I support this bar, it’s a fun time. However, I cannot condone their use of dolphin symbols, and their acceptance of these ocean rats. I feel unsafe. Sharks only. Please course correct, thank you. - from a concerned ocean enthusiast

Just stopped in for a glass of wine 🍷 with a buddy who was familiar with the place. It was definitely busy in there but the vibe seemed chill. The music came from 2 large TV that played pop music videos, so that was interesting, and the wine was ok, it was a cab that I’m not familiar with, but I didn’t pay, so I can’t complain 🤷🏾.
