    Bathroom Flooding
    Gabriella W.

    Very important things to know before you visit The Osprey: 1. The other low star reviews are correct, this bar does in fact refuse to serve tap water. If you'd like water, you will have to pay $3 for a bottle. I had hoped that because most of those reviews are a few years old, that maybe times had changed this policy but I was wrong. 2. The cover is $20 and the entire bar is cash only. There are a few ATMs inside and the fee is $3.99 as of July 2021. 3. There are a few specific rules that might prevent you from gaining entry... No tank tops, no large backpacks, no flip flops, & no smoking or vaping. 4. The line gets LONG. My friends and I arrived at around 9 PM and waited about 20 minutes, which was nothing (according to my local friend) compared to the typical wait. Our experience was, for the most part, what we had expected. I do realize that this bar is not known for high quality service or ambiance, but there were a few things that even a low level dance bar should be on top of for the health and safety of their customers. I was honestly disgusted when I saw that one of the women's bathrooms was flooded, I believe this was due to a clogged toilet. There appeared to be fecal matter floating on the floor. The smell permeated to the nearby dance floor which made me believe this problem had been ignored for quite some time. The bathroom did not have any "Out of Service" signage, or even a wet floor sign to save someone from slipping and falling in that nasty mess. As for the drinks, cocktails and beers are $7 each. There are an abundance of bars to order from, so I was happy to not have to wait very long at any point. Overall, my friends and I enjoyed dancing in the mirrored room (as far away from the nasty bathroom as possible). The music was shockingly loud to the point that our voices are strained today from yelling to try to talk to each other. This was all part of the experience. Most of the staff was friendly and kind. One security person even let me know when I had accidentally dropped cash on the floor! I really appreciated that. If you, with all of this knowledge, are still down to go to The Osprey then I believe you fully understand what you are getting yourself into and I salute your commitment to having a night out.

The Matcha Matcha Man was smooth, creamy, and dangerously easy to drink -- the matcha coconut cream with the ginger beer gave it such a unique refreshing kick. The Lady Marmalade tasted like sunshine in a glass with the perfect citrusy balance and just enough sweetness from the marmalade. The food menu is definitely more small plates/appetizer style, but honestly everything tasted super fresh and packed with flavor. The coconut shrimp were jumbo and crispy with the perfect sweetness, the mango habanero chicken bites super fresh, and the wagyu sliders disappeared embarrassingly fast. The real star though? The outdoor lounge setup overlooking the ocean. It's the kind of place where you go for "one drink" and suddenly it's three hours later and you're debating ordering another round just to stay for sunset. It's walk in only but wasn't too packed ...we went around 5pm but seems to have a packed late night vibe and crowd as well during summer !

    The music and vibe was great on the Saturday night we visited. We met with friends and had a few…read moredrinks. We were able to secure a spot on the sofas which was nice. The venue overlooks the beach and ocean & it's a really nice view. The crowd is a mix of all ages which was surprising but so fun. The staff seemed nice. Overall a nice place to go for drinks and light food.

We first ordered a round of piña coladas with floaters for my birthday round. Delicious, not too strong but not too weak. Along with spinach artichoke dip- they were creamy-- I would get it again. We ordered two pies, the wise guy and the vodka pie. The wise guy was my favorite overall-- the chicken and hot peppers were flavorful. I did like the vodka pie too, the sauce was great. I was impressed with how light the dough was. I saw they use a brick oven inside -- 10 outta 10. The kids seemed to enjoy their meals too, Classic Mac and cheese and hamburger slider. Looking forward to going back!

Wait staff is usually accommodating but they do get busy sometimes. Drinks- Miami vice is a classic, the PB Elvis drink is good too. Check inside boards too for beer and mixed drink deals! Ambiance- if the weather is well, definitely love the patio. The bar staff outside is especially nice! (Mason is the best)! Inside is fun, traditional irish sports bar-y. During the summer is packed, and a great casual going out spot.
