Quite big and busy, good choice of drinks, decent food.
Crowd is loud, live music is quite good. Works well for the lunch time too. Service is a bit slow. Recommend it for relaxed groups or couples looking for a laid back fun.

We stayed at the hotel next door and followed the music. We sat next to the ocean, drank beer, and had oysters, crab balls and wings. All was great while listening to a band. The waitress was great too. Loved it here.

The food here is very tasty and the portions are large. We had the fish and chips and were pleasantly surprised to be served three large delicious pieces of fish with a crunchy batter accompanied by homemade style fries. Our kids had pasta and chicken fingers and these were also very good and filling. The tables and chairs on the...

They have a Great Happy hour and the service is always good. Alicia was our server, She was attentive and beautiful. We saw two bands during our stay and they were both very good.

Our new place to go for great music and drinks. Can't beat the happy hour specials on oysters, wings and clams. Also $2 bottled domestic beer and $3 well drinks til 8pm.The only reason I didn't rate this as excellent, is that the service could be a bit slow, but the place was really busy! Lunch the next day was...

We had been enjoying the Neptune Festival and decided to get a bite to eat and enjoy an adult beverage. One of our favorite spots had a 45 minute wait so we decided to go across the street. I'm Glad that we did. Sitting on the patio, enjoying the people passing by and most of all, enjoying the wings, clams,oysters...

Ate here while attending the Va Bch Neptune Festival. Hot day so we looked for a place to eat inside. Very cool and comfortable in the a/c and ceiling fans on. Good Caribbean music playing but not so loud that you couldn't hold a conversation. I had the lettuce wraps interesting flavor provided by the Thai sauce. Spouse ordered the...

Typical outdoor bar, decent band Friday night, but they make no effort to keep crowd noise under control, so don't plan on sleeping before 2

Nice atmosphere, had a nice lunch out on the boardwalk. My seafood reuben was very good as was the sandwich the other person with us had, but the salad that my daughter ordered had a big piece of metal in it. To be fair, they gave her a new salad which she said was delicious and did not charge her,...

Being told a wait time of 2 hours for a table is a demoralizing experience, not once but twice both at the Calypso Bar and Grill and at the restaurant next-door, was ameliorated by a spot at the bar here. The restaurant was absolutely packed and we were at first disappointed by the lack of attention paid by the bartenders...

Great Spot

Right on the boardwalk and live music. The food was great. They had the best cajun chicken pasta I've had...ditto for the fish tacos. Great happy hour specials as well on beer and drinks. Will certainly return to this spot.

Service lacking

Even though the food was above average, the service was lacking. We saw waitress Cynthia every 10-15 minutes, had to wait many times. The drinks are served in various glasses, tacky. Especially the Rum runner specialty drinks. They are served in buckets which is a good concept except the buckets were grimey. GROSS!! Too bad, cuz they have good live...

The restaurant will quickly let you know they are not affiliated with the Grand Ocean hotel in any way. The food is really good and reasonably priced. The drinks were good and there was a Reggae band who did an almost 3 hour set.Very good entertainment for a Sunday night.

Not really much of a selection and the food wasn't worth the money they charge. I did enjoy the burger I had, but the fries are kind of gross and limp.

The service and food is poor but the location is great and the patio is the awesome. If they could get a better staff in place I would give this place ***** (five stars)

Great drinks. My husband and I went for drinks after dinner. We were wanting mojitos. We stopped in at 4 different bars on the beach and none of them served mojitos. Calypso had a variety of specialty mojitos and martinis. We each had 2 drinks, spent $32. We liked everything we had.

We stopped here for a drink and appetizer while walking the boardwalk. We sat outside, which was nice. We really enjoyed our food and drinks. I got a margarita and didn't realize it was $10 til I got the bill but it was so very good! All of us enjoyed our food.

They took 15 mins to even acknowledge us!! Acted like we weren't even there. When we finally said something, the girl said she wasn't our waitress.
