What it's Like
Hogs Breath Saloon consists of a restaurant, gift shop and a large outdoor bar. Live bands play at night
attracting a crowd in from the street. You can sit outside at the bar if you are eating along with the drinks,
but if you want to just stop in for a drink, plan to stand at the bar which gets very crowded once the music
starts. The bar makes for a nice stop even during the day because there are large trees providing shade for
the bar and they also have several fans. The bar gets a wonderful breeze since it is on a corner the breeze
was blowing from two directions.
Drinks
They had several drink specials all which were $8.00 for the first glass and $6.00 for each refill. The
first drink came with a souvenir glass so we ordered a few of those. I had the Rumrunner and the general
consensus was that the drinks did not have any alcohol in them. We switched to beer for our second round.
Food
We wanted some oysters from their raw bar but they were out of oysters that night. The waitress suggested
the "peel and eat" shrimp so we ordered that instead. We also ordered the "Awesome" Smoked Fish Dip for $6.95
which was made with five ounces of hickory smoked dolphin in a creamy dip and is served with crackers. I
expected it to be the consistency of pate or a cream cheese dip, but it was runny and the consistency of
ground tuna. It was tasty all the same and we ordered a second plate of shrimp because they fresh!
