What To Expect

Sourdough Cocktail Bar

AKA The Shipwreck Bar. This is one of the Fishing Fleets favorite places to grab a drink and share stories. We’ll sample a house specialty or brew and peruse the amazing wall of shame of shipwrecked boats. You will also see amazingly large trophy fish and crab mounted on the walls.
