"Good local spot, food is outside ever since covid created the "outside experience""
"Good old local dive bar, no food service the night I was there and for a while out of the 2 dozen patrons I was the only female and non local by appearances. Bartender was friendly and mixed a good drink, he also offered me the ability to have pizza delivered from next door. I will definitely return next time I pass through the area."
"Another off the main drag local spot. Ocean views and happy people. Friday evening food truck with Copper King Burgers are a must!"
"Can’t beat this place! Locals only spot! Great ocean view, great beer, and great local eats like Nico’s fish market!"
"Great local bar. Wonderful service. Large outdoor seating area with heat lamps. Street parking is usually not difficult."
