Coot's Lounge

I've hung out here for a drink or two many times over the past few summers.  It is what you'd expect in a beach bar.  It has an awesome location.  The crowd is varied but reasonably friendly.  They had SON OF A PEACH ON TAP, which was amazing... we killed the tap, sorry.  Their bottled beer selection is good, too.  The bartenders are friendly and attentive!  The music ...  eh, sometimes that can be annoying.

I'm not sure why this place is currently listed as CLOSED, because we were just there last week. Anyway, it's basically a dive bar with a cool deck out back that juts out into the ocean. If you lean over the rail at night it's like leaning your head into a black abyss. Pretty freaky.

The bar itself offers all the top dive bar amenities: pool, juke box, and even Golden Tee. But unfortunately the prices are not dive bar worthy. I guess that's because it's a vacation beach bar.

When we went it was the weekly karaoke night, but nobody was singing. Literally, the only guy singing was the guy that was running the karaoke night. And although he wasn't terrible, it would have been nice to have somebody, ANYBODY else up there. I guess I can't complain about that too much because I didn't sing either.

One thing I will say, it seems like they have a energetic and peppy group of bartenders. I'm sure they drive the locals gaga with their Coyote Ugly looks and style.

Oh, and there's some cool massaging salts in the WAY-too-nice bathroom.

But even with those pluses, I can't get over the $3.50+ bottles and the $6+ vodka drinks. If you want to go cheap, you can do $1.50 PBR drafts, but...... Nah.
