      I have a titanium rod through my leg because I was in a motorcycle accident... first guy/ bouncer asked me if I'm "okay" in a aggressive tone. I say; "yes of course" he says "okay, I just have to check you know that's my job." I'm walking... next employee / bouncer does the same exact thing. Then I say "why do you have to ask these questions in the aggressive tone... I am a customer.?!? Is this customer service? As I explained I have a hard time walking. Quote on quote I ask," is this your customer service? "He says "you're out!" I say fine.

      This is ridiculous; it was a trashy place in the first place.

      I've been coming to Beachball for over five years and I've always loved experience, and once Aaron started working there, he really added a personal touch. Always making us feel safe and making sure that how we left with a smile on our face.


      Can't wait to come back and hangout! Will come back to say hi to Aaron!

      Also ps , love that you guys open so early hahaha

      The bartender is extremely rude, and when I was trying to explain my order, he was not listening to me, and he was changing the prices on the drinks
      I was getting the same drink why were the prices changing ?
      I went there on a Tuesday evening

      Aaron has always been a welcoming face and always took care of us. The service and atmosphere at this place is always great. Locals still love it even though it's in the heart of tourist central.

      Beach Ball vs. Blackie's....it's so close. Both are great bars, but I give Blackie's a slight advantage, primarily because of the obnoxious bouncers at Beach Ball.

      Anyway, Beach Ball is an incredible bar with a great location. After walking up a few stairs, you enter the small bar area perched above the sidewalk. With a rounded bar there are a good number of barstools available. Friendly service once you're in. Downstairs there are a couple pools tables and a few other seating options. Love Beach Ball and am super thankful they've been able to remain in their location.

      Great energy! Great bar! Great staff! Just good vibes all around ...... also if you're too inebriated (time to go) you'll get kicked out. Just be cool and respect ‍

      Recently witnessed a few girls drink toooo much and blamed others . Act right and this place will be super amazing

      Didn't seem to care about the hrs they posted they locked the doors early and snubbed me when I called
      Don't waste your time

      Bar is ok small with poll Tables, no DJ, bartender kind and vibe pretty much what you make of it, TouchTunes DJ at a cost. However the door person is rude w/ a chip on their shoulder. First he was not present at the door as we walked in, we immediately were greeted by the bar and our drink order was taken along with our ID check, shortly after door guy walks w/ terrible attitude as if we walked in legally or something of such. Furthermore, as we attempted to make the best of our night there, my girlfriend had placed her head down from a headache without any visible sign of intoxication, and this guy aggressively harassed us leave. I have never felt so uncomfortable and bullied by a grown adult male. I will never return nor would recommend it.
