The bar is an old fishing boat! Its our fav local small bar. Don't be put off by the shabby entrance off the busy highway - jump into a whole new world of fishing stuff. It's a locals only place with a great atmosphere after dark especially on the weekends. The food is ok and the drinks are ok but we love going there. Friday evening from 5 is fun on the build up to the fish raffle at 7pm then the band kicks off about 8.
There is live music most nights performed by up and coming local bands. There is a small door charge after 7 on popular nights.
