Lots of seating, but it's all outside. Try to use the restroom before...” • “I really liked this outdoor spot. They have a good beer selection. The vibe is laid back. I enjoyed talking with Joe, who was bartender. Liked the beachy decor and the music. I would definitely come back” If you have an opinion, drop it below — specifics help the next person decide.
