This place was awesome. People were cool. Locals were fun and inviting. Some really cool stuff on the wall if you bother to look. Bartender served a great canned beer. Great dive.

One night in Carmel and stumbled across this bar and had an unexpected fab time. Low key, met loads of lovely friendly locals and had great fun. Parker, the owner, was a true gent and went out of his way to make sure we had good fun and got home safely.. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area. Thanks Parker, aisling and dara

Good little bar to stop by if you want to get away from the tourists, crowds, and over priced nonsense of Carmel. Good place to talk to the locals. Took a nice little walk down to the beach at night afterwards. Good time
