Castaways Lounge

Tacky Tiki Bar, but you are at the beach so it's perfect! Come for the drinks, stay to gaze at the GORGEOUS bartender Hunter, giggle at the bad karaoke and have fun!

My recent trip to St. Simons was made so much better with a trip to Castaways!  We were visiting a friend on the Island and I got a tip that there was a really fun bar there that was as close to a gay bar the famously Republican island has ever had.  We first stopped in late on a Thursday and there wasn't too many people there.  We sat down at the bar and the female bartender (I wish I could remember her name) greeted us and took some time to talk to us.  That's a dying art in some places.  We had a couple of vodka cranberries and a rum and coke.  Served in big plastic cups and perfectly made, we settled in. You could tell that this was a place the locals hang out in.  We were told by a young lady at the bar that on Saturday night there would be a big birthday party for the owner, so be sure to come back for that.
When we came back on Saturday the bar was packed and people were singing karaoke. We were greeted at the door by the young lady who told us to come back.  It turns out she was one half of the owners.  She told us Dot was her name and that was the theme, dots! The bar was covered in polka dots and many of the patrons were wearing polka dotted clothes.  We had so much fun and everyone seemed to genuinely like Dot and her business partner, Josh.  She told us they did theme parties all the time and the bar was a perfect place to have them. If you want a fun time on the island and don't like pretentious atmospheres, come to Castaways!  I wish I lived on the island so I could come here more often and become one of the colorful regular!
