I think he means Goatfeathers. BTW they serve alcohol to the under-21 crowd, according to my daughter who is under 21, so that's a plus for some, a big negative for others.

During one of my infrequent visits there, the three 16-18 year old boys sitting at the table next to us were about passed out. I think they were drinking margaritas. The boys were disgustingly drunk. They complained to the server quite often. They were even complaining to her that their drinks. When they stumbled away from the table I noticed they left the server a whopping one dollar bill for what must have been a drink bill of at least $50 judging from the empty glasses on the table, not to mention they each ordered dinner.

The Bait House didn't look open each time we drove by this past week. Friday night at 8:00 pm it was closed.

I think they are too short staffed to open for dinner. I understand they are open for lunch on select days, but they have not posted hours of operation. I went for lunch yesterday and they were closed. We have a major shortage of living places for the local workforce.

Personally, I think everyone would win if each major developer built employee housing on premises. They could charge rent to the employees to offset building costs and they could staff their operations. Maybe one day, they will wake up and smell the coffee. Until then, we are stuck with locked doors.

Nick's on the Bay is worth a drive. It's west of Freeport about 10 miles on Hwy 20.
