This is our favorite on island for casual dinning, a few drinks and some music. We like the bar at the back with a more casual atmosphere. During cold months. Warm days and summer outdoors is busy with first come first serve seating. Enjoy a great burgers, hang out with locals and catch a game on the sports TV. Outdoor patio seating also available and check out their live music schedule. The front has restaurant seating if you're after a sit down and being served.
