Relaxed atmosphere.
Directly across the street from West Haven Beach.
Unisex Bathroom.
We just love this place... When we can get in. It is really, really small. Wish they would buy the dump tavern next to them and move there. Tons of different beers and artsy fartsy pub food. Wish there were more places like this along the water in West Haven and Milford.
Mixed Drinks had the perfect ratio.
I came in for food and soon after sitting I was asked for my ID. When the waitress returned, she stated that the machine was not accepting my ID and I could not be served alcohol. I was then asked for a second form of ID, so I provided several more forms. I was still not able to be served, so why bother asking for a second form of ID? My ID has worked fine here once before, and at other restaurants as well. I asked what I would have to do to be served here, and she told me to either bring a passport or get my ID redone. Sorry, I'll take my business elsewhere. Maybe you need a new machine or need to find a better way to card your guests.
Large Beer menu (Cans & Bottles)
Friendly Bar Tender. Great food at decent prices. Small Appetizer & Dinner "Bar" Menu.
The place is great if you can get in. Once in, the ambiance is very hip and the flights of beer are awesome as well as the upscale but affordable plates and apps. Tuesdays seem to be a good evening to get in. Prepare to wait any other days. Summers are even better. They have a garage door they open so you get the breeze off the long island sound. It's truly a West Haven treasure!
Upon arrival I was really impressed with this place. Very nicely put together, and right by the beach. The menu was good with lots of choices. I was disappointed that my "motherload" burger had absolutely nothing on it except the jalapenos and Mayo that I requested. And the burger didn't come with fries, which was surprising considering the burger was $12. All in all it was an okay experience. I'd try again, but if my second experience was like my first, I'd never go back.
Does not serve Coffee, Tea or Desserts.
