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!!“

“We checked into the hotel and figured we’d go to the rooftop for a quick lunch because we were starved and it was right at the hotel. We didn’t expect a whole lot but what we got was awesome!!! We met Eric who is fabulous and we pretty well ended up spending the day and night there, (it’s not typical for us to hang at a bar). After Eric left, we met Tyler and Brandon. They were tons of fun, too. The food was fabulous as well and we had a blast!!! We went back the next night and we will be back again tonight! This place is great!!!!“

“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.“

“Wonderful atmosphere. Great food and a nice selections of wines. The service is among the best around.“

The staff was so friendly and helpful, the food was really good, and the overall vibe was great. Everyone in our group had such a fun time playing pool and hanging out. It was the perfect spot for a celebration, and I would definitely recommend it! We wil be back.“

“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.🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤣😎..“

He was willing to store our luggage, provided us a clean space to enjoy our lunch, and made sure we escaped from the pirate room in time to catch our flight!“
