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!“

“We'd been here before but just for drinks. This time we stopped for lunch... and wow... we're glad we did! It was a delicious delight! The Cuban was amazingly good... one of the best I've ever had and it was huge! My husband had the clam chowder and he was very pleasantly surprised. We'll definitely be back.“

“Bobby was awesome bartender“

“The food and service was outstanding. We ordered escargot, the scallops and the mahi “Oscar”. The flavors were so good!“

“Food was delicious, Grouper sandwich, seafood pasta, crab cakes, lobster mac all delicious, had the chef special for dessert tres Leche cake was soo delicious. We enjoyed everything so much we came back same day for dinner.“

“We 3 are Buffalonians, Joe is Buffalo transplant from Vermont, now all seasonal residents in LakeView of Largo. We planned a visit to Buffalo Charlie’s, turns out Art was recognized by the owner cooking our meal from Buffalo baseball teams he ran back in the day! Small world indeed! On top of that food was Great reminiscent of back home! Bologna, Beef and Chicken top notch, Gennie beer too! We’ll be back!“

“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“

“f you are heading back from Caladesi or Honeymoon Island, do yourself a favor and stop at Frenchy's Outpost. We ordered a massive spread including their velvety She Crab Soup, fresh Seafood Ceviche, and the jalapeno popper shrimp. For mains, the coconut shrimp and classic Florida Grouper Sandwich absolutely hit the spot alongside their legendary loaded Garlic Crab Fries. Don't skip dessert either; the 4th of July cake, tangy key lime pie, and rich coconut cheesecake are fantastic. The service was excellent, and the food quality justifies the price point. We will definitely be back!“

“What a great place to eat!! Service with SAVANNA was outstanding she was at our table all the time to make sure everything was ok. Food was great. Highly recommend“

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

“Awesome environment and love eating there“

“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.“

“Our family had a great experience at Crabby’s Bar & Grill. Sherlyn was our waitress. We’ve been in Key West and Sarasota the past week and wife and I agreed she was the most attentive and friendly waitress we’ve had on our vacation. We had the blackened grouper and the oysters. We enjoyed both very much.“

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

“MMM MMM MMM!! 😋 I got the cheesesteak with beer cheese and peppers on the side. but this was the first time i’ve eaten peppers straight up! The owner, Ian, stopped by our table and had a lovely conversation with us! Our server food and drinks were perfect! Definitely would recommend!! thank you guys“

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

“Red fish was AMAZING!!!“

“Wonderful food and staff! Food was hot and fresh and was served quickly, bar tenders were very responsive and aware of their customers. The overall atmosphere is great too, fun and inclusive karaoke nights are held here, and anyone can sign up! Will definitely come here again soon!“

“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“

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

“another great meal this evening.“

“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!“

“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!!! ��“

“Excellent Customer Service !“

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

“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!“

“As someone visiting from Iowa, we decided on our last night to drive back to Clearwater to eat here. Husband said tenderloin was good but breading needed to be a little better. It was falling off the loin. Loose meat was good and so was the Mac n Cheese.“

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

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

“Such an awesome experience! Came in on a Karaoke night, right before they got busy. Anthony was very quick to great us and get our orders. He was running, non-stop but still consistently checked our drinks and food.
What an awesome night to go in! If you have a chance to go to Karaoke, don't miss it!
Thank you Anthony and Katja for making our last night at Clearwater so beautifully memorable!!!“

“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.“
