If you like wearing black or tattoos definitely the Westport bar to go to. It's got darts and pool with the best bartenders in Westport

This place is a tried and true, dyed in the wool, classic dive. Bar staff is patient while also to the point, they’re not in the business of wasting time. Buzzard Beach came recommended to us over the years when seeking the type of dive that requires one to bring their own lime—and each time they deliver. Ian makes for a tremendous experience. He is personable, polite, professional and timely. I mention him specifically by name as for whatever reason his name stuck with us. Every staff member we met on a Saturday night was wonderful! This is a place for all types, and will always be a frequent spot whenever we visit the area.

Immaculate. Everyone here knows everyone. Cool door guys and bartenders. The place looks a bit rough but give it a chance and you'll see why most of the people in that place are there all the time.
