Chair rentals, beach service, no car needed as it’s convenient to everything, & the ocean view rooms are great as well with good sized balconies! It’s right on the water and the Restaurant/bar offers great food and drinks as well! We love coming down and always enjoy our stay!!“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at this lovely establishment, and I must say, it exceeded my expectations in every way. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a cool and inviting atmosphere that made me feel right at home. Creating a delightful backdrop for a great meal.

The service was equally impressive. The staff was attentive without being overbearing, striking that perfect balance that so many places overlook. Everyone seemed genuinely invested in ensuring we had a great experience, which always makes a meal more enjoyable.

The cleanliness of the place only further added to the overall positive experience. You can tell that a lot of effort goes into maintaining a tidy space, which is a huge plus in my book.

In summary, this is a great spot that I would confidently recommend to anyone looking for a cool spot to hang out and have great food. I can truly say you’re in for a treat here! Don’t miss it!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great place to stop in for lunch or dinner and a cold one !! Super friendly staff located in a private gated community Cove Cay, yet open to the public. Just tell them you’re going to AJ‘s at the gate. Beautiful marina waterfront views“

“Gooses is quickly becoming our Go-To local bar! With their fun and welcoming staff, great bar menu and super reasonable drink prices, they ARE the quintessential neighborhood bar! Steve, the owner, is a good sport and always does what he can to accommodate his guests. They're cheese steaks are AWESOME! (order them with jalapenos. You'll thank me later!) They have dozens of TVs for watching "The Game" along with Darts, Pool Tables and other arcade games! You can count on my wife and I to be there on game day! 5 -Stars All The Way!“

“Nolan is very attentive and chill. Kratom helped me get off pain pills.“

“I absolutely love going to LBC and I have truly never had a bad experience, but I had to write a review after yesterday's experience in particular. Yesterday was the Father's Day Car Show and it was truly amazing! Dasha did a phenomenal job putting this event together and it was the perfect way to celebrate Father's Day and be with family. The parking lot was packed with cars, there were vendors, a DJ, raffles, drink and food specials, and great people. With a great car show going on outside and customers coming in to eat, I was blown away at how well the staff at LBC handled the crowd. Dasha, you were absolutely amazing, not only did you plan the entire car show, but you also made your rounds to speak with everyone and make sure everyone was taken care of and having a good time. I will definitely be attending more of your car shows or really any event you plan because my best experiences at LBC seem to be when you are my server/bartender or you're the master mind behind fun events like Disney Night. Thank you Dasha, Keepin' It Real Customz, and LBC for an amazing day!“

“Great little place. Almost too much to choose from. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Shame I'm a tourist and there's no place like this round me“

“Karaoke with Jay Ables the best“

“This is an amazing place to visit and drink and play. It happens to be in the amazing downtown Dunedin. I am a pinball nerd and they always have new games and games that actually work well. Thank you, Reboot. I’ll be seeing you soon. Oh! Get your coin.“

“Great source of information“

“A great place to watch the sunset and meet new people“

“Went there while on vacation. Had drinks and fish and chips. Delicious. Hunter and Cass were awesome bartender/servers. Very attentive and friendly. Great about checking how we were doing, even as it got busy. There was live music, James Galione, he was really really good. Will definitely be back next vacation!“

“Great Local's Bar. Staff is top notch. One of my faves.“

“Great place! Good local crowd!“

“Blind Shark was the closest bar to our Airbnb and did not disappoint. Coming from Wisconsin, we don't have local watering holes you can smoke inside, so that was a huge plus to us! Drink selection was perfect for our simple tastes, and the locals/bartenders were great. Food was amazing also!Their karaoke night, I made sure to sign up. In the process, I made a friend (who is a local) and got her to sing with me for her first time in years! My fiance and I became friends with her and her husband, spending time with them outside of the bar during our stay.The hospitality is bar-none (no pun intended) and I'd be ecstatic to go back in the future. Very comfy space.“

“I wanted to pesonally send a huge shout out to Derek and Jarrod. We had a little rooftop birthday get together for my husband and these 2 were entertaining, hard working, accommodating and stellar. Thank you both for the delicious drinks and conversation!“

“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!“

“Overall a fun atmosphere with friendly staff. The singer Rob Kosinski was excellent! Talented and entertaining plus he took requests. The service at bar was slow but expected with only one person doing the work. Our food order was slow as well but definitely worth the wait. Best BLT in years!!! Loved that they have a RUSH pinball machine ? Will definitely be going back! I would have given 5 stars but will call this a 4.5 only because service was slow.“

“great bar, great atmosphere“

“This was a great beach bar restaurant. We are doing window film on the new Winter the Dolphin's Beach Club. Not too many places are open due to the circumstances but I had an amazing grouper sandwich and I saw the attention when and to everyone wearing gloves and they were super prepared. Great job. I would highly recommend this beach bar restaurant.“

“Just awesome the whole way around! New comers! Warm welcome from owner! Clean fun and hometown feel!“

“We are SOOOOO glad we stopped here for lunch/dinner today. Despite the place being packed, we were sat quickly and our server came to take our drink order promptly. Being our first time, we asked her for some menu suggestions and she could not have given us better recommendations. He had the tropical fish flatbread and I had the island fire shrimp tacos. Both dishes had incredible flavor and the portions were HUGE. The prices were incredibly reasonable, as well.

This place has got it going on!!!

We will definitely be stopping by for more than just one meal next time we are visiting the area.“

“Great indoor food. #luck!“

“Hidden gem on the causeway!
Hurricane Eddie’s is exactly what a good dive bar should be — laid back, full of character, and always welcoming. It’s got that local charm that’s hard to find these days. The bartender is fantastic — super friendly and on top of everything. You’ll always feel like a regular here, even if it’s your first time.

It’s open-air, which gives it a great beachy feel, and the prices are refreshingly reasonable. The food is way better than you’d expect from a little dive bar — definitely worth ordering. Plus, there are pool tables, darts, and just an all-around good vibe, especially if you're looking for something casual and unpretentious.

If I had one suggestion — they could use some better lighting in the parking lot. It’s easy to miss, and some people might not realize they’re open. A little live music now and then would take it up a notch too.

Still, this place is a solid spot to hang with friends, grab a drink, and feel like you’re part of the local scene. Don’t pass it by —“

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

“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“

“The chicken wings are awesome and so are the drinks 🍻 cheers!“

“The most laid back upscale spot located inside a great hotel. I had a great time here on vacation celebrating my 50th. Caitlin was such a great bartender and home base tour guide, (Thank you Caitlin!), and everyone else was just as nice but to many to remember names. You guys Rock!.“

“come and hang out wonderful“

“Perfect dinner choice for us before bowling tonight. Carol, our waitress, was fantastic. She was on her first night back from a 6 month break and did her very best to make sure we were taken care of even though she was struggling with some changes to the order taking device. She was so sweet. The other waiter on staff was also attentive and helpful. Our food came out in good time and was delicious. Most importantly, don’t forget to save room for dessert because OH MY is it amazing!“

“Everything good place good people good bartenders will be going back“

“Best bartenders. Great times. Great people. Good drinks!!“

“I love this little place. Jeff the bartender is amazing can’t wait to go back.“

“My wife and I came here for a short getaway. We spent one day at the Spa for a couples massage and other services. The spa and spa staff were great. Overall our trip was great. The hotel felt a little bit dated but it was clean and comfortable. We were there during the off season so there were not a lot of people there. The room rates were very affordable compared to other spa hotels in the area.“
