Sail inn — Restaurant in Delray Beach

Disappointed in a place I once trusted

I’ve been going to Sail Inn for years. I’m not a big drinker but I’ve always liked bringing friends here when they’re in town, especially fellow Veterans as I’m a combat vet from Iraq. I used to trust this bar. Unfortunately, after what happened recently, I won’t be going back.

After picking up my son who had just returned from military service, we stopped at Sail Inn around 1 AM for a round of drinks before everything closed. The new bartender Kyle offered us a round of drinks in recognition of our military service. I took him at his word, assuming it was a genuine gesture.

By the time we closed out at 2 AM we had only ordered four beers and two shots. The tab came out to 90 dollars but I didn’t have my glasses and couldn’t read the receipt clearly. I just signed it and added a 20 dollar tip thinking the total was much lower. Only later did I see that I was charged 110 dollars which is way too much for what we had.

I reached out to the manager Tracy who was there that night and gave me her number. She told me Kyle lives with her and the other bartender. I left her a message explaining the issue but she never responded. That silence says everything I need to know.

It’s not about the money. I can afford it. It’s about trust and principle. This bar used to feel safe and honest. Now it feels like a setup. If you go, check your receipt carefully and keep track of your order. I won’t...

We were down south visiting our family for Thanksgiving and chose a great air bnb. When we got to the house we were very excited to see a "dive bar" right across the street. When we got there it looked like your average dive bar which was perfect for us. Once we sat down we were mocked by what I assume to be the locals and the bartender who didn't even look at us until we made sure he saw us. It was obvious that he ignored us because we weren't local, meat heads or young underage girls. We are dive bar fans but this place sucked. When we got up from our barstools to walk outside they flipped our chairs and made jokes as we walked away. This ruined our night and made us not want to return to this bar. The double poor was also weak for the...

Awesome local dive bar with a fun and lively vibe. Right off the bat, I like the ring toss in lieu of darts. However, the real entertainment is the security camera for the smoking out back. It's unclear to me whether or not the staff monitors it but considering the flatscreen is smack dab in the bar area, there are plenty of other eyes on the screen. What I really love is how social everyone is in the smoking area. I was visiting from out of town and everyone made me feel right at home. Can't wait...
