Which is odd, especially with the proximity to this Harley-Davidson dealership. (Which gives all Military - Active and Veterans get discounts) . 2- The booths need to be re-cushioned!! The band's outside sound awesome! Super cool spot right next to the coolest Harley dealership I've ever been to. I highly recommend it. A+

Not sure how many rounds he actually bought, we got there for the last 4 rounds and he had been ordering rounds for quite some time before we got there. Made some new friends while sipping some beer. Everyone is friendly and down to earth. Shelley our barmaid was friendly and funny. Will definitely meet up with our friends here again.

He restored the side room and built the back wall shelf you put your food & beers on. He remodeled the entire place. My Dad BOB MOSES & brother ROB MOSES were daily patrons. When my Dad passed, his Wake was held here. Free beers & pizza for all. My brother Rob was addicted to whatever game was on the wall between the bar room & side room. My Dad & brothers loved to play pool with side bets, they were very good at it. Alas, all 3 have passed over. They would all be very sad to see how hurricane Ian devastated the area.

They run around and do a good job. I chose Sauvignon blanc and enjoyed. I was torn about what to eat. One of the servers, Jason, recommended the octopus and the meatballs- so I said ok! The meatballs came out first. They were tender and had a nice lamb flavor. I liked the hummus a lot. The pita was cold and stiff, but I ate it. The octopus came out hot. It had a nice citrusy sauce. It was cooked perfectly. Apparently they poach it, I asked. I always want to make something like this but I have yet to actually do it. Jason did bring a basket of crusty bread for the sauce on the octptus but I ate a few pita triangles so I skipped the bread. After my wine and tapas, I closed my tab. I easily found the restroom near the stage. I had walked over, but they do have a small parking lot of front and there's another one across the street. They have an event on the last Tuesday of each month. They close the store for it. Call ahead to make a reservation. I just missed the Wagyu wine pairing this week. Oops. They have music most nights. You can check their website for the event calendar.

I had to go to the bar to order food and drinks. Well ... I made the mistake of waiting a half hour before going to the bar and instead of being completely dead with no wait the kitchen was slammed by the time they got my order. I didn't get my food until I complained to the manager 2 hours later and the burger was a hockey puck because it had been sitting under the heat lamp for WAY too long plus it had more salt than ketchup on it. The manager tried making excuses until I told him, "If your waitresses would gave done their jobs two hours ago we wouldn't be having this conversation." I have gone back since then, but I stopped buying the VIP tickets and I stopped eating food there. I just enjoy the music and buy a drink or two. They've easily lost $500 from me because the manager didn't say, "I'm sorry" and make sure that I got a hot, fresh meal that was cooked correctly that night. The location is beautiful. The management is second rate at best.

Leroy's Fish Shack which occupied the former Village Fish Market, was still under renovation. We stop by next door, to the Village BrewHouse. This is off season and we were able to get an inside table with gulf view without any waiting time for lunch. As soon as we were seated, the place started to fill up. The hostess was friendly and waitress was great. We opted for the inside seating due to Floridian heat. We ordered Blueberry Waffle, Cod Tacos and Fajita wrap with French Fries and fresh fruit. The food was good. The Blueberries were very sweet; the Fajita wrap was tasty. The Cod was Lightly breaded and fried with power slaw, Pico de Gallo, and remoulade. This is a nice place for lunch or dinner with an excellent water view. It was fun sitting by the water and watching the boats! Service during the week dates are fine! We never been here on the weekend!
