I love this bar! The stage is great for live music and karaoke. They have a nice pool table, good draft variety, and the coolest bartender ever. Shoutout to the beautiful Brynn and the Salty Frog security! 😎 🍻🥳

There is no food besides free popcorn. It's a bar. Bartenders are great. We go for the live music and the friendly crowd.

Neat place! Came here with my boyfriend for live music. They don't serve food here, but they let us bring in our own food, and they also give out popcorn for free. The drinks are made good too!

I had the most amazing experience at the bar thanks to the hot red-headed bartender (I think her name was Abby or something)! Not only did she mix the most fantastic drinks with flair and skill, but their friendly and charismatic personality made the whole...Read More

I've only been twice for karaoke and both times were so fun. Jason the DJ is so much fun and the bartenders are friendly and make a stiff drink.

This is a pretty small dive bar near the beach. They have friendly bartenders, decent priced drinks. Live entertainment, karaoke nights, pool tables, DJ, and this bell rule that if you ring it you have to buy everyone a drink. Great place for friends and...Read More

This is an excellent place to hang out with a few great buddies. Making brand-new buddies is an unintended yet unpreventable side effect.Just begun over and enjoy on your own! Karaoke nights are Mondays and also Thursdays, so possibly I'll see you then.:-RRB-.

I love this bar. I've been coming here since I've been old enough to drink and it's just gotten better and better. A chill environment with awesome live music on the weekends, karaoke, and great drink specials. Can't recommend this place enough.
