The definition of a dive bar. Low ceilings, dark and and cheap beers. This place starts hoping after 12 so if you want to avoid crowds go before then. Open late and highly recommended if looking for a real dive bar experience.

Very touristy but cool place. Courtyard is beautiful and the Hurricanes are delicious and dangerous. The place is actually three bars in one. Piano bar (gets crowded but can be a fun time at night), the patio and the other bar to sit and chill. GO during the day or early to avoid crowds.
