Local dive bar with beach volleyball court that sees lots of activity. The food, drinks, and atmosphere are pretty typical of a beach bar. Fun place to just hang with friends and drink cheap beers. Not for kids and smoking allowed inside, although, the windows and doors are usually also wide open so you can watch the matches from inside, too.

They have a bit of everything just as a hardware store should. Since it's only a mile and a half from the house, I always try there before I go another four miles to a big box store.
