My father and I stopped here one night while out along the coast for a fishing trip. Had an amazing time. Made friends, played pool, and swapped stories with the locals. 6 draft beer is also hard to beat.

Lots of character and lots of booze! This bar looks like it’s straight out of 1892. Lots of old memorabilia from logging days past. This is a pretty great dive bar with all the essentials. There’s pool tables ski ball tables and darts. Plenty of room on the long bar and lots of places to stand and drink. The staff is super friendly and always has a smile on their face. Stiff drinks and a good beer selection. The bathrooms are not great but that’s expected at a dive bar.

Had one of the best Girls Night Out experiences ever at this bar! We were just passing through town and wanted some stiff drinks; this place did not disappoint! Super friendly staff, fun and interesting locals, and great drinks (even my water at the end of the evening was garnished with lemons and cucumbers)! If your bartender is the owner Michale, ask him about his muddling skills and tell him Erica says hi

Rolled into Fort Bragg on a Saturday night. Bar tender was super cool, and some people were very friendly, walking up and sitting next to me just to strike up a conversation. Felt like a good vibe here. Great selection of alcohol.

Enjoyed the place. Spent 3 nights in town and this was our favorite watering hole. Drinks were good and reasonable priced. Enjoyed the atmosphere and the bartenders were great to chat with. Pool and shuffle board.

Awesome it's like a time machine. They have pool tables and shuffle board, whatever that is. The only problem I had was when a Tracy Chapman song came on and there was no way tp stop it.
