Swiss flags crackle and pop in the ocean breeze, suspended over tables full of tourists and locals--folks united in their quest for a 17-ounce ale and bratwurst. Friendly staff and pool tables are certainly a big draw here, but the real attraction is being seated on the patio at the exact moment when the sun kisses the ocean each night and a round of applause breaks out.
