15 Best Bars in Fort Walton Beach

“Great place to go with friends and just hang out.“

“I’ve been here several times over the past few years. They have a great selection of vintage arcade games and some stellar modern pinball machines. They do a good job bringing new games in so it’s usually updated from the last visit. Beer selection is on point- whoever picks out the games and beer has great taste. I was shocked how clean the bathrooms were. Staff was friendly. Fort Walton is lucky to have a great small business like this!

Kid-friendliness: While it’s technically a beer bar, it felt fine having kids here during the day.“

“We visited last summer, and stumbled on it by chance. We had a great time and ended up visiting multiple times during our vacay. Before we left the bartender knew my drink order! Friday nights get busy due to the military crowd, but we were there during peak season and had the best time. Cold drinks, not over priced, and not a tourist trap. We love the duck“

“Simple place to relax and get a good drink. Bill, a bartender, always has a great conversation with you and makes the best vodka cranberry! They bring in awesome musical talent and keep the pool table well maintained!

Parking: Parking in the back and to the side of the building.“

“Really amazing staff, tasty drinks and an extensive craft beer list. The bartender David was really helpful and knowledgeable about his spirits as well as his beer. Definitely a strong asset from what i can tell. I think the bevador room is a hit as well as a great addition to the downtown Ft. Walton Beach area. Ill definitely be back!!!“

“Thanks Krystal for awesome drinks and service! One of our new favorites in Destin!“

“This has turned out to be a great resort. Comfortable room, great view, nice food choices in plenty of different spots to avoid crowding, and not boring at all. From the poolside DJ to the friendly staff a great experience. The breakfast buffet was great as well.“

“great atmosphere Damion playing guitar out back, good vibes Katuy on bar, great place to chill.“

“yes it was small but fun!“

“I visited Sammy's in Fort Walton just last night (6-17-24) and it was a blast. This is the first time i had ever been in this type of establishment and it exceeded my expectations. The service was amazing, the drinks werent very expensive and all the ladies were great on stage. It was a little slow when we got there around 10pm but it definitely picked up soon after that. Especially when Gabby got there and got on stage, her set was amazing and she was by far my favorite. So if you are in or around the area, be sure and stop in and ask for Gabrielle, you definitely wont be disappointed.“

“We are visiting the Ft Walton beach area for the first time. Soi Bistro came highly recommended and did not disappoint. Friendly staff and an enjoyable atmosphere. Will definitely go back to try more of their offerings. A must for sure“

“Great food, service and atmosphere . ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I would have bought a shirt because I loved my experience but they were kinda pricey. I will definitely visit again on my next trip to the area.“

“Consistently good service and great food. I’m a picky eater and they always always cook my food the way I like it. Prices are right on par for the area. I love this place.“

“Fun and enjoyable place to take your entire family.“

“We just visited here last night and loved the beautiful view and great food. Our waitress was nice and quick to refill our drinks. Only complaint I have is that it was hot in the restaurant (it doesn’t have ac) but that’s expected in Florida. Husband didn’t care for his lobster tacos he said they were salty but I really enjoyed my chicken tacos. Highly recommend and will be back when in town again! They also have a gluten free menu you just have to ask!“
