For the last six years years we spent four weeks every year on Indian Shores and regard the Friendly Tavern as our local and go there most evenings. New years Eve there is always is always worth a visit.Staff on the outside bar are very friendly but rather sad to see that Jess no longer works there

Of special interest is the meeting at 10am on the second and fourth Thursday of every month by the crowd wearing the "Drunks for a better America " tee shirt. For $10 get you a drink and a tee shirt, current membership is 183.Sandie does a very good job behind the bar seeing that we are well supplied with our drinks.
