Mermaid House

OK - as promised I revisited the place within the six months and will update my review
The have definitely changed the appearance - new paint, new signage - austere compared to the old appearance, but nice and simple and a 60+ inch TV - bathrooms have received some work but need more    
It was still guy behind the bar, girls are working only on 'busy nights' and the scheduled lady was out of town and it was the same guy as last time, but we had a few laughs about our last encounter
I did notice a good Friday & Saturday crowd when I drove by on other occasions (at least on night is reggae per owner) but I have not been there at those hours - It's a younger crowd than I may fit in to.
So we'll bump it up to 3 + till I get there  on a better night
But it was cool this time I , staid for 2+ hours and I again there is hope for this , even on my list

I just checked out Mermaid House for the 1st time!!! It's an awesome dive bar a great place to hang out with friends and play free pool. They also have a great patio with new furniture. The bar has a really cool theme---underwater, hence the name--Mermaid House. Also, the drinks are cheap!  I will definately be back soon.

The Mermaid House is a diver's dive bar. This place used to be a different bar, but definitely not as cool. From the Mark V over the front door to the sweet mermaid art over the bar.

Free pool, free wifi, darts, a decent patio, coupled with a few HD TVs make you reconsider the dive feel, but the military dive decor suggests otherwise.

The staff is very friendly, Anne was a great bartender and knew her beers very well. The weekly deals are pretty swell too, come in and ask about them!
