Its clean, friendly and the drinks are cheap. We enjoyed it for an hour and met several interesting people. Thanks

See what is on the menu for the night and order a few things to have. Best is to share it with the people you are with. Having a drink and something to eat reminds many of us what it was like when we were in college and sitting in a bar (if we could drink there at that age) and have a bite to eat. It is all good. As for the bartender...it is a place to go. They do know what to do when you place the order. Even ask for a special cocktail they would try themselves and you will have something to enjoy. I wil be back. Especially since I can walk there.

They're a beer and wine license bar though, so while they have "liquor", it's 20 proof liquor designed to taste like the real thing. This may or may not bother you depending on your taste in cocktails; it doesn't work so well unless it's in a drink that completely covers up the taste, like their espresso martini. They have a ton of tv's, so getting games on is easy.

Wow. I expected more from a place rated 4 stars. To be…read morespecific we went to the beach bar because the restaurant wasn't open yet. The very first issue was parking. Parking is minimum $50 a day + fees. A cocktail? For an hour? Haha no. I'm being mildly disingenuous. The bar staff (and likely restaurant staff) will give you a QR code to validate all $58 of your parking. But it made me acutely miss a time when you could just park and patronize an establishment. Just don't forget to validate your parking, cuz they sure didn't ask preemptively. They were celebrating a 3-day grand reopening when we went on Saturday. There was *one* artisan in their market space. The music was pumping loud enough to not be able to converse. Although it drew a crowd of younger folks, there was not much to behold from the "grand" reopening. Not even s cost of paint. The beach bar may not have been part of the sprucing up idk, I didn't see anything worth celebrating. I meant to look at the size of the cocktail cup that we got (small), but $13-14 for a cocktail is highway robbery for the end result. And $18 for 6 wings ($3 a wing) was a little disappointing. I expected better of a Hilton adjoined restaurant. No one part was terrible. It was just the way they matched up - loud, expensive, small portions. If you're loud maybe you're cheap and tasty. If you're expensive, maybe you're fast and delicious. This was all the worst parts of a bar that doesn't care about its patrons' economics. A bar that wants to serve tourists with mediocrity and move on to the next crop of people who will never be there again. If you're a tourist it'll probably be fine, if overpriced. If you're a local, don't bother. To be fair, we should ask if there was anything good. hm ... no. We won't be returning. 3 stars is probably generous.
