50 Best Bars near Clearwater Beach

“My husband and I always come down to this hotel about 2-3 times a year and love it! 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!!“

“What a fun place to spend an hour or two. Great food (especially their guac), great drinks, and especially great service. Hats off to our favorite server Morgan. She is definitely "service with a smile".😊“

“Great place to hang out, eat, and enjoy the scenery. Shepard's is located on a quiet portion of the Clearwater inlet. They have a private sandy beach that can be accessed by small boats or jet skies. They have a stage for live entertainment and covered areas with separate liquor bars. Each covered, open air pavilion, offers TVs in each corner so folks can enjoy individual live games. Shepard's wait staff was super. Our waiter Alan was on top of things and met our needs; he didn't allow our drink glasses to get dry.“

“This is a great casual bar/restaurant with reasonable prices and really good food and drinks. It was so good the first time, we went back on the last day of our vacation for happy hour. Servers were all great. The grouper nuggets were sooo good.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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“

“For the past three years, we’ve been going to Reboot every week! We love popping in with our kids on the weekend or heading there for a Thursday date night. There are so many great games to play, whether solo or with a group, and the staff is always amazing, especially Jon! The vibe is perfect, and the décor strikes the ideal balance between nostalgic and modern. They regularly rotate their craft beer selection! And truly CRAFT beers! There’s always a great sour for me and an IPA for my husband. If you’re a gamer or just looking for a fun spot to enjoy a beer with great ambience , we 10/10 recommend Reboot!“

“Beerbusters has a great vibe for all your moods. There are new beers weekly, so you can just sit there and watch the new crop roll in.“

“Lots of great and unique drinks on tap; I try not to drink too much anymore, unless it’s something unique I haven’t had... Good atmosphere, friendly people, bartender seems to be a really genuine person, and their food is pretty good as well“

“Awesome spot for kratom, kava and they have a great smoke shop. The staff is super friendly and remembers me by name after only my first visit. Joey’s product knowledge is impressive and he’s helped me a lot learning more about the products offered. Gary introduced me to most of my go-to kratom flavors. Doren is always positive and interesting to talk to. I love this place. 🙂“

“Hello LBC. I wrote a pretty rude review after ownership changed, and I was very impressed that Eugene responded kindly to such a complaint. Thank you so much, I have heard great things from Hair Salon gals, especially regarding great events in updated event room. I guess I had a hard time with the changes. I will definitely visit you again and am excited to learn about your events. Thank you so much for your response. It made all the difference.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Hurricane Eddie’s sits right on the Dunedin Causeway, a prime spot if you want to grab a drink with friends by the water. The place itself has plenty of room, lots of seating, and an easygoing vibe that works well for groups.

The food is straightforward. The wings were standard, fried plain with sauce on the side, and the chicken wrap was fine but not memorable. It is typical bar food that does the job without offering anything special.

The drinks and service are where Eddie’s stands out. Beers are cold, prices are easy on the wallet, and both bartenders and servers kept things moving with friendly and attentive service.

If you are coming for excellent food you will probably find it average. If your goal is to hang out with friends, enjoy cheap drinks, and count on good service in a relaxed spot, Hurricane Eddie’s delivers.“

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

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

“In town for an event and stumbled upon JR’s. The atmosphere. The food. The live music. The patio. The drinks. This vibes. 10/10, highly recommend!“

“Good service and food beautiful views right on the water“

“We visited from New Jersey on our vacation. Awesome place. Wine is OMG out of this world. After a lovely wine tasting we left with 12 bottles. It was quite difficult not to open it on our drive home dealing with I95. I do so wish we had a "Miami Ave" in NJ. Thank you for a really terrific wine treat. We will be back !“

“todo es delicioso 😋 y los precios al alcance del bolsillo 😃👏“

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

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

“Great local bar. Staff is always kind and courteous, boyfriend loves the karaoke. Never had an issue with anything.“

“Great indoor food. #luck!“

“We had an absolute blast here! Dennis & Jeff are SASSY AF & we absolutely loved it! Such a fun experience! Highly recommend unless youre a sensitive little sally or a bad tipper, then dont waste their time!“

“The food and drinks here are fantastic. Service could be better. To the bartenders: I understand that it's important to keep your regulars happy, but that shouldn't mean you ignore customers you don't know. It's cool to be laid back at work, but I shouldn't feel like I'm intruding on your house party just to get your attention to place a drink order.“

“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!“

“Jared is the greatest!! What a great spot to unwind. I will definitely be back for the Sunset Vue!! 🍹“
