12 Best Sports Bars near Destin

“Hunter is the absolute best bartender that has happened to CJ's. He was so attentive with a full bar, he made us and everyone else feel right at home. I've been in before, but will definitely be back especially on his shifts. The drinks are amazing, the food was awesome, and Hunter's personality tied it all together. His singing helped too.“

“We had the best time , food was great. Service was on point. Highly recommend a visit“

“If you’re in Destin and looking for a casual spot with surprisingly great food, the Golf Club Grill is a must-visit. I ordered the hamburger topped with grilled pork belly, and it was absolutely fantastic—juicy, flavorful, and the pork belly added a smoky richness that took it to another level.

The side salad with creamy Italian dressing was fresh and crisp, a perfect lighter balance to the burger. But the real standout might have been the grilled Brussels sprouts with a jam sauce. They were beautifully charred with just the right amount of sweetness from the sauce—seriously addictive.

Everything came out hot, well-prepared, and clearly made with care. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and they have plenty of televisions throughout the space, making it a great place to catch sporting events while enjoying a really solid meal. I’ll definitely be back to try more of the menu.“

“Fun places for the family“

“Our first time there! Food was delicious, the Gumbo was the best we have ever had. Our server Silvia was very sweet and provided excellent service. The only detraction was a server from the bar area walked thru the dining area multiple times carrying on a loud almost yelling conversation with someone who was still in the bar area. For a quiet afternoon with only 7 other diners this was annoying and totally not necessary. But regardless, we will return.“

“Came here for our wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint the service was great and the food was so very very delicious!! Will be coming back thank you to Ron and Lexi at the Destin Florida location for such a wonderful first experience at millers ale house !“

“We had a huge group there and took over the entire restaurant. The food and service was amazing. The meatballs were out of this world good !!“

“believe it or not, this was my first time ever at hooters and our experience was great! we came in during veterans day and it wasn’t too busy. we were seated quickly and our server got us our drinks quickly too.

we got the wings and the buffalo chicken sandwich. i got the garlic habanero dry rub and it was so good! garlicky, spicy, and crispy. wings were perfect and the fries were good too. the chicken sandwich tasted pretty standard but not bad.

our server was great and we will definitely be back!“

“We chose Jake & Henry's for anniversary dinner. We couldn't have been more pleased. The service was 2nd to none & the food was simply awesome. For many years I felt Staff's (when they were in business) served the best filet mignon in town, but then came Jake & Henry's and you nailed it. My filet mignon was incredibly delicious. I ask to have it done medium, and it was perfect. Juicy & pink, very flavorful. Tillie had surf & turf. Equally amazing. Thank you Matt & staff for a marvelous dinner. Les & Tillie Hutchinson“

“Our experience at FatBoys was outstanding! Madden, our server, quickly fixed the flickering lights, which was a huge relief for our autistic son. The hostess and team (Camille, Emma, Pam, and Emilee) were incredibly kind and attentive. The food was fantastic—we loved the steak and cheese eggrolls, the perfectly cooked bacon burger, and our son enjoyed the lumberjack burger. Everything was hot and delicious. Highly recommend!“

“First time here in a couple years. Great food as always but the service was the absolute best. Rebecca was our server and was not only super attentive but has a genuine sweet personality that others in the business should follow. You have a gem for an employee. Hard to find someone of her Calibur especially at her age.“

“Stopped in on a Sunday , to watch football.
First the good.
Beer was ice cold. Bucket of Bud for $13.
Got a club wrap. It was excellent
The bad.
The service was very spotty. When I first sat down at the bar, there was no bartender. I sat there for at least 5-10 minutes waiting for service. We all wanted the Steeler/Lions game on the TV. There was no one there to put the game on (eventually bartender showed up & put game on)
A little better customer service, & this place rocks“
