Windjammers - Salem

Always had a good time here with the regular bartenders Kim and Meaghan. Won't be going back again with Stephanie tending. First time I have ever been in with her there. Maybe she is new and will be part of the high turnover. Worst experience I have had anywhere. If you really don't like your job that much might be time for a change. Would probably steer clear on nights with no Karaoke. Unless your looking for a slow night with a bartender that would rather be anywhere else but there.

Been living in Salem for 10 years. Finally decided to check this place out because it's one of the few bars open after 10pm on a Saturday night. Yes, you read that correctly. Salem is pathetic. In one tiny section there were a bunch of really bad karaoke singers. When my friend and I walked, the female bartender looked at us the way people do in a small town when you're an outsider. Very cold. Not friendly at all. The well drinks were weak. I wouldn't have tipped her $1 on a $5 drink if I knew it would be mostly ice. It's essentially a dive bar. Sadly. Won't be back.

I visited WindJammer's last week with three friends. We were going to have a bite to eat and play their Golden Tee machine. The place itself is clean, rather dark atmosphere, cozy. I am a disabled person, suffering from a neurological disorder. I was greeted by a very snarky server who's name is Stephine. She instantly commented on why in the world was I wearing a light sweatshirt and gloves. Even though it may be a warm day I get cold easy especially going into a new environment that may have AC running cold. I ignored these initially comments and ordered a drink. My friends ordered their meals with one of them ordering a special to go. Stephine tells him, not nicely, that you cannot order a special to go but she will place the order and bring him a box. At this point she notices me sitting at the table but I don't have my shoes on. This is a result of my condition that it causes estreem pain. Stephine rudely and loudly says I have to have shoes on. I explain to her I'm disabled and confining myself to the table. She asks, do you have a permit? At this point I'm assuming she means a disable permit, which of course I do, however, I have no interest in doing anything at this point but leaving this very mean server. My friends embarrassed for me, pay up and we are getting ready to leave. Obviously this wasn't enough for Stephine who as I'm leaving says, again loudly, next time you come in here you better bring that permit, I'll not allow this to happen again. The food my friends had said was good. Nicely priced. Still the service cannot be forgiven by me. In all my dealings with Salem and may it be, bar, restaurant, or any establishment I have never been or seen a disabled person treated so poorly. If you are Disabled bypass WindJammer's or at least bypass Stephine.

This bar is better on nights it lets me down than most bars are on the best night ever. It's like Cheers had a baby with a minivan and you got to spend your time with that baby always feeling drunk attractive. It's cozy, loud, dark (but not scary dark). I came here after the first time I got scared by a gif set on /nosleep, and one time after a spider crawled over the back of my hand, just to feel safe. that's the kind of bar it is. I have been drinking here for damn near 10 years. This struck me tonight, I want to point out that it's really been the service for me from the very beginning the week I turned 21 I left a pair of heels here (ladies, you feel me) the bartender remembered my name when I came back for them the next evening. I still feel that cared for today, and every time I come here.

I am newly back to tow, and have had nothing but great experiences here. I 1st came here on a recommendation from my boyfriend. He comes different hours than I do, but had good things to say. I have come on mult days/times so far. Ben, Kim, Kelly, Stephanie, and Beth do a good job. They each have their quirks, but I have never found myself without drink or without good companionship. Great job guys!
