Great little local bar! The decor is too boring to call it divey but the fish tanks behind the bar give you something living to star at if the east side locals don't do it for you, haha! I love...

The drinks are yummy and so is the hottie bartender Laura. She's just the sweetest. She recommended a fan favorite for a cocktail and I must say, it was delish.

Clean, laidback spot with excellent service from the bartender. There's pool tables, darts, and a small couch lounge area as well. Not sure why it's rated so low

Why did it take me this years old to realize what amazing tiki drinks Castaways has?!?! I strongly feel this is the most underrated bar in town. $12 gets me a Mai Tai that is hands-down the best...

Super cool dive bar! Cheap well drinks, friendly locals, and two pool tables. The waitress was very friendly as well!
