A Destin staple, love this little spot. Service is relatively quick and servers are always friendly. The Korean BBQ wings are phenomenal, and the mahi mahi tacos are my go-to. Very cute outdoor eatery, I bring all my out-of-towners here.Parking: For the most part, there is plenty of parking however sometimes the lot does get full. As long as you use the kiosk inside the resturaunt to validate your parking, its free. If you don't, you will get a ticket in the mail so beware.Kid-friendliness: Small corn-hole setup at the front of the restaurant.

What a great place for a quality meal and a drink outstanding service the food was excellent I would highly recommend this restaurant for a family meal or with friendsParking: Verify your license plate number parking is freeKid-friendliness: Food for children and when you sit outside they can watch the water foulWheelchair accessibility: Excellent ramps
If you're diving into Destin's vibrant nightlife, The Harbor Tavern is the local favorite you can't miss. Nestled among Destin's top spots like the Boathouse, Red Door, and Mikita, this tavern stands out for its unique blend of great music, delicious food, and warm hospitality. It's the perfect kickoff or climax to your night out, offering an experience that resonates with both locals and visitors alike. Whether you're in for the music range from rock to EDM or the mouthwatering menu, The Harbor Tavern is a cornerstone of Destin's social scene, promising unforgettable nights by the harbor.
I have to edit my previous good rating. We left the restaurant and was told that the parking would be taken care of, as their parking kiosk was not working "correctly" yet again (our third time eating here). This time, however, it was NOT taken care of. After several calls, and a receipt sent to them proving that we ate there that day, we ended up paying an 85 dollar ticket. This is incredibly irritating! If we are ever reimbursed for this (not holding my breath!), then I will adjust my rating accordingly. People traveling should be made aware of this bizarre setup, which is why I'm taking the time to write. If you eat here (the food IS good), make absolute certain you get a receipt that the parking is taken care of, no matter how busy they are or what they tell you.

Edit: completely different experience last night from two years ago. The staff was fully trained and informed about dietary restrictions. I had the pork belly bowl and it was good. The pork belly could’ve used some spice or smoke, but it was a solid dish well prepared. I will definitely be going back!

This is one of the best kept local secrets on the Destin Harbor. We have never had a bad meal here. This is a great spot to pop in for just a drink or stay for the amazing food. Look forward to going back soon.

This place has AMAZING FOOD and SERVICE. Miriam is genuinely fabulous and the cocktails from Anthony are top notch! DO NOT miss out. Seek them out and you WILL NOT be disappointed! Pork belly tacos are delicious and the bowls will satisfy ALL cravings. DO NOT pass this place up. You will be sorry if you do.
This place was AWESOME ! So many places were closed on Mondays, they were open & greeted us so friendly. Food was amazing & the view of the water was great too! Will be back ?
