    Let me tell you something, especially for a dive bar, this place is stellar! George was an amazing, welcoming bartender. He seemed to know all the "regulars" and their drink orders; and he treated me like a "new regular". Guess what? I will be. I am in the area M-Th for work so I will 100% be back when I need to take the edge off of my work week/day. Also, A COCKTAIL MENU! So rare, although necessary (Jon Taffer will agree IYKYK) in *any* bar. LOVE this place!

    Love the atmosphere here. Divey but not trashy. Before covid they had a great reggae scene going every other month or so. Bringing in some of the baddest roots reggae performers from Jamaica. Mad love for George and the family. I can't wait till y'all up and running again.

    The New Harbor is a solid bar as they come. TNH - is really popular with different sets of crowds for an after work Friday happy hour. You get the blue collar city workers in their orange vests. You get some white collar Oracle types - nothing promotes team synergy than some good 8 ball (2 tables). Then you have the regulars of the Harbor just sittin' by the dock of the bay, wasting time. (I love this song and just had to make the shipping reference - Otis Redding - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCmUhYSr-e4). However, Atomic Dog was on the j-box which fit the diverse crowd. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-cU4S4lDH0 AND If you are "a dog trying to chase the cat" then you might especially like the Harbor on Thursdays/Fridays 5:30-7pm. That's when they have Missy's show. Missy basically walks around in lingerie and sells raffle tickets that you can redeem for drinks. I was surprised about Missy's show and had no idea. The other women at the bar didn't seem to mind her as I think she rigged the raffle so that all the ladies would win anyways. * New Harbor is right next door to El Metate's for some really good Mexican food.

    Amazing people!! Great atmosphere!! Great Bands! Great prices!! What more can you ask for?

    4 stars for this dive bar didn't expect much from the outside, when inside all the patrons are super mixed crowd some younger (mid 20's) some way older (late 60's) all having fun drinking, watching the game on there huge projector pointed at the wall, they also got 2 pool tables. you get a laid back feelin when getting inside, mite be there mix of music some laid back reggae followed up with some punk rock and some soul, the jukebox makes this possible haha random mash of music which was all good didnt hear any country songs playing with was also a plus. if you go on a friday i think it was from 6-7pm there is a entainer that walks around in lingerie selling raffle tickets you either win a free shot or you win what shes wearing haha seems that they rig the game so the girls at the bar win so they wont mind that there is a half naked chick walking around.. alcohol **** cheap beers, cheap mixed drinks ambiance **** alcohol, sports on a supersized projector, and eye candy haha price $ tip the entertainer a dollar for a raffle ticket if you win you get a shot for free

We went there because they had gluten free options and I have celiacs. When we got there I asked about the gf options labeled on the menu and the server said that those items were not really gluten free... So, I asked what my options were and it ended up being salad or surf and turf. My husband and I decided to share the $60 surf and turf and it was okay, but I wouldn't order it again. The one thing that was the most disappointing was the $12 Italian soda. It was just not good... Maybe some of the other non gluten free items are better, but not suitable for a person that needs gluten free options unless you want to eat a salad.

This last visit, we shared a few appetizers including the cheesy garlic bread, brussels sprouts, and crispy potatoes. Everything was super delicious and came with amazing sauces that complemented each dish really well. The potatoes especially stood out to me, they had a lot of garlic, which I love, but it wasn't overpowering. The garlic had a nice sweetness to it and paired perfectly with the crispy texture of the potatoes. For my main, I got the steak salad, which had a really nice Asian-inspired twist with ginger and noodles. Another favorite of mine is the Napa cabbage salad. We were also celebrating my birthday, and they brought out a bread pudding cake to share that was absolutely delicious with an amazing sauce on top.
