What reviewers say
Visitors often praise The Clipper as a friendly local hangout with good bar food and plenty of TVs for games, and some mention good drinks and karaoke. However, a significant complaint is that some drinks, including jello shots, are perceived as watered down, and one reviewer noted the bar is cash only.
