13 Best Bars in Destin

“We visited Fort Walton for the first time and I had already planned to visit this restaurant. I was so excited because of what I saw on the internet. It absolutely did not disappoint. We enjoyed the nachos & mixed drinks. The scavenger hunt was so much fun with my husband and 3 year old and the alligator show was so educational. We will definitely go back!! Oh, and we met “Henry” the 1 year old baby gator that we took a photo with!“

“Amazing, came back twice on a short vacation. Brittney the bartender and the best oysters we’ve ever had being the sole reasons. Would make the 6 hour drive here just for that“

“Fantastic resort in Destin with the best views and rooms!“

“We came here for lunch after our tiki boats and it was just the type of food and vibe we were looking for! We were a big group so they suggested we just pop up and order at the bar when we were ready; food was faster than anticipated so we were impressed! The ranch is AMAZING and the chicken tenders slayed. Fries were meh but again, the ranch was great.“

“If you are looking for a great NY style slice and a delicious frozen drink, day or night, this is your place. All slices are large and have a great taste and just the right thickness. If you get a drink you have to go for the green jester. You can even get a gallon to bring on the boat or the beach!“

“Madison was a great bartender! So personable and her drinks were amazing! Can’t wait to come back. Our whole group throughly enjoyed her company!“

“We’ve been here several times during the evening hours. But our first time experience at lunch was a bit disappointing. My food came out but my wife’s calzone came much later. Our waiter was hardly checking on us for refills and never apologized or even tell us the food would come out late. (Plus no bread or their special oil.) I know it was lunch, but my highlight was the bread. I don’t know if we will come for lunch for a while, but we will give it a chance for evenings. I even wrote a note on the receipt and left my phone#. But as yet have I received a call.“

“Our server, Tom, was so patient with our large group of adults and children, kept our glasses filled and bellies full. He also made an excellent recommendation for me with the Cajun chicken pasta (I was not blessed with seafood or spicy tastebuds), and stated he would recommend the chicken just be “golden” and not blackened so that it wouldn’t be spicy- it was delicious! Not too spicy, delicious flavor, and large portion size. Thank you Tom for the excellent recommendation and service!“

“Mariah was the best all servers should be so talented. She made our day so fun. They call the wind. If you see this Mariah watch for Brad. Food was good also we have gone to PJ for years when in Destin always good. Shout put to Ed.“

“The Harbor Tavern is one of my absolute favorites! Great vibe and kid friendly! My family took Destin Harbor Haulers to dinner and we had yet another amazing time at the Harbor Tavern! Thanks to Chris with the Destin Harbor Haulers for getting us there!“

“Best spot to get BBQ in Destin!!!! The food was Incredible. We will Def be visiting again next year.“

“Fantastic food and very attentive waitstaff! Enjoyed the outdoor covered dining area with views of the water.“
