42 Best Bar & Grill near Clearwater Beach

“Great afternoon with the bar staff and the views are fantastic!“

“Sophia was our server on 7/30/25 around 3:30 PM, and she was an absolute joy! She went out of her way to make our kids feel special, and her kind, caring attitude truly turned our day around after a disappointing experience at Eskpades. I understand both spots may be under the same management, and that’s fine—my previous review was simply to bring attention to how guests were being treated there.

This review, however, is to highlight the stellar service we received from Sophia at Doks. She completely redeemed our experience at Club Wyndham. The food was great, the drinks were even better, and the overall atmosphere has kept us coming back daily since Friday the 25th. They even bring food and drinks right to the pool!

Sophia’s service stood out so much that we felt compelled to write this. She’s a true asset to your team—thank you, Sophia!“

“🔥 Ashley Deserves a Shoutout

If you’re looking for a great spot on Clearwater Beach, Hurricane Eddie’s is the place, but the real reason to ask for a seat at the bar is Ashley!

Ashley was absolutely on point from start to finish. Great personality, hilarious, attentive without being overbearing, and somehow made the whole place feel like we were hanging out with friends. She kept the drinks coming, made sure everyone was taken care of, and brought an energy that made the entire experience better.

You can have great food and cold drinks anywhere, but great bartenders make you want to come back — and Ashley is exactly that kind of bartender.

🔥 5 stars all day.
🍹 Great drinks.
🍔 Great food.
🌴 Great Clearwater Beach atmosphere.
⭐ Ashley absolutely crushed it.

If you go to Hurricane Eddie’s, ask for Ashley. You won’t regret it!“

“Stephanie was on point. The food is more addicting and amazing with every visit. This is the freshest seafood in the area. We have never been disappointed. We love you frenchy's. Keep up the phenomenal work and never change. Sincerely your biggest upstate NY fan❤❤❤“

“My girlfriend and I were in town yesterday and today and after finding this place, we decided to try it on Saturday. Our server was Ashley and she was extremely nice and made sure we were taken care of. The food was so delicious that we decided to go again the next day before leaving. Ashley was our server again and she remembered us! She was just wonderful both days. The food was equally as good, I can’t recommend this place enough. I’ll be thinking about the food and atmosphere even though I live a couple of hours away“

“Food is okay, nothing special but good service.“

“Food, live music, and the sunset were the perfect vibes for a dinner date. The crab legs were perfectly sweet and the service was great! Sherlyn was our server, and she was such a delight! I’d definitely come back for the food and vibes!“

“So, I’ve been going here through 3 different owners.
Tonight, I had my only, ever, poor experience.
The bar tender walked past me 8 times, spent time chatting with other customers and never acknowledged I was there.
It was wild.
Still a 5 out of 5. But, damn.“

“Had not been at The Sauced in awhile..Still a very "cool" place. Pricing and Customer Service still tremendous. Thanks to Kelly for everything !“

“Awesome environment and love eating there“

“The atmosphere was great, we were seated in the back at a half booth half chair table and it was very nice. Not too loud but lively, and our waitress was very friendly. I got the French onion soup and the teriyaki chicken bowl and both were delicious!“

“Delicious, good service and the best cup of coffee! I will come back again for sure“

“Red fish was AMAZING!!!“

“This is my home away from home. I love the atmosphere, the people, the food is addictive and the staff are like family to me. The entertainment is fun and I love singing here. The crowd is so receptive to every singer that gets on stage to sing.“

“Emma is the most amazing, beautiful, most attentive, appreciative, helpful, loving server you could ever have. She goes above and beyond every time we’re here. She knows our name, makes us feel like we belong here. She is the absolute best. We love her!

Seth and Erin“

“The chicken tenders are my go-to!!! These things are super sized and seasoned just right! Just do yourself a favor and order them!“

“I was starving on Easter I called them without knowing the menu and the staff were helpful and awesome! when I picked up the order I got to meet the great staff! They got a laugh out of me and made my day! Great people and great food! Highly recommend, I'm a local just haven't been in many years!“

“Amazing food, cheap drinks and great atmosphere“

“This was definitely one of the best places I visited on my vacation. Food was amazing and the service was more then expected. I would definitely recommend trying it out if you’re in the area.“

“Great crowd, great staff. Karaoke, pool and darts!“

“another great meal this evening.“

“I come here maybe 2 times a month. Yesterday was the first time I ordered a pizza. With pepperoni and jalapeño. It was the best pizza I ever eaten. Better than all the pizza places. Bartenders are beautiful, kind, very friendly. So impressed that my bill was $30 . So since the Bartenders are the best, my tip was more than the cost of my bill. I was very impressed that I did a karaoke. I recommend the sports shack. Guarantee that you will be back“

“Live Music and fantastic food! Teriyaki Beef Bowl was so yummy!!“

“We really enjoyed the pool area and the overall atmosphere. It was a great place to relax, and everything we ordered was good.

