23 Best Cocktail Bars near Daytona Beach Shores

“Amazing Drinks!!! Staff is Friendly and Positive vibes... Love it!!!“

“Owners, entertainment, food, vibe, staff - all a 10/10. While everything was fantastic, I’d come just for the ceaser salad and peanut butter pie alone. Can’t wait to visit again.“

“I went to play a few games of pool tonight, and for some reason, the open table wasn't letting the balls return to the rails...Mike worked at it from a couple of different angles, until he figured it out, and it was fine the rest of the night. It was quite, but I remember that it's Monday, usually the slowest night of the week....so I think I will go tomorrow and get into the pool tournament ($5 Entry Fee) and hopefully do as well as I was shooting tonight.“

“Great little bar that's not stingy with the alcohol. The prices are awesome too. Stopped here with my husband for a night cap, and it was so much better ( & cheaper) than the hotel bar. Their are also game machines, pool tables, multiple tvs and great music playing. I'm so glad we stopped here!“

“I had such a great experience here with my friends. We aren’t from Florida and we were going on a little trip, so we decided to stop and get a drink. The service here is great! Our bartender, Jojo, was incredible. She was always tentative to our needs and incredibly nice. I was definitely recommend this bar.“

“Absolute fantastic place to eat ! Every dish was phenomenal. It’s a rare gem ! So happy we ate here . The food the atmosphere the waitress was most memorable place this vacation time around. Big thank you“

“Great local bar. The staff is so welcoming and the food is great, the all day breakfast is amazing. Live music with great local bands every weekend. The owners are great and give back to the community. If you are looking for a great place to go that isn't beachside busy, this is the place.“

“We usually come twice a month and always request Serenity as our server. She is wonderful. The Tiki trio is a great deal to look at. I personally love the shrimp toast and the Surfside grouper. Will continue to come back to request my favorite server and to enjoy the view and food.“

“We just ran the 360 Photo Booth at Salty D’s for a charity fundraiser event for Awareness Day (Legal Abuse) with After Awareness. We had such a great time, the venue, staff and food was phenomenal! I overheard people saying it was the best ribeye (if I recall right - I’m a vegetarian here, lol) they have ever heard. I had French fries and the house salad and it was great! We were blown away with the hospitality, kindness and quality of food. I would definitely recommend, plus you’re right across the street from the beach!“

“We went to Caribbean Jacks while on vacation, and were not disappointed. The food was wonderful, and the service was fantastic. This is not the reason for the review however. When we contacted the restaurant about a possible lost credit card, Chris and the rest of his staff went above and beyond by locating the card, then personally mailing it to our home. Now that’s service!“

“My boyfriend and I played here on our Florida vacation and really really enjoyed it! The course was beautiful and everyone there was so incredibly kind! My boyfriend even won the raffle! Perfect day to wrap up our vacation. We will definitely be back for sure!“

“My wife and I went to Ponce Inlet, never having been before. We were greeted by Caitlyn, I hoped I spelled her name correctly, who was the most gracious server we have had in a long time. Great service, great food, great view, affordable and just a great find. Highly recommend to anyone in the area. We plan on making this place a definite stop when we're in the area. Kudos to the staff !!! ☆☆☆☆☆“

John and his staff were extremely attentive to our needs and requests during the planning, the implementation and execution of the party. The food display was magnificent. The service was superb and the attention to detail was on point. This location is the perfect spots for locals to host events!“

“Senioritas mexican restaraunt is our go to. The best in Daytona.“

“Excellent!!! highly reccomend“

“I took my niece and her friends there for her 13th birthday on Saturday for a fancy dinner. The staff here was amazing made her birthday extra special started with the menu she opened it and it said happy birthday with her name. Our waiters were amazing imagine how chaotic and loud four 13 year old girls can be but they didn’t skip a beat. Made sure their drinks were always full and very attentive that my niece said how did they know I wanted this. It was all around a great experience. Will be visiting again but if you want a loved one to feel special for their special day this is the place“

“Great hotel and great service! Isabela and the team that put together the drinks/food at our conference were great and incredibly fun! They all brought great energy into our conference and were always helpful. Isabela went above and beyond taking care of our group during happy hour“

“best taco salad and great service“

“I had such a great time at this restaurant! I went with a group of 6 ladies for a girls night out. The ambiance was warm and inviting with a stunning backdrop on the water. The hostess and servers were so inviting and patient with everyone. The drinks and appetizers unique and delicious! This is a classy but very comfortable place to go for a relaxing evening. I highly recommend for couples looking for a romantic evening but also for groups of friends to go somewhere and unwind.“

“My daughter and I had the pleasure of enjoying the absolute best Italian food we have ever experienced! The restaurant is beautiful with indoor and outdoor seating, the service was excellent and the food was incredible. Highly recommend! We will for sure be back! Don't forget to order their cheesecake! yum 😋“

“Dinner service at Don Rico’s was a pleasant surprise. The service was attentive (Danielle was amazing ) but what blew me away was Chef Brandon’s special. He gets a fresh catch each week and offers seasonal specials. I had the Mahi curry with jasmine rice and for a beachside sports bar, this was a meal I would find at a fine dining experience. If you are at the resort don’t judge dinner service by the lunch - it is a total 360.“
