I love this place! They've got this really cool game — there is a a hook attached to the wall and a ring attached to a string hanging from the ceiling 2-3 feet back. The goal is to get the ring on the hook. You pull the ring back and release it with a slight sway to the side and hope it catches on the hook. Hours of fun! The drinks are well made and reasonably priced.

The staff and guest are well mannered. It’s a great mature environment. The area is a safe place. It’s clean and the drinks are made with love. You won’t feel rushed. How much you spend always depends on how much you feel like drinking.

these guys are AMAZING. my bestfriend had a horrible 21st birthday party and these people went above and beyond to make it the best night ever. we made connections with the staff that i’ll never forget. I highly recommend this place to anyone who needs a good drink and some great conversation. 🩷

There isn't any food offered but I gave it 5 stars anyways because most bars don't have food. So it doesn't make a difference. This place has a laid back and family vibe. Most people here are regulars and are very welcoming of newcomers. Great selection and great prices.

Bartenders learned my name first night and continue to catch up with me. They have real dart board, good music, and good crowds throughout the week. I bring dates here a couple times a month and always have a good time. Do it.

New owners are doing a great job. New interior, new & more TVs, and Stevie the bartender is fabulous. Cannot wait until it is fully open with inside seating!

Bartender kicked out a drunk guy who grabbed me before I had a chance to react. That has never happened before in any bar I’ve been to in the bay. I felt so protected and safe. This bar will forever be my first choice.

The OG swell bar was a classic dive bar, in the best way. Then it changed owners, they did a millennial gray renovation, got rid of most of the mermaids and added sports bar TV's. The opening weeks were rough, new bartender girlies looked barely old enough to drink, and were so drunk themselves they couldn't serve anyone, one was throwing up, and the other sat on the floor. They couldn't find anyone's cards to close out, didn't serve anymore drinks. A bar patron jumped in to help so we could get outta there. Also since the bouncer had been let go, a fight broke out. That was a few years ago. Went there again, and was pleasantly surprised! Jukebox. And Long Drink, yay! Met the new owner, he's now personally involved, and not living far away. We had a lovely time, will come again.

It was a quiet night there, we were able to talk without raising our voices, and Bridget was extremely attentive as our bartender.

I had been to this bar on previous occasions for a pint and to throw steel tip darts, however, yesterday with the same goal in mind, I found the bar had removed it's dart boards and no longer offered this activity. Needless to say, I was a bit disappointed (the online listing for the bar still says they have darts)...BUT it's still a good local pub, and they do now have a pool table. I ended up playing a few games of pool with one of the other patrons. Bartender Steve was great.

Great dive bar, good drinks, good service! Perfect for that last drink in your way home. Seems like a place full of regulars. Good vibe.

I don't go too bars but this place was nice for a whole in the wall and a quick meet up in back area. They have a dart game in the back that was fun to play. Also lots of board games. Also ppl can watch sports here. Drinks was nice. I had a glass of 🍷.

A nice chill place to hang out. Happy hour prices were reasonable, but the bartender refused to make the daily special (“I don’t make that”) and made other drinks poorly/inconsistently without measuring. Would return but avoid bartender who caused problems.

Went in on Saturday afternoon around 3pm on 12/3. The bartender was drinking behind the bar, granted there was only 3 other people in the bar, but the kicker was that he continously made jokes about my friend even after the situation had been made awkward and everyone on the room could feel it. The worst part is he tried to blame his autistic ways for acting like such an @$$. Never going to patronize this place ever again. That bartender should be fired.

Wow wow wow! I came here to celebrate my friend's bday party with her friends. Everything was good until the bartender ruined it. She insulted my best friend and her FAMILY. She was insulting other people and going around yelling at people. And the worst part is, She even made our precious bday girl cry because of her disgusting attitude. She needs to be reprimanded and she needs to learn her lesson. I know this bartender and I've had issues with her in the past and I swallowed it with a grain of salt. But because of what happened today, I have 0 respect for this person. Ill never ever go to a bar where she is working, period.
