Serving tasty menu items such as pizza and burgers, the staff offers great drinks and friendly service. First-timers are soon old friends, sharing fish stories and good times. Owner Jack Haire, a longtime resident and the famed Jack on the sign, is in the building most nights, adding to the festive atmosphere. “I serve people great food and drinks, and give them a place to listen to music and shoot pool. The fun just happens,” Jack said. Recently opening a second location in the Campeche Cove shopping center, conveniently located near the beautiful Moody Gardens Hotel, Jack has seen success on both sides of the island. “We have a smaller menu on the West End, but we’ll be adding to it soon,” Jack said.
