Although I’m in Mango’s a couple of times a week, it’s been well over a year since I last visited Rock Lobster. Nothing wrong with the inside bar, I just prefer sitting beachside.
Actually, Marj knew me from the time she used to work at It Doesn’t Matter. My Biden-like brain didn’t really remember her though. She was also quite sweet and I enjoyed chatting with her. Only 20-years-old which surprised me. Smart and savvy, too. No kids and no intentions of ever being an unwed mother (that is something quite rare in this country). I teasingly asked if she wanted to come home with me on a barfine (paying the girl so she can leave work early) and she laughed and said no. She told me some girls do, but she is just here to waitress.
A nice and comfortable bar and a good place to hang out. Except the WiFi sucks. I do not understand how any hospitality business can not have good internet service this far into the twenty-first century. For some reason, even my data would not connect inside the bar (the WiFi in Mango’s beachside bar is also no good, but outdoors my data connects with no problem). Marj wanted to become FB friends but alas, we weren’t able to make a connection. Story of my life.
Otherwise, nothing bad to say about Rock Lobster. I still prefer beachside at Mango’s though.

What, no link to the “Rock Lobster” song (or to the various “Family Guy” versions of it)?
HaHa! I was not familiar with those songs. Hearing the B-52s I vaguely recalled hearing it. Never saw the Family Guy Version. Thanks for the education.

Thanks for the links. Good stuff!
John, I noticed the sign at the entrance to Rock Lobster indicated they had brew on Tap. I will always take draft beer over bottled. IMO, beer on tap just tastes so much better. I’ve even considered getting a kegerator for the home. Is beer on tap available in most juke joints or is Rock Lobster an anomaly? Peace Out!
Yeah, Rock Lobster seems like it has a nice ambiance. This seems to have the nicest inside of pretty much any of the bars you have reviewed.
But living where you are living, agree with the choice to be outside.
Soju, there are only a couple of bars that sell draft beer here. I’m a bottle guy and didn’t even look to see what brand they were pouring. I’ve seen Heineken and Mangers on draft in other places.
Brian, yeah, I didn’t remember how nice it was inside. They must have done some improvements since my last visit. I’ll be back again.
what became of the Devil’s Den? Bar I used to go when ship was in port.’90/’91
That was before my time, John Duke. Let me check with the old-timers and get back to you on that.
