Seth certainly takes care of his dogs, which puts him in high regard in my book. One of the better places to get a beer on island, it is a regular stop for MJ and I.
I prefer the Isle seat

My only beef with Seth, if it's slow, he takes over the conversation. Other than that it's a great pitstop for all things bar food!!!
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

That is great when it comes to what he does for dogs but he might want to rethink his TripAdvisor responses. While I am not a huge fan at all of TripAdvisor, people do read it and his responses could likely turn many off.

We also thought the bartender/waiter was excellent, nice guy from North Carolina. Everyone from North Carolina is nice That could be debatable.😉

I find many of his responses hilarious. You know others wish they had the guts to respond like he does.

His choice but I think it alienates a LOT of people. I also think he must solicit positive reviews as he had a lot of them in mid-April. Coincidence? Who knows? His business, his choice.

Not to be critical but it's Dinghy Dock, not Dingy (entirely different meaning). And, yes, we always enjoyed the OP location - there was a path from Les Balcons.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

Of course it wasn't necessary, but if I misspell something I appreciate a correction. And most people probably do. Lighten up.

Yes - you are being critical. Obviously everyone posting knew what bar I was referring to, Was it necessary to point out a typo? Since you enjoy Seth's raw humor that spell check shouldn't have bothered you.

Anytime a sentence starts with "not to be critical" or "I hate to do this" or "with all due respect" you know that nothing good will follow. If you are aware of that in the first place, and if that is how you feel you must start the sentence...then the best bet is JUST DON'T!! It will not be well received, and you are an a** for doing it. Did someone pi** in everyones cornflakes this morning? lol I love Seth at Dinghy Dock. He is an advocate for the dogs and cats, allows the bar to be used for fundraisers that several of my island friends sponsor. I held a cocktail party somewhere, and after the fact he let me know tha I could have gotten supplies from him at wholesale, which would have helped me save money. Back during COVID when you needed printed proof of your test results, he has also printed them out for us, on our way to the airport. He is kind and giving. You just have to get to know him. As Kim said, "acquired taste". The fact that he made sure her daughter got home safely speaks volumes in my book. And you can't beat the specials they have! Recently it was an all you can eat mussels night. The Friday night steak specials with a baked potato and salad are a bargain! And with the price of chicken wings these days, the wings night must be a loss leader for Dinghy.

Still finding this this thread entertaining, did any of you that don't like the place ever think that he possibly doesn't care if you go there or not? As for his business acumen, he is still standing and rolling along and has a loyal customer base, he has his niche and it works for him. Seth seems to find some good staff as well. This is a place that we don't plan on going but end up there unless I need a beer fix, works for MJ and I.
162 days until back on island, hope to see you there Kim! Based on our last trip however we will find out that you were there and I was a few steps down at Lal's!
I sure hope I did not mishpell anything!
I prefer the Isle seat
