It was quite embarrassing when we were told that since we weren't staying at the resort and didn't have cash, we would have to leave. We ended up walking out. Drinks were $17 each, and yet they couldn't find someone to reset the POS system?

I was looking forward to enjoying an egg white whiskey sour, which I believed would be a standard cocktail, but they were unable to make it. On a positive note, the bartender was friendly and efficient. The menu prices were somewhat surprising, especially the $17 charge for a Jim Beam Old Fashioned. The beer selection was decent, but having a greater variety would enhance the overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, the welcoming atmosphere and prompt service make it a nice spot for a casual drink.
