From the first moment walking in, it looked like it was all regulars as alot of them seemed to interact. Now I am a tourist, just staying in town for the night for photography opportunities as well as some astrophotography. I sat at a table facing the bar and waited......and waited.......and waited. My table was wet and needed a wipe so I was sitting back from it doing my best to be seen. The server seemed to go out of her way to avoid all eye contact even as I stared at her while she walked to the bar, payed out some keno tickets, paid out a couple bills, even served drinks to a table about 15' away. Still, no contact or acknowledgment that I was there. I am a patient man and I understand she is busy. The only two seater table is still dirty wet as a sit and patiently wait. Now, I walk to the bar and stand there and wait again, as I am completely ignored. I have a fellow walk up who is obviously a regular and he gets acknowledged, the guy is a full foot shorter than me and as I stand beside him.....Still ignored....Now the waitress is concerned about getting food out and ensuring its right, I think. Still, now I am only a couple of feet away and still ignored....Come one, I'm 6'2 250 pounds. I stand out!!! Now I ask for a rag to wipe the table and a menu. Begrudgingly, I am given what I ask for, but still not acknowledged. No hi, how are you. No sorry about that. Absolutely nothing from this women's mouth.....Not a word.... Service industry, take note, THIS IS NOT HOW YOU DO IT!!! I now I take my cloth back to my table with the menu that I have been given and do her job for her......And I wait again!!....still going! At this point I am figuring she is only there for the locals... YOU NEED TO LEARN SERVICE FOR ONE! FOR TWO I AM GENERALLY A VERY GOOD TIPPER!! You have earned this scathing review whole heartedly. Your lack of service or even acknowledgement was extremely disappointing and you caused me to miss my golden hour opportunities. That's the whole reason I am here. My advice, if you walk in and everyone seems to know each other, walk out and go to Saltys down the road. They will appreciate you and serve you with a smile!!!

Our only complaint was the Karaoke DJ, they were awful. We had even called ahead and told them we were coming hoping it would give them a heads up. We put in multiple requests for songs right at the start of the night and they ignored most requests, instead they sang themselves or only let certain regulars sing. We would have stayed longer and spent more there if they had fulfilled our requests. very disappointed in the KJ's. they were very unprofessional and made us want to leave early.

Everyone was welcoming- bartender was great... there's even a little dance floor. If you are looking for a welcoming dive bar on the coast- this is it! Great bartender and impressive selection!

Seriously the best service I’ve had in a restaurant in years. The server gave us menus before we sat down (we were being slow), was very friendly, and got us drinks with lighting speed. The food was good. Pub fare, as expected. We had salads, steamer clams, mozz sticks. All delicious. Friendly spot. Highly recommend.
