What User doesn't like about Thirsty Turtle:

This neighborhood dive bar has a distinct smell, and it’s not uncommon to find vomit on the sidewalks. It could easily serve as a venue for AA or NA meetings.

We decided to give it a try since it claimed to be located by the water online. Technically, it is, but the view of the water is quite limited. Upon entering...

I ordered a few cocktails and noticed a TouchTunes jukebox, so I decided to play some music. However, one of my song choices didn't seem to align with the barte...
