4 stars for the venue, prices, and people watching…read more We stopped in at Chester's Reef on a Saturday afternoon/evening. It was really hot outside (July) and even though the venue had its large doors open, the air conditioning kept it very comfortable. The bartender was friendly and the full liquor bar is actually covered by palms to give it a tiki-hut 'look'. There are 12 beer taps, lots of pool tables, a juke box, big screen t.v.'s, and smoking is welcome inside. Add in clear plastic beer cups, a men's room without a mirror, lots of JORTS, and you're officially in this dive bar. But that's ok because it's fun, and prices are decent. What to do: Grab a seat at the bar, order a beer, and relax What NOT to do: Order a martini

Service was great, and the bartender was very friendly, my beer was cold, and the glass was clean. I will definitely be heading back there with friends very soon. I only wish there was a restaurant close by that you can grab takeout food from, like they had at their older location. It is what it is and it's a great dive bar for our community!

I took a seat towards the back where I was able to plug in my electronics and a lovely bartender took my order. I spent the next two hours with my beer and their Internet, watching a couple play some pool and while I tried hard to ignore the smell of cigarettes from folks sitting *just* outside. The beer was cheap, the seating was comfortable and I got some work done. All good.
