Crescent Lake Inn J & L: Reviews & Ratings
Great food and drink. Weird sewage smell coming from kitchen though. Pool tables and bar was clean.
My favorite dive bar. Cheep beers and food. Great bang for buck. Great staff and great clientele.
Accommodating, open when the storms come and the power is out. Offer nightly events (live bands, pool, and has AMI music/not TouchTunes) for all your music, festivity needs. Service with character. They'll remember your name, and you'll remember theirs and for whatever reason you can think of. Drive safe! If you're feeling groggy, Uber is on them. Maybe you are overly cautious, day out on the boat, just want to be safe or got left behind with your group who had it all planned to leave your ass, CLI has your back on getting home safe! Food: don't be annoying and make your own meal, even though they seem to accommodate and make it just as good as your expectations, you'll get an attitude for deciding to not cook at home and come to make the kitchen your bitXh. Pizzas, large and hand made, wraps (just as amazing and grill pressed) salads, not just your average bar food! The popcorn shrimp and specials are even more of the plus's to the menu options. And the kitchen is open until 1am!! (as of 2023) so get your late night munchies on. The staff is fun, you have to take time to get 'involved' it's a not dive, dive'y vibe bar. They don't take sh!t. People here work for a living, serving the community who also works for a living. Good people, even better times and an environment that's welcoming. That being said. DO NOT COME HERE if you don't like loud music in small places. The previous reviews are damn idiotic. They advertise they have band nights. You can see it's a small venue. Use common sense or don't but, don't waste your time here when they have more in town to offer than other competitors. For all the people who commented it's dark. Yes, it's across from the water with no trees in an open parking lot. There's plenty of windows that let ample daylight in during the day. At night. It's fuxking dark?! Remove the perforated window film? Who requests this!?? If you're out at night, at a dive'ish bar, the last thing you're asking for is the lights to be on. This ain't your damn boat dock on a first date. Get your life in order and enjoy a damn bar for what it is. A bar not a night club. No disco balls, laser lights or your moms living room on netflix and chill night. Reasonable pricing, a great place to take kids during the day (not after 6) and don't just walk in expecting it at to be a VFW catering to auxiliary members (you know who you are) this is not that place. Try it out or don't either way, they'll be open serving the people and community who supports this place so, check your attitude and sh!t reviews at the door. A face value venue with over the top options just, be open to experience and people. Keep it simple, stupid. Shout out to: Sam, Chelsea and Victoria! Ask for them, they're great .. most of the time =]
Cool little dive bar, 2 pool tables and only $1 a game. Didn't have any food but the drinks were good and the bartender was very attentive. Also one of the few bars open late in the area. Looking forward to going back.
Best dive bar with the best prices. The food is homemade and super yummy.
Great Neighborhood bar. Friendly Staff & Customers. Tasty food & drinks. Entertainment fun!
Great food and staff. Good drinks and have live music on Saturday nights and karaoke on Thursday and Friday