The only downside was that the service was a bit slow when it came to taking our order and bringing out the food and drinks. However, the staff was friendly, and the overall experience was still enjoyable.

Overall, we had a nice time and would recommend it for the relaxing atmosphere and poolside experience.“

“Between the amazing staff, the atmosphere, and the ownership, I give this place 5 stars all day long. The bands are always amazing, the people are awesome, and if you’re feeling a little frisky, head to the back for a professionally made drink without all the nonsense. Definitely a second home kind of place — great vibes, great people, and always a good time.“

“I love the Tiki Bar!! Makes me feel like I'm on vacation even though we live only one mile away. Food is FANTASTIC. Everything is good. Greg and Ali always make me and my family feel so welcomed!! Wonderful people!!“

“Great, friendly service!!! Amazing food!!!! Xavier made our sub perfect, it was just like back home in Buffalo, NY!! Home of the famous Constanzo’s sub rolls you use!! Thanks again, for a taste of home!!! ��“

“Great little local dive bar. Ernest is one of the best bartenders!!! He brings the energy, fun and the great drinks! Go on Saturday nights when he works. You get a fun time and he may even put on a Karaoke show for you. Great singer as well as bartender!“

“Great place to relax with a friendly atmosphere enjoying a drink and Fat Jax’s Food Truck!“

“Excellent Customer Service !“

“Boy this spot is just the best! Always popular, great vibe, & the food is far above the norm. So tonite had superb baby backs w/the sides of corn & beans & brunswick stew that were "so far above normal" cuz of the lil additives. Pieces of meat in the beans & stew, fire roasted corn, wow, loooved them. Dessert can't pass up the roasted banana pudding w/cookies all through & on top, omigosh we're addicted, lol. Asked for our fave waiter Tristan, & he was there doing his usual super service, such a fun guy. TV screens on, even got to see my home team QB Patrick Mahomes of the world champion KC Chiefs doing a commercial, yaaaay! The sweet manager Chris stopped by to say hi & ask how was everything. It was wonderful, as I told him all the above, & we'll be back!“

“Over all, not bad, just a few staff not very freindly, but we all have a bad day. Need to leave it at the door.
Update: went in on Saturady the 11th. Bartender said take your seat there was three of us so we did sat on the table, front dining area we sat there for approximately 10 minutes, never seen a waitress, bartender looked over but side nothing, I counted 7 people in the whole place don't know who she was, but I can say she sucks...I have been going there since it opened, I grew up in Iowa. Just south of Waverly...“

“Love the atmosphere here! Always a good game on tv. My server Alyssa is awesome! Ask for her if you're here!!“

“Food was phenomenal. Walked in on a whim just looking to stay cool and grab a quick bite to eat. At initial glance we thought the food was overpriced but we stayed and I’m glad we did. The service was great. We got some drink specials. I ordered the chicken Caesar wrap with blackened chicken. Hands down the best chicken Caesar wrap I’ve ever had. My husband ordered the snapper which was also amazing. The portion sizes were great and justified the price. Would definitely come back and recommend to others.“

“By far some of the best food in the business On Thursday bogo on chicken parm and meatballs can't beat it those wood burning wings are the best I ever had“

“I like the chill vibe. Joey was awesome and took great care of us.“

“I would really like to thank the staff of Thirsty Marlin especially my server Smiley. He’s taken care of me before. But today. He went above and beyond. It’s my 50th birthday and no one took the time to celebrate this milestone with me. So I came out to dine alone. I got there 5 minutes after last call for all you can eat crab was called. But I asked him to see if it would be ok with a manager since my friends bailed on me. I wouldn’t be chatting. Just crabbing. Lolol. He got the all clear. And kept me stocked. All the staff would walk by and wish me a happy birthday. And Smiley chatted with me throughout my meal so I didn’t feel so alone. And on top of everything else. They also blessed with with a ginormous piece of chocolate cake. And here I was thinking. I wasn’t going to get cake for my birthday. Thank you Thirsty Marlin for helping this midcenturian celebrate having made it to the top of the hill. And again. Thank you Smiley for bringing a smile to my face when there was none. Delicious as always.“
