, the place got busy with a fun crowd, the music they were playing was amazing. I would highly recommend coming here for a beer or to play some pool, darts and watch some good sports on the televisions.

    Well, this goes down as the most overpriced and over rated place we have been. Charge $9 for Deep Eddy vodka?? Positive reviews must be from staff or friends. We have no problem paying $9 or more for specialty drinks or at high end places but this is a small neighborhood bar in a strip mall. Wouldn't recommend unless you like wasting money on over priced drinks at a small neighborhood bar with no atmosphere.

    I came here 3 times in the last month, everyone was great, great service and great atmosphere. Made new friends from Europe and many more countries there. Playing pool 🎱. Shooting darts, just making great conversations with good people. It's definitely a real pub.

    Cheap, some crazy rap music was playing. Server was nice. Only a beer place, no kids please!

  • 5/5 Giovanni V. 2 years ago on Google
    Chill spot. No food at all. Cash is your best friend here. 4% extra charged on a card. Again though, great place.

    Old school is the best school. Beers at the correct price. A mix mush of clients depending on the time of day.

    I read some of the reviews of this place, and I saw one that made no sense at all, inspiring me to chime in. Rude locals, and rich yachties!? Yachties aren't rich, they are the waiters, servers and cooks on boats! And the locals who attend this place are definitely not rude. We have been welcomed there time and time again and since we love going back, we have made ourselves regulars! Definitely a thousand times better since they put in an outside smoking policy. Drinks are inexpensive and the atmosphere is great. We also LOVE that it stays open very late! If it stays this way, will continue to find ourselves there every week!

    Absolutely great staff !! Clientele runs the gamut,...just like the human experience. Only downside ? They prefer you don't bring your weapons with you. Not fans of the 2nd amendment evidently. Regardless, except for a few (and there are always a few) it is America, or at least south Florida's version of it. Love ya, Samantha

  • 5/5 Michael Q. 2 years ago on Google
    The bartender April is AWESOME!!! She is very focused on making sure customers are given the best experience. I am from Georgia and my Credit card didn't go through and she was like are you from out of town I said yes she said you may need to let the CC company know. I left and went and got cash but she still allowed me to drink my drink until I went to my hotel and got funds. I was very impressed with her customer service. I will definitely be going back for a good time!!!!

    Very nice place. Beautiful decorated and clean. Very reasonable prices and the bartender (I feel terrible that I can't remember her name) was very friendly and took great care of us. I'll definitely be back again.
