I cannot express how thankful I am for the team at The Folly! Aron was extremely kind, responsive, and attentive throughout my entire party planning experience and that same level of care was continued by the rest of the staff throughout my event. My guest and I had an amazing time - great vibes, great music, great drinks. I will definitely be hosting my birthday here again next year! New favorite bar:)

Overall rating: 4.7 Cute, ship themed cocktail bar. Best solo, with a group of friends or even on a date! I just realized I didn’t take a picture, but the drink I had was not good. I either had the Horn Blower or the Fall in Love and I think the combination of favors didn’t work out. I do like the spot for a Sunday afternoon date or a date spot. There are some seat swings that are so cute. Recommend giving it a try!

Owner was super sweet and engaging with customers. Food is amazing especially the fries. The Photo Booth is super cute and fun but definitely would recommend eating here 🙂

Stopped in here for a birthday nightcap for my partner’s special day! We’ve had our eye on the unique nautical design for a while and were so glad we decided to stop in. We were warmly greeted by Justine behind the bar upon arrival, who proceeded to be an absolute gem and huge part of our evening. Such a personable, kind being! We were delighted by the hospitality displayed by both her and the manager, John. They also have a proper photobooth that develops the images old-school style, which is in excellent working condition and provided us with beautiful sweet prints to commemorate our evening. The painkiller was beyond delicious, as were the other cocktails we tried. Overall, we had a wonderful and memorable evening here and will certainly be coming back! Thank you to the team for your caring touches. :)

Tucked away with coastal charm and laid-back vibes, The Folly is the kind of place that turns a casual meal into a mini getaway. From the second you step in, you’re hit with that breezy beach-town energy—easygoing, vibrant, and totally unpretentious. But don’t let the chill atmosphere fool you—this spot knows how to bring serious flavor. Let’s start with the Painkiller—a tropical cocktail that lives up to its name. Made with a smooth blend of rum, pineapple, orange, coconut cream, and just the right touch of nutmeg, it’s the kind of drink that makes you forget your to-do list and contemplate moving somewhere warmer. It’s sweet, strong, and dangerously easy to sip. If paradise had a signature cocktail, this would be it. And then there’s the burger—juicy, bold, and built for indulgence. It’s stacked high with all the classics, but what sets it apart is the attention to detail: perfectly toasted bun, crisp lettuce, melty cheese, and a patty that’s cooked to juicy perfection. It’s the kind of burger that silences the table because everyone’s too busy enjoying every bite. The Folly strikes the perfect balance between comfort food and coastal flair. Whether you’re just stopping by for a drink or settling in for a full meal, it’s got that unforgettable flavor-meets-feel-good combo that keeps you coming back. If you’re looking for a spot that delivers both vibes and taste—this is it.
