SHITTYSERVICEANDRUDESTAFF. Food was garbage. The only reason this place is in business is because of its patio and that it’s on the beach. I over heard a guy complaining about his beer prices too — over pricing beverages is probably how they stay open! Oh and this was when it was not busy, so no excuse for the bad service

Lets face it. The place is a dump. Over priced drinks, Meatheads and bimbos everywhere. The food sucks, its all fried crap. You never know, you might be one of the lucky ones like I was that gets your credit card info ripped off, then you get hit with a $ 300 bill for Jimmy Cho shoes the next afternoon! What a place!

I have been living in Washington DC for three years. Don’t worry, this has a point. Any way, I live in DC which is not exactly known for being cheap. Just the same, I had to laugh, when, recently, reading a review where someone was complaing about 5 dollar Miller Lites at a nightclub in DC. Miller Lite is basically the lowest of the low beers, so I understand the reviewers frustration. Even by American Lager standards, this is bad, pee water really. But that review reminded me of an even worse trangression of overpriced swill. And here is the point: I remember coming here just once(thankfully) with a friend when I was 22(7 years ago) and paying 7 dollars for a miller lite! Wow! Did the fancy looking blue bottle make it taste any better? All sarcasm aside, Nope, not all, still swill water — so why should you pay 5 or even crazier, 7 dollars for the worst lager you can get? Not sure, but this place, which I am ashamed to say, is a part of my hometown, is highway robbery. I guess enough frat boys on summer vacation with mommy and daddys money come here to keep it open. Honestly, the worst of the worst in the CT area seem to descend on this place, which I guess is not the bars fault, but still. There is no excuse to justify the crazy prices for drinks here because this is probably the worst portion of beach in Old Lyme and Soundview is always littered with trash and beer bottles from«city»(out of town) folk who seem to have no respect for any enviroment that is not there own. 7 dollars for a miller lite, even though it was 7 years ago, will always stick in my mind because it was just so high for a beer and I shudder to think of what the price might be these days. Somehow, this is a weird mix of high prices mixed with an overall trashy vibe but with the aforementioned frat boys with mom and dads money — odd place. would 100% pass on this rip off place!

I used to live in Old Lyme. i do not like this place. The music is loud, the people are less than appealing and it has a rep for serving underage kids — which is not something i condone. My friend used to be a doorman — him and his friend got stabbed — yes with a knife — yes in Old Lyme. A drunk guy came out and was unhappy, so he pulled a knife on innocent employees. This place brings trouble where it is not wanted and is just plain loud. Dude, Brah, i know you think its super cool, but seriously, there must be better places.

When you’re at Soundview Beach, this is the place to be. If you want a place to hang out, bikini clad there really is no better place in the area. They have lots of activities all summer: DECENTBANDS, liquor promotions, dance contests, beach volleyball… They also have outdoor seating with a gorgeous view of the Long Island Sound and raw bar which always scores points with me. Now why the three stars? Last time I was there I could not get service. No matter how hard I tried, the bartenders would not offer me a drink. When I finally asked for the manager, it turned out that she was one of the bartenders and claimed that she«hadn’t seen me.» I was wearing a green polka-dotted dress for goodness sake and practically climbing over the bar! She did give me a drink for free, but then when the bill came, somehow I was charged for two drinks that I had never had the opportunity to order! I’ve never left a day at the beach as angry as I was that day. And quite honestly after that experience I would probably rate it even lower, but it does have some redeeming qualities and the service isn’t always bad(when my friends are working). Plus I do liquor promotions there, so I can’t totally bash it.
