Tipsy Seagull

YEAH Tipsy Seagull!! We stopped at the Tipsy Seagull by chance around 3 on a Sunday afternoon... the weather had been iffy and overcast for the last few days and I had second thoughts of entering upon looking up at the sky, but as soon as we got out of the car the sound of the band ("Second Chance") playing surprisingly impressive covers of Kenny Chesney, Jack Johnson, the Beatles and the like -lured me in. I'm so glad we stayed - the weather cleared up, and it was such a nice change of pace from a routine visit to a  stuffy bar to being able to collapse onto a comfy couch and kick my feet up with a glass of wine, wind blowing in my hair, sun on my face, staring out at the water (though not the most scenic of views, you're looking right at the Braga bridge and the water towers ----these days when it comes to being near the ocean, I'll take whatever i can get!!)

A tiki-style bar complete with fake palm trees and cheesy lights. Great spot for people watching. For being such a dive, I was surprised at how clean the bathrooms appeared.

I ordered the grilled fish tacos and hubs had the lobster roll which was generously stuffed with lobster meat - he said it was great! Fish tacos were standard to sub-par and I had to go up and ask for the guac and sour cream which they forgot about, but I was so happy to be outside on the water listening to great music, I really didn't care too much about the food! I would not plan on going here with the sole intention of having a delicious lunch or dinner. If you are looking for a change of scene for an afternoon booze-fest or night out for drinks, definitely check this place out!

Tip -we noticed a sign upon leaving that noted no one under the age of 25 is allowed in on weekends after 7pm (to keep the college floozies from jumping in the bay??), and they also have dress code rules for guys - no tank tops, etc. - a guy wearing camo shorts was turned away. Make sure if you wear a hat that it is "appropriately curved",  and "worn correctly".

My boyfriend and I wanted to try this out after recommendation of a nice view and outdoor seating. We get in line after the bouncer, less than graciously, tells me I have to be 25 to get in. I turn around to look at the group of guys behind me who he did in fact let in who were clearly intoxicated, loud, and roudy. I'm not sure what the idea is behind the "25 rule" considering I was dressed nicely, sober, and we were a couple -- what did they think we were going to do? I don't know who thinks they can judge a person by their age considering the majority of the patrons inside of this place were in their 40s and acting like it was a frat party. Now, I'm all set with the place and will never return.

My hottie boyfriend and I went here last weekend and were turned away because he had on a brand new Boston hat. We waited in line for at least twenty minutes and as soon as we made it to the front, the guy checking i.d's notified my boyfriend he can't get in with his straight rim hat. What?!?! My boyfriend said he would just take it off and hold it, but the guy said no, we had to go put it in our car! We parked miles away because there was no parking. And why make us wait 20 minutes until we are about to get in, to tell us of your lame rule. Not cool...This guy saw us waiting in line.
So according to the owners rule; guys can get in wearing beat hats with bent rims, holes and faded colors that look old, worn out and cheap but denied entrance wearing a brand new hat? My boyfriend's hat was all black with the letter B on the front for Boston.
Who does the owner think he is with his dumb-ass rules. Total discrimination!
My boyfriend's a pilot, not a gangsta! We just left...decided to never come back to this place and we will tell everyone we know! I heard the owner is a cokehead and got beat up outside a bar in providence after he used the D list celebrity line to get in..."don't you know who I am?"  Classy!
