"My first time here- I love that there is a sand volleyball court. There was a game going on and it was great to be able to watch it while I waited for my food. The indoor dining has large doors that open into a patio which overlooks the sand volleyball court. I've been to bars before where the outside seating isn't as integrated and so I really appreciated this about Bristle Boar Saloon. I ordered a (spicy) Bloody Mary which would have been nice if it had have more garnish, there was only an olive and a pickled pepper. Unfortunately, it also wasn't spicy at all otherwise, as far as taste and alcohol content goes though, I am pleased in those categories. For food, I ordered the boar's breath burger. It has possibly become one of my top 5 favorite burgers of all time. I didn't have to add anything to it. My friends and I also shared some chicken tenders... which I was really impressed with. They were phenomenal!"

- Mai Y.

"Great bar. Quick and easy service to get drinks. Great music playing on jukebox. Pool tables were on free when we were there but are a little steep at $1.50 a game normally. 2 golden tee machines, 2 dart boards. Outdoor volleyball. Fries were good but the food is just prefrontal and cooked. Will go again. People were all personable and didn't treat us as outsiders."

- Jesse J.
