Or maybe just bar... for the life of me, I could not find a "grill" anywhere in this place. But then again, it doesn't really need one with Angelo's right across the street. The Strand seems like a really cool place. The bartender was a cool older lady who seemed real friendly but I didn't get her name. Seems like it is a real neighborhood place with working folks and surfers as the primary customers. The outside looks very intimidating but once you get inside there is a lot of room and a big bar. Entertainment consists of 2 pool tables, an electronic dart board, an Elvis pinball machine, a cd jukeboss (classic rock mostly), and 5 TVs including one large nice LCD on the wall behind the bar. This is a beer and wine bar and they have a good selection of brew on tap including "The Strand Amber" which was pretty tasty. Overall, it seems like a cool place to stop for a beer and shoot some pool.
