While sitting at the bar here one evening, an extremely offensive anti-homosexual song was played (entitled "That S*** Aint Right). As I looked to see which small-minded individual had played such music, it turned out to be the owner himself. I asked if he had played it and he affirmed my suspicion. I asked if he could skip the song as I found it inappropriate and distasteful. I was told that I was being ignorant and that the owner could play whatever music he wanted in his bar. Of course he can. He can play any music he wants and deny service to whomever he pleases. I understand that other people have different beliefs than I do. However, as a patron of this establishment, I was asking the owner that he not make me feel uncomfortable and simply pass on to the next track. I was asking the owner himself to not be forced to listen to anti-homosexual propaganda as I enjoyed a drink in his bar. I was then told that if I dont like it, I can leave. The owner looked right at me, and shook his head in definitive agreement. I am not contesting the bar owners rights to do what he did. My point in sharing this is to make others aware of how I was treated at this place. I find the owner to be quite disrespectful, as he is clearly more interested in his right to play offensive music at his own bar than catering to his customers. He purposely created a hostile environment. And finally, he made the clear implication that his bar was not friendly to the homosexual community or those who support them.

I like to drink. Ive been going to the Duck Inn and its prior namesakes for many years. This is a bar where I can go and not feel judged. Im a very fair tipper because I know bartenders have to put up with a lot of crap, including my occasional nonsense. But Im bothered by the behavior of the owner of this establishment and felt it was time to voice my opinion. A few years back a very nice woman who hailed from Ireland that was delightful to speak with was at the bar and I asked the owner to buy her a drink. His response ~ "You dont need to buy her a drink, shes got cancer". Meanwhile, the woman was spending her time having some drinks as she enjoyed the the social atmosphere of an Irish pub. Shortly thereafter she succumbed to cancer. I never saw her again and thought who would want to deprive a dying person of any form of happiness, and who on this Earth would verbally shred any part of that persons dignity by making such a uncaring statement as such. Secondly, I have also caught the owner attempting to charge me for a bar tab that I clearly paid. What bothers me even more is that all drinkers ultimately form a bond with whoever serves them, and in this case, it was the owner who has a vested interest in his business. The bond is a relationship of trust and anyone who violates that trust has insulted or exploited someone who might not be thinking clearly. This man should not be running an establishment like this because he has taken disrespect to a new level.

July, 2012------ The Duck Inn is a neighborhood bar in the true sense of the word: many local regulars mix easily with first timers in its time-worn decor. The Duck motif is taken to surreal extremes, including their signature drink, The Fluffy Duck. ----- Its located at the foot of Mamaroneck Avenue by the entrance to Harbor Island Park, so parking is easier than farther up the Avenue, especially on weekends. ----- They recently introduced a bar menu with the typical items, and they have occasional specials like mussels. The burgers are truly Olympic size. Free homemade potatochips appear on the bar. Of course they serve Guinness. ----- Thursday night is Open Mic Jam Night, when local musicians set up to play blues, r&b and rock. New blood is welcome. Other live bands are booked irregularly. ----- Play some darts and watch a ballgame with a draft beer.

We were there in early April in 2013 on a Saturday night. The young lady bartender with dark hair, seemed more interested in talking than serving me and my group. And if we were able to get our orders in she had too much trouble getting it correct. We had to leave when it became only moderately busy. It was too much for her to keep up with the clienteles orders.

Varies with the crowd, but generally a fun, simple place with engaging staff (or the hilariously cuckoo owner, Jack) for when you are feeling a bit more serious about downing a few. Music ranges from death metal to Whitney Houston. Depends on who is Manning the juke box!

Barmaid was inappropriate and unprofessional, crown was pretty roudy and had to watch a middle age couple get to second base...Pretty uncomfortable. It was cheap though.
