    Beach
    Jade H.

    Great place to watch the games and sunset! So fun for football Sundays, all the games are playing in tons of TVs, also the free hotdog can't beat it

    Beach sign saying the wet beach is private property

    Cockroach in the bathroom, overpriced drinks, nearly 50 minute wait for food which was mediocre at best. You can do better than here. Sign post placed in the beach saying they own the beach (no they don't?) was also annoying enough to convince me to write a review.

    The Undertoe Bsach bar say they own the beach?? Not good for locals or tourists!!

    Bad frozen food and different prices for different people. . Who thinks they own the beach. ????

    I used to really like this place, gorgeous setting on the beach. But recently the prices have gone up quite a bit. I ordered a small glass, maybe 3 ounces of house Chardonnay and it was 8.50. Too rich for me.

    Horrible food. Super greasy, dirty tables and bathrooms. There are tons of great beach bars, don't waste your time at this dive!

    Went in a couple days, looked nice. But the water downed drinks were terribly over priced. Would not recommend.

    Exactly what you want a beach bar to be. Not much more I need to say. I do wish the parking situation was a little better.

    kept the barbecue guy outside is amazing. His food is to die for.! Isabel does shots hanging upside down from the ceiling. It's a must.

    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.

    Level 11 is at the top of the Bellwether Hotel. Take the elevator up and you are greeted by a bar -…read morego to the sides and this is where they had seating both longue type and dining. Seating is seat yourself. Most of the seating is very tight/narrow and is about as wide as a hallway. The longue area is a bit bigger and more spacious but not great views of the beach or sunset. Bathrooms are by the longue area. Come for the sunset views and stay for the drinks/food. If your plan is to come to see the sunset, then you need to get here early in order to get a good seat. Two bars - one in the back by the elevator and one on the other side that faces the beach. There is a ledge type area that allows for more people to stand to look at the beach/sunset. We were told it's best to order your drink/food at the bar and then go sit down to have it brought out to you. Food menu is limited and pricey. We got a crab cake and samba waves (cowboy caviar type dip with wantons). The food was excellent, fresh and good portion size. Drink wise, we were on our babymoon, so I got a mocktail and it was delicious! Bartender made me a raspberry mojito mocktail. The views of the sunset are beautiful considering how high up you are. After the sunset most people got out of there and it was quiet.
