Boring night, nice server
I visited on a Saturday night and found the experience to be quite boring. The restaurant was playing 70s music, and there was hardly anyone there. Despite the lack of atmosphere, the servers were nice.

Perfect pint, happy pirate!
I popped in for a pint and it was perfect. Any pirate would be happy to drink here. The service and atmosphere were both rated a perfect 5 out of 5.

Hidden Gem with Great Food and Music
I'm surprised it took me so long to visit this place. While the exterior doesn't reveal much, the interior has been significantly transformed since it was Vidiot. The food is exceptionally good, and they maintain their pinball machines well. The bartender with long red hair has excellent taste in music, contributing to a perfect, relaxing Sunday stop.

Unacceptable Bouncer Behavior
My experience at this bar was extremely negative due to the bouncer. He was clearly intoxicated, acting like a "booze-hound, " which made my entire group feel uncomfortable. He was too drunk to properly check IDs and wasn't even at the door when we arrived. To make matters worse, he kicked our whole group out after only five minutes, despite us having full drinks on our table. I will never return to this bar and strongly advise others to avoid it.

Delicious late-night eats and great service!
My experience at this restaurant was fantastic! The bartender was incredibly nice, and we arrived late. We enjoyed playing pool and arcade games. The late-night kimchi mac and cheese was absolutely delicious and truly made our day.

Cool Pirate Theme with Great Chicken Sandwich
My experience at this restaurant was quite enjoyable. The atmosphere is a super cool pirate theme with big booths that are great for larger parties. They also have a pool table and classic arcade games, adding to the fun. A notable aspect is their connection with a restaurant next door, which serves an incredible chicken sandwich. I'd advise caution with the extra hot option unless you're truly brave. The service and food were rated a 5, and the atmosphere also received a 5.

Delightful Haven for a Parched Pirate
As a parched pirate, I found this port bar to be a delightful haven. The friendly staff serving icy beverages were a welcome reprieve, and the dim lighting evoked the comforting ambiance of a ship's lower decks. My experience was overwhelmingly positive, with excellent service and atmosphere.

Excellent Service from Shane!
My experience at the restaurant was fantastic, largely due to the exceptional service provided by Shane. He was a "hoot" and incredibly attentive throughout my visit. Shane skillfully managed the bar while also engaging with guests, demonstrating great multitasking abilities. I give "2 thumbs up" for Shane!

Exceptional Bartenders and Dream Team Staff!
My experience at Benbow was absolutely exquisite. The bartenders, Shane and Kat, were incredibly professional and truly the life of the party. I'm so impressed with the staff that I will be coming back every week and will definitely be leaving my home bar for Benbow! Danielle, the bar manager, has assembled a true dream team. The staff here consistently goes above and beyond for the guests 💜.
