Unfortunately Evie's was packed out the door so it was too late to find another place. PS. Bartenders and servers are super nice and food is good. Places need to understand that it's not about personal taste, but about giving people what they want.

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!

Early afternoon and I landed here instead of a coffee shop. A full bar, a dozen beers on tap and a…read morevariety of cans/bottles available. 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.

Unfortunately, this experience went from disappointing to downright concerning…read more I do want to distinguish between the two bartenders working. The younger bartender was nice, pleasant, and welcoming. The older gentleman behind the bar, however, was a completely different experience. He came across as rude and was essentially barking orders at guests about how he would take our orders. For a place positioning itself as an upscale cocktail experience, that attitude set the wrong tone immediately. Unfortunately, the drinks didn't make up for it. My espresso martini was mediocre at best. My friend had the lemon drop, which was equally lackluster. Then came the $30 smoked Old Fashioned, which should have been impressive at that price point but was incredibly disappointing. We were also told they infuse their own vanilla into the vodka. Whatever they're using or doing with it, the end result tasted incredibly cheap --not remotely what I'd expect from a premium cocktail program. Then there's the condition of the place itself. There was a wrapped pipe dripping water onto/near a lounge bench, chipped and peeling paint on the walls, and obvious signs that preventive maintenance is desperately needed. The space simply wasn't aesthetically pleasing or maintained at the level the prices and concept would suggest. But it actually got worse when I went to the bathroom. Part of the ceiling appeared to be falling down, water was actively dripping into a bucket, and there was visible dark growth on the ceiling tile that looked like mold. At that point, my concern went well beyond décor. If you're going for an upscale speakeasy experience take a look at The Doctor's Office. That's the kind of atmosphere, presentation, and attention to detail I associate with this concept. When you're charging $30 for a cocktail, expectations are naturally going to be high. I expect excellent drinks, professional hospitality, and a well-maintained environment. Aside from the younger bartender, who was genuinely pleasant, this experience missed the mark across the board.

I went to Craftails Speakeasy and tried the Strawberry Fields from their spring craft tail menu…read more Honestly, it was strong, super pretty, and had this little dried orange thing plus a bubble that added smoke to the drink, felt fancy without feeling "my wallet is crying." Service was awesome too. We got there right when they opened so it was just me and my mom at first and the guy at the bar made it easy and fun. The vibe feels a bit on the fancier side, but it's still chill, a perfect spot for date night or just taking cute photos. No hidden entrance or secret password that we could see and street parking is available. No wait during the day. It's not the cheapest spot, but honestly worth it for the drinks and the aesthetic. I'd love to go back and try more of their craft tails sometime!

That's what the Ritz beach guys told me anyway and there was nowhere to drink. me and my mom and my sister and my brother walked a half a mile and then we walked back in the cold and I thought we were gonna die.

One thing I really like is that customers can pay to choose the music, so there's always something different playing. We've also been there on nights with a DJ, which makes for an even better time. There's a small dance floor with a stripper pole if that's your thing! They also allow smoking, and you can even buy cigarettes there. They also have a vape and Pokémon card vending machine, again if that's your thing. They have a separate pool room, along with plenty of seating options, including bar seating, high-top tables, and tables facing outside. Overall, it's a great place to hang out with friends, grab a drink, play some pool, and enjoy the atmosphere. I always have a good time here and definitely recommend checking it out!

Although it would be difficult to rank our favorites when it comes down to restaurants, beaches, activities, etc., hands down the Anchor Inn was the highlight of our trip. I could rave to you about the ice cold drinks, festive music, pinball and pool tables... But none of those elements even remotely compared to the awesome locals and fabulous bartenders that we quickly became friends with. But this post is regarding the Anchor Inn, so praising the bartenders is my top priority. Brad, single-handedly the most insightful and thought-provoking bartender that I've ever met. And his hair is great, too. The Brothers, both equally charming and pleasant to be around. And last, but not least and never to be forgotten, the tough as nails/sweet like honey Kirsten. You are a true Diamond, little sister. The four of you will be the top reasons that we will definitely be back to AMI in the not so distant future.
