Such a great experience at the Barefoot Bar! We hosted a promotion party here and everything was seamless. Dustin, the bar manager, went above and beyond to make sure our group was taken care of. The atmosphere is beautiful, service was fantastic, and it made for a really special celebration. Highly recommend for events or just a great night out!

All about the location. Great vibes, comfy and quiet considering it’s mostly military. Prices are standard and tough if you aren’t military. Hotel is like a campus, fun to explore. Great spot to spend a few hours going between the beach and the bar.

Always a delight. Today was a quick bevy with an amazing view. Previous visits have been for sunset drinks. The atmosphere, live music, and sunset views are worth the trip.
