Sticky, dirty, dark, and slippery! The atmosphere was dark like a Halloween room. The night servers were not responsible nor responsive. They just didn’t seem to want to work. And if you paid by cash it went right into the two girls pockets that ran the bar at night. The poor owner must be broke! Local drunks hang out here mostly with significant police activity at night. The food is pretty good though! Its a shame, if the owner cleaned it up it would be a great establishment!

We have been going to the Beach Fire Grill & Bar for years and this morning will be our last time. Soda was flat, I had steak and eggs, eggs were undercooked, steak was lesser cut of meat and tough. It was awful. Service was slow and lacked care. The place is absolutely filthy. Always been a bit dirty but it was just really disgusting this time. We are done.

Great little local bar. I was sad to hear they are closing in July because someone bought the building. Karaoke nights are so much fun. I hope the will relocate somewhere in north beach.

I can completely understand the high amount of bad reviews at that place. From the worst karaoke host who refused my tourist friend to sing while a couple of people sang for 5 times in an hour. (my friend has been a karaoke host for 30 years and would never treat customers like this because she is a Pro) I got physically assaulted and NOT ONE staff member saw it! All in all it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had!

Service was with a smile however the hamburger was like a hockey puck. The meat was tasty but I asked for medium rare; not even close. Nice location on Mandalay. Sometimes you have to give them another shot, it may have been just a bad day. I’ll update should I decide to return. For now I suspect it isn’t good to have a bad day with so many options in my immediate vicinity. Bar tenders were on it. ??

The food was fantastic and the server was nice.The reason for 1 star is the restaurant is disgusting!! I understand it’s on the beach so some things may rust quicker than at other places, but there was soooo much gunk on the tables it was unreal…never seen anything like it and I spent 20yrs working in restaurants! The photo with the circle is where I took my thumbnail and lightly scraped the gunk off the table.I usually only leave good reviews, but this definitely needed pointed out! I’d be ashamed if this was my establishment

Wife and I have been trying new places on or near the beach. This place didnt disappoint. We liked the atmosphere. Not outdated but dated. Food is cooked on open wood fire. The drinks were strong and affordable. The service was great. We decided to come back another time same week for the live music. Great vibe.

Fun times, lots of intoxicated people spilling stuff all over the place but it was tolerable. They do have good breakfast but the service was a little ehhh. One girl waiting on the whole place.

Here for 3 day vacation. And the breakfast here is amazing. Got mimosas and egg sandwich my husband got beer and a breakfast plate. Would definitely come again. Also 2 ladies working there are fast at serving everyone.

Just a block off the beach and north near where we were staying, this adorable little bar and grill serves up great food in a very relaxed atmosphere. Open air seating lets the beach breeze in and sidewalk seats pour over with those having fun at night as the party dials up in Clearwater. They also show sports games.

Not the largest menu but really good for the area (may be more of a personal gripe) loved the family atmosphere, really personable service staff, and good beer on tap! Can't go wrong for a quick bite.

Husband found this place online, menu & food looked good. Rather disappointed upon arrival. Place was sort of run down, menu prices were crossed off with marker and rewritten. Server didn't know the difference between any of the beers, the drink I wanted from their drink menu they didn't have the main liquor needed (an easy substitute) and she didn't really know much about the menu items. When asked about the Tiger sauce and if it was spicy, she wasn't sure, but said not really. Upon receiving it, it was straight up horseradish mayo. I hate horseradish and wouldn't have ordered it if I'd known - definitely felt like something she should have known to tell people about. Also asked for BBQ sauce on my sandwich and received none. My husbands sandwich had way too much horseradish (which he likes) to the point of coughing so hard he burst a blood vessel in his eye because it was so strong. It's like the kitchen didn't know what they were doing either. Overall, disappointed & definitely won't be back.

We had Chicken Fried Steak and the Seafood omelet, both excellent. Staff very friendly, fast service. They brought water for our dog without asking, fed us left us alone. Reasonably priced for the area. Oh, and it's a Ravens bar, sports fans.......
