The Duck Tavern

This bar is good enough that I bought a shirt for half-priced Mondays. It's my "local" bar within walking distance, and I'm happy to have it. They have a nice beer selection and the staff is very friendly, remembered my name on my second visit friendly, so I made it a point to get to know everyone's name at the bar by my third visit. The crowd is an interesting mix of mostly locals, and they have a variety of special events and drink specials through the week to keep things interesting. The "bar food" is not much outside what is to be expected by bar food, though if you get there early they have quite the sandwich selection. I've seen reviews that their wings are good, but I would disagree. If you want wings, go to Hurricane's Grill, Hooters, or Big Joes. I'm a fan of the Duck, but wings are some serious business and I've been consistently disappointed by the wings here.

Average Food, Average Prices, Average Experience.

.................... People watching, to the max!
The Duck gives way to a much older crowd with an upbeat vibe. Reminded me of Dicey's in down town Ft. Lauderdale, but much, much smaller. The drinks are pretty cheap and there was a live band playing.
You're likely to find retired frat boys in their late 30s to early 40s who are still trying to live out their college years. You might also run into your parents or your parents friends here getting shwasted and you may or may not run into your dads single friends hitting on single moms (at least I hope they were single). I also noticed that the ratio of men to women was waaaay off!

The Duck is iight-- not my first pick of places to hang out, but, to each his own.
