Editorial Review for Prince O Whales – by Lilla Zuckerman
The Scene
Ripped shorts and flip-flops are a-plenty at this no-frills, beach-side watering hole. Two cozy bar areas are connected by an outdoor smoking patio furnished with plastic picnic tables and rickety chairs. The decor isn't much to brag about; large-screen televisions, beer banners and dart boards adorn the bar areas. Locals play interactive trivia, cheer for their teams and chow down baskets of fried clams and chicken wings. Cheap American brew is on tap--fancy cocktails are rarely poured.
The Draw
Though this will never be a favorite spot for a girls' night out, it's the ideal place to grab a cold pitcher of beer after a day at the beach. On weekends, the place is packed with beach volleyball players and sunburned surfers. An inexpensive happy hour, daily menu specials and a cheerful and down-to-earth staff create a comfortable, if gritty, atmosphere.

Stay away during the nite! I live nearby and have witnessed a lot of boorish behavior at this place. However, the day crowd consists of leftover beach-bum drunks in their 60's who provide plenty of entertainment for free! Avoid the violence of the evenings by heading toward the Harbor Room just down the road. Management seems to have lost its grip on this joint.
Pros: smoking allowed on patio
Cons: patio connects closely to both parts of the bar...enjoy the plume during your meal/drink

This place is a dive, in a good way. The beer is cheap, I like the indoor-outdoor thing (I know some smokers) and did I mention the beer is cheap? We were there on a live music night, the band was pretty good- all in all, it's a great beach bar, laidback and no pressure. Yay!
Pros: Cheap, casual and fun
Cons: Parking can be annoying
