Reviews
"I vacation here every year and thought it would be fun to stop for a drink. There was one “security guard” who felt like he had a power trip and was so incredibly rude. He also appeared to be incredibly intoxicated, slurring his speech trying to cause a scene. I will definitely not be back. There are many other bars on the island I would go before this one. Would not recommend."
"Love the crowd here! Great drinks and bartenders are super friendly."
"I love going to bingo at the Drift. The people running the game are great. The bar is laid back and service is top notch. The people attending are fun EXCEPT the guy with the mowhawk that continues to create a hostile environment for his targets of the day. This past week he couldn't stop himself from making homophobic comments after a woman won. It's not the first time he has done this. I don't want to listen to that type of ignorant hate when I'm out having a good time. I see in the prior comments the owner said he would be talked to but it hasn't seemed to help. An employee, even if their off time, should better represent their employer."
"I came upon what I thought was this gem of a bar that reminded me of an old school seaside bar, but I was reminded of what kind of trouble these bars could harbor. But before I get to the bad, I feel the positives need to be told first, because they really made this the funnest bar I’ve been into in a long time. First, they have some of the best bartender and service I’ve found in a long time. Ashley was so fun to be around and great service to everyone there. The drink prices are amazing for a bar in a beachside village. They had an afternoon bingo game that they do several times a week that we had a blast playing. Joy was so personable and even had me and my wife laughing and feeling so welcome here. Now, unfortunately for the bad. I hate to have to mention it about this fine establishment, but I feel it’s so heinous I have to bring it up. At the beginning of the bingo games, a young man with a Mohawk haircut stood up and started threatening a black couple in the parking lot for no reason, threatening them he had a gun in his truck and would use it on them if they didn’t get off the property right away. I cannot tolerate this kind of hatred in today’s day and age. I thought I would just address this with the bartenders how disgusted this made me when, but I found out this young man actually works at this establishment. This behavior is completely unacceptable, ESPECIALLY from an employee. This would’ve been a one in a million bar, if it wasn’t for the unpleasantness from this racist, violent employee."
"Let’s see where do I start this is a local dive bar. Depends on the person you are as to whether you will like this place or not. In my opinion, there are so many things that could be improved with this place. If you won a night of Mayham, this is the place to go. Karaoke on Tuesday nights is funny. Some people are actually good Saturday night concrete Edgar plays and they are one of the better bands around classic Led Zeppelin style. It is the latest bar open and you will for sure create memories here."
