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".😊“

“We dined here for dinner on 1/16/26. The staff are friendly and accommodating. I had the Fun-Guy burger and fries and the wife had the Tropical salad with Mango vinaigrette. The food was all good. The Mango vinaigrette was very good. The atmosphere is real nice at this resort restaurant. Plenty of seating outside at tables and the bar. Nice water view also.“

“Salty's provided such a great dining experience! We went for dinner on a cooler night and sat on the first floor- the restaurant is open air to the front, but the weather is a non-issue, because of their heaters throughout. There was live music that was very enjoyable (and I'm usually not a live music gal, but this guy was crushing it!). We were one of the closest tables to the music and could still have regular conversation without feeling the atmosphere was too loud. We ordered the brussels sprouts as an appetizer- phenomenal. I ordered the blackened grouper sandwich as an entire, and my husband ordered a special halibut entree- both were out of this world- fresh, seasoned well, excellent! Our server was extremely friendly and tentative and the trainee she had with her you would've thought was already working there for years. All staff during our experience were friendly and accommodating.“

“Such a fun spot in Dunedin. The staff is amazing and its always a great night.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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“

“Not really 5 stars… more like a minus but they don’t post the bad reviews 🤣hard to get a drink - sat at bar right where they make the drinks, but I guess we were invisible. Total joke“

“Went here with some friends on a Friday night. They had live music and really nice dart boards 🎯 the place wasn't that big but it was the perfect size & very welcoming 😎 the main reason I wanted to leave a review was because of their food. I had their special which was a Prime rib 😮 with french fries on garlic toast, it was delicious, there fries are amazing. Everything that my friends had they also loved.. All of the staff were amazing very friendly. Even the cook came out and asked how we enjoyed our food. The prices are unbeatable. I had dinner and a drink for 20 bucks prior to going to the blind shark. We had gone to another bar and it cost me 30 bucks to have two drinks.🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤣😎..“

“Karaoke with Jay Ables the best“

“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!“

“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 !“

“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!“

“Picture this: You stroll into what's supposed to be a fancy yacht club, ready to rub elbows with fellow elite yacht owners and flaunt your nautical prowess.But lo and behold, what you encounter is a group of landlubbers pretending to be yacht enthusiasts!You, being the experienced yacht owner that you are, instantly spot the impostors. These folks wouldn't know the bow from the stern if it slapped them in the face with a fish!It's like they've never even stepped foot on a yacht, let alone owned one. Ah, the audacity!And let's not forget about the bartenders. Bless their hearts, they might be lacking a few knots in their mental rigging. One moment, you're innocently sipping your mimosa, and the next, a bleach-soaked rag comes flying towards you like a rogue wave! Your pristine $50 shirt, which was meant to make its grand debut that same evening ends up playing an unexpected role as a bleach-soaked canvas.So, my dear friends, it seems that this so-called “Yacht Club” is nothing more than an inflatable boat club. And after this unforgettable experience, I wouldn't blame you if you never set foot in that place again. After all, why waste your time with fake yacht owners and bartenders who are a few sails short of a full mast?- Kim Karen Jensen“
