Great dive bar on the beach! Can't beat their prices. It is dog friendly as well! Nice cat inside as well
Ok, it's a MUST go just for the show. After reading about this place as being the "Worst dive bar in America" we fell upon it while at the beach. First, it's gross. Not clean and disgusting. Cat is on the bar oh, the cat is MEAN! Dont think that it is coffee beans on the counter to combat the smell, it's cat food. Don't ask for an old fashion and god forbid don't ask for a wine. Don't expect much for the service. No door on the women's bathroom just a shower curtain. The lady beside us said "I normally don't wear panties but my husband makes me wear them here". But boy oh boy what a show of people watching. It's a MUST visit.
Always such a fun place to visit. Can't beat cheap drinks, a dollar bill ceiling, and the bar kitty. This is always my go to spot for visitors - they love it!
I left feeling like I needed a shower! Definitely an odd space that everyone should experience. Don't touch ANYTHING! It smells of urine... gross! We had a can beer and nothing more. lol Its like one of the many wonders of the world! It should be a staple in Ripley's Museum...
I am giving this a 5 because it was exactly as it is advertised to be. Pretty much the diviest dive bar I have ever been in and it met all my expectations. It is not for the weak of stomach. Been here a couple of times and it just keeps getting worse but I'm guessing that is the plan. This was the first time I wasn't drunk enough to brave the restroom. Couches smelled like pee right when we walked in. Bar stools were solid and as far as I could tell didn't stink. The bathroom was raunchy and with my horrible gag reflux I decide to skip. The smell of puke a bit overwhelming this time for me. They had the best obscene music on their TouchTunes which I gotta admit I got into. Overall, you get what you get and you can't throw a fit. Even if you did they wouldn't care and that's the point. It's a must visit at least once. Maybe not much more than that :-)
Well, it's definitely a dive bar. But one of the most original ones you'll ever go to (I guess they all are, kinda). They've got booze, they've got beers, and they've got a cat. So much eclectic stuff around the bar it's almost an eyegasm. A bar made from a boat. A wood burning stove. A part of a bumper car. A lizard sanctuary (sadly he passed). And even a Ms PAC Man. But don't bring your kids. This is (thankfully) one of those rare places that doesn't allow them to run around while we're trying to get our drink on and sometimes act childish. It's got plenty of parking around back, and is right across the beach. Great location, and even non-surly service from behind the pine. Def a place to check out if in the area!! Just hold your breath in the bathroom
Five stars to any establishment that has cats, drinks and cool music. Give it's a beach spot, that adds another 5 stars. Love love love it!!!
The ultimate dive bar and a must visit while beach bar hopping. Miss the old days when the owner was still around. He was a trip for sure. Fun, nostalgic and cheap drinks/beer. What else could you want??? Make sure to sign a dollar and hang it up. I couldn't find the ones I put in the 90s but heck that was 30+ years ago. Might I'm old.
